When I got into poker more seriously about 18 months ago, I found that a lot of new terminology had popped up.
The one that gets me is the SET. I liked TRIPS. I read somewhere there is a difference between a set and trips, something to do with where the pair sits.
The reason it gets me is this; As we sit at a table, patiently waiting for a hand, often we end up getting several playable hands in a row. Sometimes many playable hands in a row. All of you who know surf will know how wave sets work. And the flow of the cards, to me, most resembles wave sets.
Some may argue this is nonsense. Yet why else would we wait out for what seems forever for the good cards to show. Because it has happened, and does happen repeatedly. Note my silly plug here for my flopology theory found elsewhere.
Recently, on the discovery channel, I watched a show about rougue waves. It had to do with wave sets and chaos theory. Very interesting. Seems that even with predictable wave sets of any frequency or amplitude, a rogue wave can develop, seeming for no reason.
Once long ago, when Annette Funicelo might actually show up, I would sit on my board waiting for the next set.
Who could have known????
