Poker Night!

Today at work was code complete. With all my stuff checked in, I spent the day just hanging out. Not doing anything else really. We had lunch on the company. It was pizza. We also played some Uno Attack at lunch. After lunch I spent more time just hanging out until around three. I went to get my hair cut. Then I went back and spent another hour or so at work before I finally went home.

There were plans to play some poker tonight. It was the monthly game down in my brothers’ neighborhood. I hung around the house for most of the evening, however. I decided to head down around nine o’clock pm.

When I got there I sat at a table with a lot of people I have never played with before. There was a ten-six-seven in many ways, but it was a rugged ten-six-seven. Early on I did not know their style of play, but from experience the people down there are loose. But until I knew these people I thought I would play conservative until I knew for sure. After about twenty minutes I knew these guys were pretty loose as well, so I started to play my game.

I kept winning and doing better. Soon I was exchanging twenties for chips. Then I changed a C-note. Once I was able to do that I knew I was doing well. Jon showed up around ten and the people at my table played a tournament. Jon ended up winning it. I got fourth place. Just out of the money. I left with one-hundred-forty-four bucks on the night though, so I am pretty happy how it all went for me.
