Poker night

So I rock up to Josh's for poker night last night, and let's just say the standard of play was lacking a little. With no money on the line, some players were playing some ridiculous hands. In fact, I think we had three all ins in the first four hands.

There were nine players in total - Josh, his wife Sally, Narelle and I, as well as Josh's brother Wes and his wife Sascha, a guy I knew from Portside called Ben, old Seaton guy (and current stalker of Michella's housemate Amy) Bin, and another guy called Aaron. All nice people, some of them not so hot at cards though.

Actually Josh and Sally were decent, and Wes played a few good hands. But for the rest, the combination of no idea and no financial incentive meant some crazy hands were played. After seeing guys going all in at the start of the night with hands like Queen - Eight, I held back for a long time. I don't think I won a hand in the first half hour. Eventually though I started to get some decent cards, and knocked a few of the weaker players out. Came down to Narelle, Sally and I, although by this stage I had a pretty big stack, and finished it off quite quickly.

A nice night out, but I wouldn't be missing a game with my regular group for this anytime soon.
