Over the course of the summer, my cousin continued to stay over frequently and we‘d catch an episode here and there but it was pretty difficult to keep up considering that, as far as we knew, it came on only once or twice a week at 3 am. Eventually, we missed a few episodes in a row and just forgot about it until we came across the video that would forever change our lives - Rounders.
That movie opened up my eyes. The game of poker and the life of a gambler intrigued me. I wanted to experience it. As luck would have it, right after the movie was over, we flipped it to TSN and we were able to get our second dose of poker for the night. My desire to learn the game was solidified. I didn’t miss a single episode for the rest of the summer. (Well. almost the entire summer. I went to Korea for 3 weeks where I had my first real money poker experience. Talk of that to come in my next journal entry.)
Right away, we started playing and we couldn‘t get enough. It was strictly three handed consisting of myself, my brother, and my cousin but, in this game, was where I believe I learned a lot of the fundamentals. The games became really competitive and the three of us were forced to find ways to improve. We didn’t have poker books (we didn’t know that they existed and probably couldn’t have afforded them anyway if we did) nor did we know anyone else that played hold’em, so we just went to work tweaking our games, hoping that in our experimentation, we’d find a playing style that would get us the win for that night. In this manner, we eventually learned a few important lessons:
1) Some starting hands win more than others.
2) Some draws hit more than others.
3) Bluffing all the time is NOT all that great of an idea.
None of us were really any good but it was a start and this learning experience would prove to be significant during my trip to Korea later on that summer. More to come on that in my next entry.
