On a Sunday night in half-term, Harry (11) obviously doesn't want to go to bed at a sensible time. The Xbox is banned (too late). The TV is showing something too suitable. Unaccountably, he doesn't want to play pool. So, we settled on heads-up No-Limit Texas Hold'Em (his suggestion).
I was never ahead. He played really well, honestly ! He was perhaps a little bit too passive, but he was patient and sensible and easily out-scored me on poker-face skills. There were no big clashes, but he chipped away and built up a 3-1 lead.
In the last hand, he did catch trips on the river when I was a big favourite on the flop & turn. However, as the big-stack, he's entitled to some luck at that stage.
A re-match may be in order ....
