(Note: if you want a reference to poker lingo, click here.) Day 1 Things are looking up for me in poker. I played in a multi-day tournament at the Wynn on Monday. I'd been running badly most of the day. Late in the day, I finally got pocket As. One short stack shoved. I shoved. And a very big stack shoved. That made me a bit nervous. Having pocket As against one player puts me at a big advantage. Against two players, my advantage drops significantly. One player had pocket Ks, the other had pocket Qs, so I was in good shape, but anything can happen. My odds of winning were about 67%, meaning I had a 1 out of 3 chance of losing. You can see in the picture above what did happen. I couldn’t ask for anything better. This gave me one of the largest stacks in the tournament.
