There’s a cartoon you might have seen: two vultures are sitting on a tree in a desert and one says to the other, ‘Patience my ass, I’m gonna kill something.’ If your attitude toward no-limit Hold’em is ‘patience my ass,’ then I’ve got just the game for you. It’s called short-handed no-limit Hold’em, and not only does it let you play a ton of hands and see a ton of flops, you’re actually playing incorrectly – disastrously incorrectly, in fact – if you don’t. So if you’re an action junkie like I am, then hop aboard the short-handed Hold’em express as we investigate a variant of poker where patience, God bless it, is the kiss of death.
