Poker and Palindromes
ConferencesPublished July 28, 2009 at 1:46 pm 1 CommentI am about to expose you to my inner geek/mensa nerd side – I love palindromes – words like tattarrattat, Anna, Racecar, Madam, Wow – well, they just intrigue me. No matter how you read it – you get the same result – same outcome – same word. (ERE is another example of a palindrome which is why this is relevant). Poker on the other hand is the complete opposite – while it is all about reading someone – the reading is not so easy – it’s a challenge to know when someone you just met is bluffing or not…its more like the sister of a Palindrome – A Semordnilap which does the same thing – but read backwards creates an entirely new word (like -stressed / desserts or god / dog) but that is just getting off topic.

So – when I got offered a chance to help out and sponsor this years ERE Poker Classic – how could I say no? We have added a page onto the hrtechnologyblog.com home page to function as the ‘official’ site for this year’s game and should have all the details you desire as well as a way to RSVP. The game this year is open to everyone at all skill levels and the buy in is low – so lets get all of the attendee’s playing poker Wednesday night – It all goes for a great cause!
Thanks to all of the sponsors (will be posted on the site soon) as well as the real team doing all the work to put this together!



If you missed it a Palindromes sister Semordnilap is a senordnilap in itself…
