The poker game I played this evening was the first time I've played with a partner where things were discussed before hand as to what we would do.Before tonight's game of hold'em I practiced and trained with a buddy that I've decided to take on as a partner. When we were finally able to get on the same table together which happened to be the final table is when the real game started, a little hole card game. I only had a few hours to teach him the method that I've come up with and while we did have some success with this type of play by finishing 3rd and 2nd respectively, with the odds in our favor we "could" have finished 3rd and 1st respectively if she didn't hit a miraculous out against my partner on the river
, we were both trying to chop that woman's legs out being the chip leader.
There is still a lot of work that needs to be done, in particular with my partner, but I realize I need the work to so that we play with a greater edge as a team. My partner that I trained for several hours today and played with is now hooked, and it's the only game he wants to play.
I cannot blame him. There may be something to this after all under the right circumstances. While this was not conducted in the casino, it was conducted in casino like conditions and served as an excellent training aide for a small team looking to hone their skills before the big test. The best part about all of this is, is when I convinced my partner that we will get the needed practice working as a team by doing this against people he considers to be friends, buddies, and pals.
