Well on friday night I went to our weekly poker game. It was $25 buy in, with 5 players.
It started out pretty good for me, I played fairly tight because 2 of the people there I didn't know very well, and wanted to see their style. I picked up a couple small pots, and was doing decently.
After awhile I had a taken a decent chip lead. It was me and another kid decently out in front, when I got dealt K  K  . The player before me, (the person slightly behind me in chips) Raised a fair amount, I re-raised and he called. The other 3 players folded. The flop was A  A  K . I had made my boat on the flop, he raised about half his chips, I re-raised and he went all in. I called, and he flipped over A and 10 . The turn and river didn't help him at all, so I almost doubled up early on. It was one of my most memorable hands, he had 3 aces after the flop and I had a full house, pretty nice.
Needless to say with that massive chip lead I went on to win the game...fun night for sure.

Good. Nice to hear about someone having fun while playing poker LOL, it can get a little serious and/or bitter around here at times...

Yeah, I never understand that. I played in a $10/$20 game a few weeks ago, and I think I was one of two people that actually enjoyed being there. And yet these guys are regulars.
Nice work btw: I know with your Kings you're just praying an Ace won't flop... but aren't you glad the aces were there this time?

I always have fun playing poker.. especially when it's with close friends. Winning is just a bonus. LOL.. but it can get pretty competitive... but in the end everyone has a good laugh and a good time./quote
