The Cock
October 17, 2007
Yes, saving possibly the best (well, most ludicrous anyway) for last,
we have The Peacock…
A
magnificent puffed-up prancing cock with his glorious tail feathers on display for
all to see. A hardcore poker pro who’s obviously been there, seen that, and played
poker for more years than you’ve had hot dinners (sonny). He even knows a chip trick.
Yes, ‘a chip trick’. The only problem is that he has to bring his own ’special’ chip
(that his mum probably made for him) in order to do this trick, making it somehow
less special, and also that much more sad. Oh, and he also has a lucky stone that
protected his cards. Seriously, this boy is well kitted out for a £20 freeze-out.
If he could afford to bring a masseuse to the room I’m pretty sure she would be there;
reluctantly squeezing his fat bonce while he plays with his little pebble.
A
friend of mine once raised into such a player’s big blind. The peacock stared
him down and spat: “the next time you raise my big blind I’m going all-in blind”.
I don’t think our roaring, table-slapping, howling laughter and five minute piss-take
was quite the result he’d hoped for, but it certainly made our day. He even stood
up and put his jacket on every time he went all-in with the absolute nuts. Brilliant.
Just brilliant.
“Raise?”

Anyway,
you get the idea. Don’t sit at home enjoying poker, get out and enjoy people. Some
of them are quite decent folk, and some of them are F***ing hilarious. Happy hunting.
