Yesterday the most incredible thing happened.
Someone accused me of being an assassin.
You couldn't wipe the smile off my face at that compliment.
I was playing poker in person against veterans. People who do this for a living and have decades of experience. For whatever reason, I got excellent cards back to back to back. And I was cleaning up.
Since I do NOT have a poke face, I always wear a mask, a hat and a hood to cover as much of my face as possible. I want to give away zero tells. When I got to the table, I noticed that as usual I was the only woman. Since I am new, most people don't know me or my style of playing. So getting great cards helped in the beginning. Then people were scared of what I could have so they started to fold if I raised. Then the guy next to me turned to me and asked who this assassin is. He wanted to know who was under all that mask, hood and hat that was killing it. I grinned from ear to ear.
I never once revealed my cards. A lot of them weren't sure if I was bluffing. I kept them guessing till the end. I won 2 hands by bluffing cause I was in position but mostly I had great cards.
And this is why I love chess and poker. It is a great boost to the ego.
Y'all may call me an assassin too!
