Probably silly replying at this late date, but I’m going to do it anyway: Texas Holdem against strangers would be a much more compelling demonstration than RPS with your wife, and lucrative, too, if your powers are real. Surface thoughts should be sufficient to tell you when people are bluffing and when they genuinely have a strong hand, even if they don’t tell you exactly what cards they hold. Better yet, they should tell you when your opponents are confident enough to call your bluff, and when they’re not. That would give you a devastating advantage in the game. So I won’t hold my breath for your lottery wins, but if you genuinely have the abilities you describe I would expect to hear about your World Series of Poker bracelets.
