A Conversation at a Poker Game

Michael and Anthony are very good friends and enjoy their Friday night no-limit Texas Hold’em poker game each week.  Michael plays with a tight, aggressive style meaning he plays only the best hands and understands the math behind the game.  On the other hand, Anthony tends to be fairly loose in the hands he plays and the bets he calls; meaning that he plays weak starting hands and makes mathematically incorrect plays.

While Michael wins on most nights, Anthony typically loses most nights but he does have that occasional good night when he plays incorrectly but gets lucky.  That’s what keeps Anthony coming back for more even though he is a big loser for the year.

The cards are dealt.
