Whenever something distracts me or makes me feel sad I just pour myself into something, like comics, books or whatever.

In Venezuela we used to play a card-game called “Truco”(Trick in english).

We play it 2 vs 2, each person got 3 cards, the one who wins 2/3 hands, wins the game.

There is one combination “Receta” (Recipe) that is when you have “Perico”(Beats everything) and “Perica”(beats everything except Perico), basically when you get this, you already won…unless somebody tricks you, somebody as me =).

When you have Receta is kind of hard to make the other team bet something, you can’t really hide such a good hand.

I used a difficult trick to beat it. I played 1st and 2nd hand at the same time(1st hand doesn’t really follow any order and you can play it without worrying about being invalid), this basically makes the second card invalid while the opponent thinks that the second card is the 1st they simply throw the lowest card that can beat that.So the oponent thinks they won the 1st when it was actually you, they play the second hand(The first to play is the one who won the 1st one and it moves on to the right)  making it all invalid until you.Before I play I bet everything I can (Because I already know I won) and they of course accept because they have an unbeatable hand!So I throw my card and made them aware of their mistake(They didn’t check my 1st card).

That was by far my best play ever.
