Former high school jerk yearns to make amends

By Amy Dickinson, Tribune Content Agency on

Dear Amy: Your advice to "Dealt a Bad Hand" (that he find a new poker game to join) was like being dealt a two/seven off-suit -- a hand that's hard to win. Finding a new game is not so easy.

Although the age range in my game is 35 to 75, we often act like 14-year-olds; joking around, teasing each other, and having fun.

The reasons for "not permitting a split pot" are endless. But to take it so personally is possibly a misinterpretation.

-- A Poker Player

 

Dear Player: I'm giving you my chips. Thank you.
