(no subject)
Im still all 'hopped up' from yesterday.
*anxious*
My break from stress is officially over.
Now its time to worry about health, responsibility, money, independance and all that other crap I hate to have to worry about.
-------------------------------
Last night was poker night at Ricks. We started out with 3 full tables (21 people) and it was a LOOONG game. I think I placed 10th or so. Not great.
But, it was probably one of my favorite games, yet.
Jesse took a chunk of my money.
He went "All in" before the flop, with about 400 chips. I was probably 3rd chip leader at the table with maybe 1,900 chips. I had pocket 6's.. everyone else folded and I called.
Jesse turns up his pocket jacks.
Flop was 7, 6, J
We both flopped trips... the only card that could save me was the only remaining 6 in the deck, and I think I had a flush draw.
Turn card was 8
My flush was still live, but Jesse still had the best hand.
River card was the fourth JACK!
Jesse won with four of a kind, jacks. The bastard. But, when you lose to a monster hand like that,.. it doesnt feel all that bad.
I got a few good hands,.. but I lost on ALL of them. I got scared off the better hand a couple times... but for the most part I played good. My luck wasn't with me, though.
Jesse, however,.. had the luck AND the skill! After a 3 and a half hour game, he finished out 2nd place:) I'd like to think it was partly due to the Crown and Coke I bought him... ;)
SOCIALLY, though, it was the best game ever.
Firstly "Baldy" was there. He is this asshole that talks crap all the time and plays completely randomly. He bothers EVERYONE. Last time he made a comment about my breasts tailored to offend Jesse AND me... so yeah. Jesse decided to put a "bounty" on Baldy. $5 to the player that takes him out of the game.
Jesse tried to be smooth and tell people individually, so as not to enrage/offend Baldy. 2 of the 3 tables were informed of the bounty, but the table that Baldy was at, didnt know! So, I took it upon myself to tell them.
In fact, within 20 minutes of play, Baldy had been in arguments with 3 other players over tournament rules... he was trying to be a bastard and was wrong on every account.
So, I took it upon myself to make sure EVERY player knew about the bounty.
I sat down next to Baldy between hands. I look around the table.
'So, hows the game going over here? Having fun? Sounds like some drama going on! Well,.. I have news to share. It looks like someone put a bounty on,.....'
I turn to Baldy. 'What is your name?'
Baldy says, 'Steve.'
'Ok,.. well everybody there is a bounty on Steve, here. $5 to the person who knocks him out. Have fun, everyone!'
I leave and go back to my table.
Andy (one of the guys who plays every week) says, '$5 to whoever knocks him out COLD or whoever knocks him out of the tournament?'
'You know what? I'd pay out either one. Whoever knocks him out of the game or knocks him unconscious gets $5.'
Everyone thought it was hilarious. Because it was.
A few hands later, we tabled-up, and I was placed at Steve/Baldy's table.
He went out of his way to try to be my friend. He wanted to know why we put a bounty on him.
"Well, in the past you have had NO problem saying things to offend me AND my boyfriend... so I will say and do whatever I want to to you. Hence, the bounty." I give him the biggest smile I have.
He apologizes and says smarmy things that are supposed to compliment me.
"You know that yougn blonde over there in the hot dress? She's stupid as a brick. I like a woman who wants to defend herself. I'd touch you WAY before I'd touch her. Really, I would!"
Uh.. thanks creepo.
There was another woman at the table, and we play with her alot. We were having alot of fun making fun of Steve together.
Some guy I've never seen got Jesse's $5 bounty:)
After that, I got to listen to one of the top 3 finalists be disgusted over the hot blonde stupid slutty chick. He would just randomly turn to me and say, "GOD! Doesn't that shit piss you OFF?! I mean, as a woman??" He points over to the slutty blonde hot chick, who is flirting with 7 guys in a group, doing that gross high tittery laugh, and then playing lipstick lesbian with some chick to entertain the guys.
"Nope, not really. I see that shit too much to be bothered by it anymore."
Its so cute,.. those guys who actually expect women to have self respect, integrity and intelligence. Guys who aren't interested in women who have no more than a cute body, pretty face and half a pound of makeup to offer. It gives me a warm tingly glow on the inside.
Then we had a long conversation about rock music... lots of great talking, beer, poker and Jesse making a run at winning:) VERY FUN.
On topic of slutty annoying crazy girls:
"Hey, she KNOWS that the only thing she has to offer is good looks, and she's nice enough to share it with just about everyone while she has it! Whats wrong with that?"
hehe.
Good times
