Opinion seems unclear as to the exact origin of the cliché ‘lucky at cards, unlucky in love’. Some say it’s a Danish proverb, others argue it stems from England, whilst one or two argue they heard it from the lips of a wistful grandparent after a game of gin rummy and one too many rum ‘n blacks.
Whatever its derivation, today may see a few poker players in Walsall testing its wisdom. The town is hosting the 2nd Leg of the GUKPT and what better way to cement a relationship with a loved one than to stump up the £1,060 buy-in for the tour’s main event?
Starting at 3pm, sad singletons may be hoping the proverb runs true and they find their lives enriched by an estimated £100,000 first prize.
For those who forgot it is Valentine’s Day, maybe the cards will dictate an early exit, giving them a chance to patch up matters by retiring to the casino’s bar and treating their significant other to a bowl of Chicken Dippers. They come with mayonnaise.
