I spent some of the day calling all of the recruits to see if they would be coming to our hose testing tonight. I did not get a hold of most of them, but I left messages. Due to my calling around several people showed up. It was nice to have all the bodies there to help the process.<\/p>\n
We only had two guys show up to the first hose testing, so I made a big deal about it in front of the other guys. I mentioned when everyone else was listening to it did not go unnoticed that they were the only two to show up.<\/p>\n
This time around we had all but one guy show up. We tore through testing at a pretty good clip. We got the hose reloaded on the truck and were done with everything in about three hours. After it was done I thanked all the guys who showed up. I told them their help was appreciated.<\/p>\n
Once that was done I went to Mike’s for more poker. Tonight we played until three o’clock in the morning. It was looking bad for me as I was not getting my hands. We actually played some seven-card stud followed by Omaha. It was not until Omaha that I started to make my comeback. I ended up leaving the night winning another thirty bucks or so. Most of it on one hand.<\/p>\n
I had garbage. My best cards were the nine and queen. A nine and queen were on the board. I announced to the room that I was on a huge draw. That I had nothing unless the right card hit. Someone had gone all-in. I called it, then Mike raised five bucks. I called that. Then the turn was a nine. I announced I got my card. Then I sat back in my seat and called all-in. It was about twenty-one bucks. Brian called me. Mike folded. The river did not help Brian and I ended up winning the whole pot, which is what gave me the winnings on the night.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
