Anderson Wins Two; Schulman a Bad Darts Player

Level 9

Davin Anderson: XxXx/6A5
Max Kruse: XxXx/6K4 - folded on fifth street

"Is there a sport that you wouldn't bet to beat me in," Tim Frazin asked Nick Schulman.

"Darts. I spray it all over the place," Schulman replied.

"You can't be a good pool player and be bad at darts," Frazin added.

"Know how you become a good pool player? Grow up playing pool," Schulman said.

"I grew up playing pool and I'm terrible," Frazin said.

While Schulman and Frazin were debating their relative proficiency at various sports, Max Kruse had completed and Davin Anderson called.

"Fair fight," Kruse said as both players were showing a six. Anderson then bet on fourth street and Kruse called. Anderson bet again on fifth and Kruse folded this time.

"What about skee ball?" Craig Chait asked Schulman.

"I've run hot at skee ball," Schulman replied.

"He won a lot of tickets once. There's a picture somewhere," Frazin added.

Davin Anderson: XxXx/668
Craig Chait: XxXx/5JK - folded on fifth street
Max Kruse: XxXx/2J - folded on fourth street

Anderson then completed and Chait and Kruse called. Anderson bet on fourth and only Chait called.

Anderson put out another bet on fifth. "We're going in the opposite directions here," Chait said as he tossed his chips over to Anderson and sent his cards into the muck.
