Neutral Poker...


...sounds like a pretty dull game eh?

Unless of course the neutrality were in the face, and then it would be an expert game.

Or perhaps the neutrality could be in the distribution of winnings. It's a conservation of energy thing you see? Energy is never used up; it just changes form. For example, the energy in electricity goes into a bulb and is converted into light energy and heat energy. There is always a constant amount of energy...

In poker, money is not used up, but merely redistributed. Depending on whether you are hosted or host yourself, it may be distributed evenly amongst the players (true conservation!) or a rake may be given to the host (evil conservation!) Either way, money, the energy of poker, is preserved, albeit that the electricity dies out completely in some places...

"...There is always a constant amount of energy..."

Unless you are Einstein who would tell you that Energy can be converted into Mass and vice versa.

Maybe this explains why, when I play poker, as the night goes on and I get less and less energetic, everyone else seems to get more and more of my chips?!

I should think it was a sure fire explanation...
