Last week the company I work for sponsored a poker charity event and having missed last year's run I didn't want to miss this one. It was a chance to simualate the experience. I know it's not a pro event, but I was nervous and felt the cold in my hands as I placed each bet. I didn't think I'd last, but you know what......by the time they announced the raise for the second ante I was still playing. In summary, I won one hand (woohoo!) and lost two big hands (both bad beats when I had aces in one and queens the other), the second of which ended my run. I still felt like a winner, though.....I think I played my cards well, I wasn't the first to bust out, and the two players who were obviously the pros in the table asked me to reload and keep playing...and even shared poker lingo with me (no, I didn't know how to respond without looking like a fool so I just smiled and shrugged my shoulders). On the way out I grabbed another bottle of beer (oh....yes, they served beer and pizza, too!).
