Two-player no-limit Hold'em has 10 to 161st power (1 followed by 161 zeroes) situations, or information sets, that a player may face —vastly more than all of the atoms in the universe. You can purchase software to process these situations for a couple hundred bucks.

Here at a Fortune 500 company with 80,000 employees, you have to calculate your pay with paper and pencil, repeatedly correct it over the telephone after waiting on hold for 45 minutes, then validate in four different places that you were paid correctly OR report it to your self-funded union reps so THEY can do the same thing you tried to do.

Every time you get screwed by the company (I average four times a year for over $3K in pay errors), remember that it’s only because your employer chooses to let the errors continue.
