Yes, we went to the Casino Wednesday night about a week and a half ago. The Wednesday Night Race, held by the local mountain bike club, was canceled due to rain. My wife has been encouraging me, kind of, to try my hand at poker, since I have been watching Poker After Dark for a couple years now and am not bad playing for free on the Internet. I believe she thinks I can win or at least loose less than what it costs to race. She claims she never knew I had to pay to race mountain bikes.
So we went to the casino together. My first time to sit down at a live poker table. I had a bad seat, next to the dealer. I was very tired and unfamiliar with my environment. Felt awkward and out of place. 2-4 dollar limit hold em. Went with the minimum buy in of twenty bucks and then a re-buy. After two hours I was $1 down and we went home.
Chased a couple hands I shouldn't have. Didn't steal one I could of. With two queens on the table I checked wanting the other guy to bet first, knowing he didn't have a queen, and then steel it. I had been betting heavy looking for a straight, and representing a queen. But he checked. he had a J where I had a 10 high.
Sweetest hand? Suited connectors on the big blind. Everyone was in and thought there would be a lot of low cards on the table. Risk reward ratio was good. I raised pre-flop. Two diamonds on the flop and another on the river. Someone threw down their two pair, Q's and 9's, expecting to take the pot and I tossed my 2-3 of diamonds on the table and said;
"I got the flush."
Of course the two pairs of 7's were nice too.
So not being able to get a job and at the point of certain bankruptcy should I make a last effort to pay our debts at the poker tables?
