Subject: The Ten Things I Hate About Three-Card Man or Mouse Gotta Win Three Plus One Blind Match the Pot
For an explanation of this game, click here.
10) Okay, who didn't ante?
9) Just barely not being able to get in 3 rounds per deck when playing 6-handed.
8) People saying, "I *hate* this game. I'm in blind."
7) It's 3am. You gotta work in the morning. Another carryover pot.
6) Every image was so overwrought, so rote, so designed to push a specific button with the viewer that I came away feeling that I had spent two hours trapped in that scene in Clockwork Orange with the glorious 9th playing. (Oh wait, that's what I hated about the movie, "A Time to Kill." Nevermind.)
6a) Pair of johnnies? No good!
5) Idiots who don't properly defend against (literally) blind steals, thereby costing everyone else equity.
4) 4 high.
3) It's not a math game. It's a people game.
2) Slowrolled by a blind hand.
1) The three-white-chip syndrome.
