I have to face it. I am a beginner poker player. I just learned to play the game a few months ago when South Florida was hit by four devastating hurricanes in a row. Without lights, A.C. (unimaginable during the summer here), refrigeration, nor passable roads (most blocked by trees and debris), I spent many long hours being taught poker (by my son who had gotten swept into the craze.) We played cards by candlelight into the wee hours while sipping some wine (our only luxury) with chips and canned tuna.
