ive had a recurring dream for the past 5 days.
its me in the Horseshoe Casino in Vegas.
sitting at the final table of the WSOP (world series of poker).
to my left Doyle Brunson, Scotty Ngyuen, and Daniel Negranu.
to my right Phil Laak, Phil Ivey, Antonio Esfadiari.
and 1 by 1.
i take them each out.
and it comes down to the final 3.
Doyle Brunson, Phil Laak, and Me.
after about 10 minutes, i take Laak out.
and then im heads up with the legend. Doyle Brunson.
and i sit there. smiling. content that im going heads up with the man who wrote the book on poker basically.
i look down at my hand, and its the "Doyle hand". suited. 10 and 2 of hearts.
he made the hand famous by winning the WSOP with the hand 3 times.
i push all in. i have him covered by 10,000.
and he calls.
and the flop comes out, 10 - 10 - 2.
he shows me pocket 7's. nothing can help him at this point.
and he just smiles. tips his cowboy hat, shakes my hand. and walks away.
and i sit there.
and just stare at the Million Dollars i just won. i stare at the gold championship bracelet.
and then i wake up.
this dream is confusing the hell out of me.
