Fish story

Mike McDermott: Listen, here's the thing. If you can't spot the sucker in the first half hour at the table, then you ARE the sucker.

Mike McDermott, played by Matt Damon, is the protagonist of the excellent poker movie "Rounders". Last night, I couldn't spot the sucker in the first half hour, and was half convinced it was me. The thing was, I was playing well; I even had a small profit. Despite that, I was one of the short stacks. I made the following remark in the chat box:

I'm thinking I might be the fish at this table :-)

(note: fish is poker slang for a weak player who gets eaten by the sharks at the table.) Here's the reply I got from one of my opponents:

lol   join the club

This made me realize that sometimes, very rarely, there are no fish at the table. In such cases, it's every shark for himself :-) I ended up having a banner session, quadrupling my starting stack. I ended my night shortly after winning a pot worth $85,246 with a queen high straight.
