Poker face

This weekend, B and I went away with a whole lot of his work mates to this awesome game farm about 60 kms past Rustenburg. It always amazes me how good you feel after going away and getting out of the freneticism of Joeys. On Saturday night we decided to play a bit of poker, Texas Hold 'em style. I've never really been a big fan of poker or to be honest really played it properly.

Let's just say that now I'm converted. The rush of your first win gives you an inkling of how people can get addicted to gambling. We played for hours. A bush fire loomed ominously on the horizon and panicked everyone else but did not deter us from our game. At 2am in the morning it was just 3 of the original 10 players remaining. I felt like I should have been wearing a green visor. The game ended in a couple of rash "all in" rounds as we started getting tired. Next time I'm playing for money.
