renton (10:23:41 PM): hey
renton (10:23:44 PM): do you want to hear a story

somedude (10:24:01 PM): always

renton (10:24:27 PM): this story is about a poker player, we'll call him trenton

somedude (10:24:34 PM): k

renton (10:24:55 PM): trent was a mildly successful professional poker player, but was running rough at mid stakes
renton (10:25:08 PM): so he decided to play only small stakes games for a month

somedude (10:25:17 PM): okay

renton (10:25:36 PM): for the first week of that month, he ran terrible, and his confidence was down in the dumps

renton (10:25:49 PM): then something amazing happened
renton (10:26:16 PM): the online poker room in which he played implemented a new regulation that completely ruined the quality of the games trenton was playing in

somedude (10:26:36 PM): let's call it 'wokerstars'?

renton (10:26:40 PM): even so, trenton began to run well
renton (10:26:56 PM): and before long had pulled out of his downswing, and was feeling confident in his game again
renton (10:26:57 PM): [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
renton (10:27:08 PM): however, the games got worse
renton (10:27:41 PM): they got worse to the point, that trent, feeling confident, decided to play higher games, which actually were much softer than the lower stakes games he'd been playing at
renton (10:28:09 PM): then, trenton lost 4k in 2k hands, playing extremely well
renton (10:28:11 PM): the end
renton (10:28:12 PM): fin

somedude (10:28:32 PM): a tragic comedy of shakespearean proportion
