Many of us would like it if the hand life dealt us looked like the one above. However, that isn't usually the case. Yeah, some people have that hand dealt to them & some figure out ways to get to that point. For most of us though, Our hands look more like this.
What the hell are you supposed to do with that? When's the last time a pair of deuces won a hand? Well, you have options:
- Hope you're not playing Five Card Stud.
- Cash out & cut your losses before they get any worse.
- Bluff like hell.
People with hands like this learn to adjust & to adapt to the situation at hand. These people have two choices, take life as it's thrown at them or make their own luck. The one's who get the super royal flush hand don't have to adapt or change. Therefore, they have little call to ever learn anything new. Why should they adapt when the have the perfect hand? They are counting on nothing ever changing & that is rarely the case. What will they do if & when they meet another person holding the same hand in a different suit?
My roomie plays The Sims. She's not as much of a junkie about it as she used to be & that is entirely the game designer's fault. Maxis, the developer of the game dropped the ball on the latest edition of The Sims. They led people to believe that there would be more development with the game than there has been. Gamers respond to this type of situation in many ways they might; stop playing the game, refuse to buy any more product from the developer, download custom made content or take the matter into their own hands.
My roomie opted to play less & not purchase any further content. However, yesterday she found that another player had taken the matter into her own hands. One of the add-ons to this version was Sims: World Adventures. This introduced three distinct lands to the game. These brought in new skills & activities. The idea was that Maxis would continue to develop new worlds. They did it once with a piratey one & charged an unrealistic amount. This world wasn't well received & they haven't bothered to produce anymore.
The player in question on the hand did continue development. She developed an entire world based on a moon base. She not only developed it, she did so in a more fully rendered & flushed out manner than any of the other preceding worlds. Guess what, she put it online & it was free. Add to that, she wasn't the only one. There are other player developed worlds out there for my roomie to explore via Sims. Great, the addiction is back.
The point is no matter how crappy a hand you've been dealt, if you try, you can make it work for you.
Have a good day
