'If You Win One Penny, You're in the Top 2 Percent of Bettors'

From Plato to Charles Barkley, great minds have warned about the destructive power of gambling. The way societies have usually managed the vice is to cordon it off. It's legal, but contained to disreputable places, such as red-light districts, riverboats, and Nevada. This was true in much of the United States until 2018, when a Supreme Court ruling opened the door to legalized sports betting nationwide.

For this particular lotto, six numbers ranging in value from 1 to 55 were randomly selected, and the 433 winners all matched. Even more bizarre, when arranged in ascending order, the winning numbers were: 9, 18, 27, 36, 45 and 54. In other words, the winning numbers were multiples of 9 (9 1, 9 2, 9 3, etcetera).

Power and distance isn't required. Instead, what matters is who can create chances with wedges and short irons, and actually convert when scoring is easy.

This hand begins with the players seeing a highly coordinated flop for a four-bet, and the coordinated texture there heavily favors the out-of-position player's range. The in-position player who four-bet should be concentrated primarily around aces, although that becomes less true once stacks get past 200 big blinds, and playability becomes more and more important.
