Some time around 8 or 9, people gather at Flat 7 to play a game of Hold 'Em.
The last two weeks I've been getting in late and not feeling like buying in. So I'll walk in and deal the games. (Random fact about me: Used to want to be a poker dealer in Vegas. Caesar's Palace to be specific.) This week I decided to play.
Each week the group of players has been growing. The first week had probably 7 or 8 people. Last week was about 10. And this week there were 13. We had to start with two tables and then join them together when there were only 7 people left. At my table was Mattie (from Finland), Hoiran (from Korea!), Giorgi (no idea where he's from...), David (from NY), and Lenny.
David definitely was the best player at our table. But he was an honorable player and was more than happy to help out those who were new to the game. David, Hoiran, and I moved onto the bigger table after knocking out the other 3 people at our table.
At the big table there were 7 of us from the original 13. I made it to 4th place before I was knocked out on an all-in. Given I had crappy cards.. I think a 4 and 7 of diamonds. (FLUSH?!) But the guy I was playing against had two Aces... GAH! That was the third or fourth time that night I got totally screwed over (the other times ALL by David).
BUT, I had a lot of fun and am quite proud of myself for making it to the last 4 out of 13 people. :)
