Day 573 of 365 More.

I remember when I used to win poker games. Damn, those were the good old days.

Actually, I didn’t play badly tonight. For a while I just wasn’t getting the cards. I ended up short stacked and then I had K♣-J♣ with a 4♣-2♣-6♠ flop. I decided it was time to make my move. All-in was risky, sure. But if it paid off, I’d be in really good shape.

Everyone folded but one person. It took him forever to decide. But eventually he calls, thinking I had a pair and he’d have to make the flush.

My flush. Yep. The only thing I was worried about. A flush with an Ace. Which of course he got on the turn, which completed my flush.

To add insult to injury, his was a straight flush. You know, just so it would sting a little more.

*sigh* I hate life.

    I’m not sure where I was when everyone was rounded up to learn how to play poker.

    Or solitaire.

    Or blackjack.

    I’m with shockingbird – I never learned to play – darnit!! Is it too late to learn?

    Now – Solitaire – that’s another subject – I am EXCELLENT at solitaire….but that doesn’t tend to win you too much money…..unless you have the split personality thing…….

    better luck next time, Mav!!

    @pinkgypsysoul: what helped me a lot was watching it on TV and playing the video games a lot
