Entropy. Everything fades. You're fading right now.

That's okay.

In Poker, it's good to fade. Fade suckouts. Fade variance. Fade going bust. Hell, fade cancer. Fade everything.

Fade. It's such a versatile verb. We poker players, we obnoxious few, have a tendency to spew our erudite terminology all over everyone and everything, related or not.

"Your girlfriend left you right after you spent 1k for her birthday? What a beat!"

Beat. Fish. Donk. Spewtard.

But "fade" has always been my favorite. I'm going to use it every chance I get.

Good. Now that we understand each other...
