Your Nemesis

[Ondie J]

I've just decided that my Nemesis is Dave.

On several occasions we've both had a hand, I've been well in front and he just absolutely oblitterates me. Yup. Dave is now my nemesis.

My Nemeses;

- Johnson McJohnson
- Chester Fitzpatricksonson
- Craven Moorehead
- Iona Frisbee
- Tad Pohl

Do you have a Nemesis at the poker table and does it affect your betting patterns when they are involved in a hand? How do you get past the advantage they have over you?

Last night when playing, everytime that I ended up in a pot with another player he would suck out and I would lose a heap of chips. After this happening all night I started avoiding him and he had a huge advantage over me. He isn't even a good player because he would then distribute his winnings amongst the other players until his next suckout.

So can you fight luck or do you ride it out til some-one else knocks them out?

Was it the donkey on Sunday nite at Roulettes????????????

Ooooh.... you know, I did actually - a quick one through Google.

Next time I'll make sure not to place my trust in "the Internet" so heavily.

If you can't trust "the internet" who can you trust

You could trust your education.
That's what I did

I'm just thinking out loud here but considering:
"Nemesis" was originally a proper name, and I have no reason to believe it was a matter of a root "nemes" plus an inflected ending "is".
So therefore shouldn't the plural be nemesii?

I love the English language so many rules to flaunt! Or just plain ignore.
