Poker Memory

I find it interesting how we poker players think we’re always owed something by the poker gods. When we “finally” catch a river card, it’s simply “justice for the last 17 times we got sucked out on…” We seem to always remember the bad beats we take, yet we conveniently forget the hands where we get lucky. I think I’ll coin a new phrase and call that phenomenon poker memory.

(By the way, thank you Charles, for the inspiration. I hope I don’t have to pay you royalties if it catches on and becomes part of the common vernacular…)

See ya at the tables…
