My Royal Flush

I was flipping through a poker book  (How to Win the World Series of Poker, thanks Jazzmah) and in the first few pages, the dedication of the author said: "For Jeannine, my very own royal flush" For a poker player wannabe like me, I found it soooo sweet and at the same time, witty! Witty + Sweet =  "I get so weak in the knees I can hardly sleep" HAHAHA. LULZ LULZ LULZ. 

Well, to the poker illiterate (I judge you, along with people who don't know how to play chess hahahaha im kidding), let me talk about the royal flush for a bit. The royal flush is the absolute best hand in Texas Hold'em poker. 10-J-Q-K-A of the same suit! The possibility of getting such a hand in poker is 1 in 700,000. 1 in 700,00!!!! Hmmm, imagine taking a test, answering all C's, then getting perfect!!!! Well, point is, it's not impossibe, but it's really really really really, to the moon and back, hard. So, to be called someone's "very own royal flush" is to me, one of the best compliments ever. But then, what would you prefer? To find your "very own royal flush" or to be a "royal flush" to someone? Something to shoktong about. :)) It's not that hard a question, really.

Come to think of it, all of us are in search of our royal flushes in life. Some are even fortunate enough to have found theirs already! I guess we each have our own definitions and ideas of what our royal flush/es are. And I believe that someday, with a bit of luck, or a lot of luck for that matter, we'll all find our own royal flushes (is finding the same as getting?)! As long as we do our part, prepare for the many opportunities that will come along the way ("opportunity + preparation = luck" - Kriselle Hahahaha) , that time will come! ROYAL FLUSHES ON THE FLOP! SHIP IT!!!!
