Another round-up from the World Series of Poker including Brian Hastings coming out of retirement to win his fourth bracelet, a man from China leaving behind his little one so he could win the Little One, and a man called Polk wins a sliver of gold.
Retire – Leave one’s job and cease to work, typically on reaching the normal age for leaving service.
Of course, this wiki definition of retirement doesn’t apply to poker players. Doyle Brunson is 187 years old and still manages to turn a profit. Christ, I can’t even remember my daughter’s name half of the time, and the old Brunson Burner is calculating double and triple barrel merge whatsits like an 18-year-old.
But I do think it’s time for a company like SolveForWhy to create a course on the meaning of the word ‘retirement’ because I don’t think poker players get it.
