Poker

So last night was the big game. Supposed to be 7 players, 3 flaked.

$40 on the line and I come out strong. I get Joe to tilt and he almost drops. Steve and Gonzolo have it out themselves and the three end up evened out at the bottom. Then I hit the 10. Something clicked and I thought a 10 high could take the pot. It was downhill from there. Chasing straights and flushes like a dog chases tail. Joe drops and I'm soon to follow. Somehow everything ended up in Steve's hands and I'm $10 the poorer, which is saying a lot when you're this poor.

I had a good run at the start, so I'm happy about that. I played the hands as they came and kept my bets low enough to force everyone on edge. Once that infamous 10 hand came, I just couldn't keep it together. Gonzolo kept giving me these "I'm gonna fuck you up kid" looks every time I got a decent hand, and threw my entire game off. Or maybe I tilted, I'm not sure. It was late. Good fun, though. I recommend a healthy nite of gambling to everyone.
