Waiting on a friend

"Waiting on a Friend" is one of my favorite Rolling Stones songs. I find it applicable to poker, one of my favorite games. A good hand is the friend all poker players wait on.

This is an excerpt from my January 27, 2021 post. Just as you must wait for good hands during a poker session, you must also wait for good sessions. Waiting is fractal in nature. The good news is, good sessions occur with greater frequency than good hands occur in any particular session. Right now, I'm waiting for another monster session, where I make a profit in the scores of millions. I can feel it coming :-)
