Poker Face

I've never played Texas Hold'em poker before at the tables in the casino. I've played with my friends in the barracks and stuff like that when I was in Japan. However, I've never had the courage to sit down at a table in a casino and play. So I was in down south this weekend at a buddies house to spend some time on the road with our bikes. It was only supposed to be a Thursday night thing but I ended up staying till Sun.

I didn't know it but he's big into gambling. So he convinces me to head to the casino with him. It was 3 a.m. too and we were coming back from the bar. So we go in and usually I would be nervous but I was so tired that I didn't really think about it. I set my limit at 100 bucks so if I lost in in 20 minutes then oh well. I didn't know how I even did it but I end up taking a 200 plus pot within a few minutes of playing. Most of the money belonged to the guy sitting next to me so he gets all huff puffy. My friend tells him to settle down and he wasn't havin it and starts wining to the dealer about how the hand shouldn't count. The guy turns out to be some Army Ranger...whoo hoo.. So my friend and I let him in on the fact that he was starting crap with 2 Marines. Yeah....he didn't stick around very long at all.

My buddy ends up talking to these 2 girls at another table and invites them over to the house for some poker. 2 things about these chicks. First of all...they turned out to be lesbians. Second of all they also turned out to be damn near professional poker players. My buddy is really good himself by the way. By the end of the night I ended up taking everyones money and by the end of the weekend I was up 500 bucks for a couple hours work. Not bad for a rooky and his first time eh..
