Po and Mo

Poker is all about Po and Mo. Position and Momentum. It's hard to win without a liberal dose of both. Last night, I had a severe shortage of Po at a critical time. Just to be clear, no player has any control over Po in a tournament. Players are moved to other tables frequently, completely at the discretion of the software. Last night, in one such maneuver, I was moved to a seat at another table immediately to the right of the largest stack at that table, the worst seat to inhabit. He had position on me five out of the six hands of each orbit. He could put my tournament life at risk virtually any time, and frequently did. I did a lot of folding, but finally got so fed up I called one of his raises. You can guess how that turned out :-)
