Poker Grump: One of these things is just like the other

I think this is the first time I've been dealt identical cards on two tables at once.

[FYI, RSS subscribers don't know that you've deleted posts; an edit may make more sense in some cases. I, for one, got a chuckle out of your momentary lapse. There's a famous "magic" trick based on a similar principle.]; 10:26 AM
Rakewell said...: I've been outed. A couple of weeks ago I did a similar post. As I always do, I looked it over one last time after posting it, and realized, with horror, that the cards were not identical. One was the Jh-2s, the other was Js-2h. They were in different orders, which is what fooled my eye. The post was up for less than a minute before I deleted it, and I thought I had removed it before anybody saw. Guess not.; 11:34 AM
Rakewell said...: Richard: Yes, it should have happened before, and likely has, but I've never noticed it before.; 11:36 AM
