poker at dave s
Ben told me that Dave was having a poker game with $20 USD buy in. With my new TV coming in in a few weeks, I couldn't really afford the buy in. I decided to go anyway, just to hang out and chill. I brought a long my Design Within Reach catalog and the issue of Esquire that I picked up.
We got to Dave's while they were still eating. They had gotten some chicken from KFC. While they ate, I went throught the Design Within Reach catalog. I realized I couldn't afford the majority of the items in there. But they're so nice.
Once the guys finished eating, we got everything ready for poker. They decided to play for $10 USD instead, which is more reasonable to me. We played tournament style.
The night started out really tight. There were times when I could buy the pot with just a $0.50 raise. It was especially difficult when I would make good hands and not get a lot of action. Dave was smacked by the deck and kept on getting trips.
Most of the night was just really tight playing. That is, until Brian broke the water. He was getting beat all night, and then, out of the blue, he places this huge $5 bet. Needless to say, when someone's been being beat all night comes out betting like that, you tend to fold.
It was a great night of poker. People were playing well, there were some good hands coming out and I got to the point where if I lost it all, it was fine.
