We used to listen to music all day together. We used to watch TV together. We even used to hang out in bed together.
I miss waking up, grabbing a bite to eat and be playing all in a matter of minutes.
I miss waking up after a previous day’s loss and saying “this is the day I win it back” or “today is the day I play perfect poker.”
I miss the sound of cards being dealt or a pot being pushed my way. I even miss the alert sound signifying “It’s decision time somewhere!”
I miss staying up til 4am grinding away.
I miss setting my own hours.
I miss learning a new reg.
I miss learning a new game.
I miss setting monthly poker goals.
I miss getting even.
I miss discussing poker hands with friends or thinking deeply about a hand or a game long after it’s been played.
I miss getting all in and knowing this will be the last hand I play for the day–win or lose.
I miss inducing a bluff.
I miss making a big bluff.
I miss getting dealt one card, and hoping I’m dealt another one of the same rank or suit.
I miss playing headsup.
I miss making a hero call and being right.
I miss thinking the possibilities are endless.
I miss you online poker. I wish I knew when we’d meet again.
And we miss you Guile!
haha i like it
