Item: Supreme x Bicycle playing cards
Description: I'm a poker player. If you've ever met me, chances are you've heard me talk about some of my biggest wins, as well as biggest losses. I may as well divulge one instance that comes to mind: the board showed two 5's (club and heart) and a 7 (heart) as the flop. Opposing player bets into it a substantial amount more than the pot. I follow, a third 5 (spade) reveals as 4th street. He checks, I check. The river shows a king of hearts. At this point, my opponent bets another substantial bet, to which I raise double of his, he then thinks hard and again, bets on top of my raise. I pause, think and ponder and scan him for any signs of a tell; perhaps he had pocket kings? 2 hearts to make a flush? Or nothing and is simply trying to buy me out? Nevertheless, after a steady 4 or so minutes of my mind racing and dancing around the fact that he could possibly have a monster hand, I push all-in. He follows suit and reveals a Queen and Ace of hearts, making an Ace high flush. I turn over my Jack of spades and 5 of diamonds.
The biggest thrill of the game must be the mind tricks you play on your opponent. Sure the game is a lot of skill, but my biggest gripe is that the game still holds true to the possibility of luck. Of course the instance above is not an example of such, of all my wins I feel the lessons learned are mostly from the losses. Hopefully these Supreme collaboration playing cards, a symbol of the money I could be losing and ultimately cutting down my addiction to my wants, will remind me of what I should and shouldn't be doing concerning the game of poker.
