St. Patrick's Day

What if you're on a 52-48 draw? What should you do? It depends on the situation, of course -- and what if you're still confused -- what if you've taken everything into account about the chip stacks, the aggression levels, the grins, eyebats, twitches, the stitches in the upholstery holding you above ground, the kings and aces, the faces around the table, the odds, the drawing odds, the pros at odds with the cons, the window reflection, the voice inflection-- what if you still can't decide?
What if you still can't choose a move -- no matter how hard you think about it?
Rob's principle #97: In any confrontation, you should always take into account your opponent's knowledge of British history.
I have a vintage bright orange leisure suit that I don't wear much. Whenever I wonder if this guy or that guy knows his British history (which is surprisingly often), it's a good idea to wear it -- and the best time to wear it is on St. Patrick's Day.
Poker at my place -- it was uneventful. Green beer and orange rayon don't mix.
Five ripe rows of green veggies grow in my garden a quarter mile west -- my call was stressed hours ago, let's go, lepresschan, take flight -- many wise bites forever obey tasty decrees my planted things make for fruitful lives and wisdom's sake-- come restore brawn -- remake presence in the glowing, growing herbs -- sing galic and run west -- loudly, quickly -- respond with me -- our dry lives can too be fun when we chase St Patrick's setting sun.
