Default Re: SNG Starting Hand Question

I see your point, Mr. TynKyn...I'd have no information on anyone yet; playing AJ would leave me with top pair and a mid-level kicker.

This is what I like about this forum...makes novices like me think before I act....probably would have to let it go, huh? I retract my play of AJ UTG...lol

The referrence to the falling on a sword is taken from Japanese culture in the day of the Samuri...If you dishonored yourself in some way, it was expected that the Samuri warrior would commit Hari-Kari...(suicide). If this happened to a Samuri, he would pick his best sword with which he would use to kill himself, often he would use the same sword he would slay his enemies with. Therefore, he would choose his sword wisely, lest it be the one he would have to use on himself.
