No Bluff: Looser Wins !

A funny thing happened after we didn't win anything at the Olympics. A Luxembourg poker player, code-named "Looser01112" won the Wednesday tournament of Titanpoker, I suppose an online gambling outfit?

Imagine, sitting alone in front of a screen for 8 hours, still in pyjamas, smoking maybe, low self-esteem and calling yourself "loser", actually misspelled with double O's to make matters worse.

But, bravo for the win, mostly if you are a member of the Luxembourg Government trying to refill the Treasury. Or to prop up Cargolux or Luxair. But hey, don't lose it all now!
