More Pokah!

I'm very excited. This Saturday I'm hosting a poker tournament. So far I only have 3.5 people confirmed (Jenny is the .5), but I think I'll get a full table. Tom is coming, and I haven't seen him for like 8 months, since the last time Fish had a get together. Tom's bailing on his Mom and Brother who invited themselves over to watch the final 4 action. Instead, he's coming over to watch some hoops and play in the tourney! I love playing with Tom, ever since about a year and a half ago when I semi-bluffed him off of pocket queens. That was really fucking sweet. I had jacks (one in hand, one on board) and a flush draw and bet strong before the river. A rag that didn't complete my flush fell but I bet it like I had it (the board also had a K), he stewed for a bit, rocking back and forth like the kids from the short bus, then folded. Looking back on it, it was a totally fishy play on my part, but I'd been showing down some solid stuff up to that point and would have taken 2nd if I busted, so why the hell not? Anyhow, Fish was all in since before the flop with very few chips, so I had to show my pathetic hand down even though Tom folded. I had Fish beat, and Tom went apeshit when he saw my hand. He was tilting for the rest of the night. It was stupid, but it worked, and I was happy for the rest of the night.

Can't wait for Saturday!
