Site's not recording the brazillions who must surely agree with me, and I'm upset it don't.

But the numbers of likes received is actually measured in brazillions, it's just that it's been rounded up to the nearest brazillion. So from what I can see you've been given 379 Brazillion likes, which is 30 Brazillion more than me.

I was inspired by a guy I play poker against online. He's so predictable, and so bad that I can read him like a book. It's not uncommon for me to chase him to the river, because he keeps me mathematically in so many pots, and of course, his weak play.

And seems it never fails, I'll be raking the chips, and there he sits typing such as, "I can't believe you won when you play so stupidly". It's far less stupid play, and more "since he thinks a pair of tens is such a good hand, and since I'm already up by a couple hundred thousand, I'll call his piddly thousand dollar bets all the way to the river".

I paraphrase the Texas Dolly, "Joey, here's my chips, but you sure don't know how to play you no poker!"

In poker, debate, real life, business and warfare -- "Know your enemy and do not overestimate your abilities or underestimate theirs".

Many engage in any venue thinking they are vastly superior to the opposition (a deadly mistake) -- and have their head handed to them.

Here in debate the "Armor of God" Acts 17:11 does not protect "his crusaders" who often swing the broadsword of righteousness wildly -- and suffer "death of a thousand cuts" from rapiers that are much more nimble without the weight of armor and the baggage of attempting to defend indefensible positions.

Your typically wise wisdom.

I might come off a bit proud in my post there, but it's all free chips, and I've certainly had my share of bad beats, bad plays, and bad days.

Back when I was in college, many years ago, one of my friends was a back gammon hustler. I had an education where he hustled someone who was a hustler want to be. ..better than average, but not nearly as good as my friend. My friend suckered him in all the more by agreeing it was just luck. That was one my lessons about 'Don't let your ego get the better of you'.
