Waiting for a wave

I've said what I'm about to say before. I've even said "I've said what I'm about to say before" before. The thing is, when you find a good metaphor, you stick with it! Waiting for a good hand in poker is like waiting for a good wave in surfing. You have to be patient, but you also have to recognize when it's coming and get up on your board as it arrives. My last hand of Saturday night's session, I was dealt Jc 6c 2c, then 9c. I bet like the flush was going to hit, and it did, on the very next street. Luckily for me, two or three of my opponents had strong enough hands to keep on betting until showdown. I ended up winning a pot worth $1,466.

delta: $720
balance: $1,038,344
