Poker Update- and it was a good one!

Ah the conversation that swirls around our poker games...I'm telling ya- if I could record audio- nobody would ever show up..the name calling, the "what's chicago again?", the slurrin of the words after a few too many cosmo's by one player who 'had a stressful week both physically and emotionally'...ok so next time...check your drama at the door and be able to hold a few not-even-strong-cosmo's! I hope you didn't cancel on your breakfast date today or somebody should stun-gun you!

So back to the players: Guess-who-forgot-to-ante-up? , Sweeten-the-pot, But-I-haven't-won-yet and Big-Fish who finally admitted he didn't like this name so I shall now call him Folds-a-lot. It was going to be Folds-a-lot-so-we-can-never-win-his-money but that was just too damn long! Or maybe even I'm-all-in but that names already taken...so Folds-a-lot it is! And of course ME who's name is You-should-be-a-dealer but I should change it too Kick-ass-poker-player, but I'm not that vain. Hey! No stiffling the laughter...I can hear you!

Some highlights of the game- Yes, I will admit I finally folded a hand. Two in fact...and yes I wrote it on the calander. For those of you who aren't regular players, I'm known for not folding and never letting 'check' go by when I know I have a good chance of winning- that's just taking money from my hands!
We had Sweeten-the-pot 'draw' the 'low hearts' on the wooden table top with her fingertip and then wonder why she couldn't remember what the chicago was..and that was during the first cosmo.
But-I-haven't-won-yet won another HUGE pot. The final round of betting was $400 a piece not to mention the couple hundred on the table from the previous rounds.
Folds-a-lot went 'all in' a few times but each time split the pot- once with Sweeten-the-pot and he graciously gave her more than she actually earned...awww...wasn't that nice? Then he demanded his $58 back and by that time Sweeten-the-pot was over protective with her chips and we all had to convince her that it was OK. That's when But-I-haven't-won-yet had to call in mother hen for a "tell your kids to behave" and Sweeten-the-pot got told that she was obnoxious! That was totally my highlight of the night! Ahhh...I can still hear it now..
And finally the biggest hightlight of my night was when I layed down a sweet $1000 (yes you counted the zeros correctly- thousand) dollar bet and not only did I kick Sweeten-the-pot's ass she didn't have enough to put in to match my bet. Applause and angels playing their harps were heard- then she got all grabby and stole Guess-who-forgot-to-ante-up?'s chips and played with them.

All in all another rousing night of poker was had. I say again, standing reservation Friday's at my place 7pm. And thanks guys for coming out again :)
