Poker Madness

Around 7:00 PM Chris and I drove out to the burbs, and entered in a poker tournament with some of Ben’s friends from church. $10 buy-in, and I walked into the thing fairly cocky, thinking I’d do pretty well.

Fast forward ninety minutes, and I get knocked out about halfway. Chris holds on a bit longer, but the two of us find ourselves chipless and watching some of the tables.

It’s 10:30PM and, since I’m travelling tomorrow morning, I decide I want to head back home. En route, Chris asks if I’m interested in another game. Next thing you know, I’m over at his place, playing a small $3 game with Will, Eric and Melanie. After winning that game… another game is proposed, and I decide what the hell. I stick around for my third game of Texas Holdem, and end up finishing second to Chris.

All told, by the time I leave for home it’s 2:00 AM and I’ve been playing poker for about 7 hours. I think I might have broken even tonight Maybe.
