We had a family breakfast this morning. Then, while my parents and cousins went to look at the animals in the Secret Garden behind the Mirage, I went to play poker.
All that was open was $3-$6. That's what I used to play, so I sat down. I was in for a rude awakening.
I should have known early on when I caught a good card on the flop. I bet and EVERYONE called - everyone! C'mon, they couldn't all have good cards.
I lost one big pot when another player caught a flush on his J-4 clubs. Nothing wrong with that, except he went in to see the flop with those two miserable cards even after there had been a bet!
It's tough to think of worse cards, but he was here to play, not sit.
Bottom line, I gave back $120 and it was painful doing that.
We're going to drop off Cousin Max (flying home to Orange County) and pick up the rental car in a little while. I'll write later.
At least you play in moderation, Geoff. Sometimes the cards come your way, and they come for everyone else at the same time.
Hope your cousin got home safely.
Cheers,
Lou
