IQ: Are you a Texas Hold-'em player known for wearing a cowboy hat and winning on a 10-2?
Congrats Spoons!
I am Doyle Brunson!
Woo-hoo! Thanks, etv!
I’ll be out for the next little while, but we’ll start the next round when I get back. (Besides, I need to think of somebody.)
Congrats, Spoons.
Never heard of Brunson. Has anyone else?
My IQs:
Were once you a quirky, nonmusical comedic sidekick to a late-night talkshow host? - Larry “Bud” Mehlman, for David Letterman.
Were you, in the past six years, rumored to be having an affair with a Canadian Member of Parliament? - Bill Clinton, according to Game Change.
Did a helpful little bird tell you where to shoot? - Bard the Bowman, in The Hobbit.
I’ve never heard of him, but watching poker games sounds even more boring than watching baseball or golf…
For a while, I was playing Texas Hold-'em in a local league. It was a friendly “just for fun” league and no money was at stake, though the evening’s winner got a $25 gift certificate at the pub where we played. It covered the evening’s tab and tip.
At any rate, if you were dealt a 10-2, your hand was called a “Doyle Brunson.” Why? Because at some point, as I learned from other players, Doyle Brunson managed to bluff that hand, which isn’t that great, into a big win. I’ve subsequently seen him play on TV (TV poker can be interesting to watch, I find), and he does wear a big cowboy hat when he plays.
And it looks like we’re on to A.
