We're supposed to play Texas Hold'em Poker over the holiday. So I asked my Dad to turn me into a card shark in 3 Easy Steps. ;) He pretty much watered it down so I should (hopefully!) be able to hold my own against the onslaught. (Supposedly two of the people have been playing poker pretty regularly and are decent players.) He told me things to

Poker good. I have been playing with some friends. We do not play for money, mostly fun and practice. I work with a guy who keeps on trying to get me to go with him to Foxwoods and enter one of the tournments. I am not that confident in my skills yet. You playing no-limit?

Yes, no limit style, I believe. I think we are playing for chips tho -- I dunno if there's going to be any real money at stake. My dad suggested that we make SOME incentive not to lose so that people play more 'naturally' or otherwise people who'd never bet will just go for it, etc. He suggested that the first 2 people out have to wash the dishes and the winner gets something... but, I have to find an alt cause I hate washing dishes more than anything in the world. Of course, this might be an advantage to me. ;) ;)

We play for two incentives
1) bragging rights, did I mention won 3 of the last 4 games?
2) boredom. If you lose, you gotta watch the others play.

Euchre is weird. Once you get it, its okay, but, getting it is hard cause everything goes by so fast when you play with people who've been at it a while. I'm sure if we played again, you'd be fine!!

Maybe if they clean my clock, I should teach them Euchre. I miss it. No one here plays it. They all look at me like "What did she say? Ewwwwk-her? Is that something kinky?"
