Now if anyone doubts this, my advice is to try it yourselves and be prepared to be surprised! I know I was! Especially the absense of the big hands that I thought were more frequent here than they are.

Then again, maybe it is my lack of Skill and my dependence upon Luck that prevents me from throwing the right cards away in order to get a big hand. That may explain MY lack of the big hands but surely my Opponents know how to play this game! I know this was pointed out to me by an opponent here who shall remain nameless!

  : For chits and giggles, wont of something better to do, sheer boredom and my curiousity I did a bit of tracking of points scored per hand on this site once more. Tracking 500 hands (250 of mine and 250 of my Opponents) here are the point totals scored. I know this is a short study but with the lack of players and games played, it was the best I could do on such short notice!
