It Doesn't Get Any Better Than This!!!

I have spent a MONTH of training. I was soooo beat. When my friends invited me to a poker night, I immediately grabbed the chance. We're also gonna have a long weekend (from Saturday to Tuesday) so it was the perfect way to cap my training month.

The players were Tabel, Chel, Mark, Ogz, Rene, Ken, and our new recruits, Dax & Ruthie. Everytime I play, I silently pray that I don't get to be the first one out. Good thing, I wasn't. In fact, I was one of the remaining players who still got some moulah =o) The game ended around 11.

Playing poker gives you the chance to strategize and be disciplined. You must know when to fold or keep your card, raise, or bluff. Plus, y'need to keep your "Poker" face all the time. Sometimes my friends know that I've got a good set of cards when I sing. I don't do that anymore =o)

It was still early so we thought of having a second game. Mark, Shell, Table, and I grabbed our 2,500 worth of chips. Ruthie joined us later. Mark was the first one out but he borrowed some money from our "bank" (which means, he got some earnings from previous games).

Looking at my pile of dwindling chips, I thought I had to go "all in" in our last game. Mark dealt the cards. For our flop, 2 Aces appeared. Hmmm... Then another Ace appeared. Wow!!! Three Aces, man! That's freaking HIGH. Tabel raised. So did Chel. I called and even pushed my chips towards the center for an all in.

Tabel showed her cards. Chel did too. I showed them just one: THE FOURTH ACE!!! We all screamed. Man, that was the best game I've ever had.

The fun didn't stop there though. Ogz brought his MagicSing. I sang "I Don't Wanna Know", "Thriller" (my Halloween tribute), and "Hey Jude" for my last song. We even passed the mic so we could all sing. Our highest score was a 95 on "More Than Words". We sang till 4 am. Teehee ;oP
