Texas Hold'em....I won!!! (hi hi)
Hi all!! So at last the poker report shows up!!! I survived my first poker timba in USA...The cops bragged, so we were only 5 players and a $25 jackpot. The game started and it was really thrilling....We played with real chips from Las Vegas casinos...wow!! It really loked like throwing away all your savings from last work's month!!! So there we were: Paul, Chris, X1, X2 and David (sorry for the X's but I don't remember names...)
X1 played while doing MBA homeworks. He really demonstrated both tasks are 100% compatible. Chris and I were the noobs. We were supposed to loose but... Chris won some good hands while I began sinking like the Titanic... Paul, the experienced player was chatting all time about his past wons in Las Vegas while giving "some advices". His stuck of chips skyrocketed as each shoe went by.... I had absolutley no idea of the cards scales...so each time I won something I had to ask: "Why?". Full house better than flush? Or flush betther than straight?? What a mess!!! Well... In the early rounds the shoes were about $50 and $75, so when someone hit with $100 bet all the others fold...30 minutes more and I was approaching an IRS auditory...Shit! Then I feel it...The thrilling of loosing...my mind telling me: bet! bet! bet! "you have to win". The americans keep and absolutely amazing control over the cards and chips at all times. So I don't know how exactly I did, I won one hand (100% chance, of course) and then I steadily grow up until I came face to face with Chris: also know as "The Great Bluffer" ;)
"All in" he told me. He put all his capital on the bet...Ok, "para huevos aki los mios" I told him...I raised his bet. And then we fold. Who won? Me. Why? I just don't know...I only remember it was because the last card was a 10. It turns out without that card I would lose everything. So Chris went bankroll. 4 left. Paul also crashed X2. 3 left. We make a pause and we resumed. The bets now were higher. $100 and $150. Eventually I knocked out X1...How? Because I mistakenly saw two 6 of spades in my cards. An experienced player knows this is ABSOLUTELY impossible, but well, there was I... So finally Paul vs me. He won: flush against an impossible straight ( I didn´t know before hand it was not possible to go around the corner). But well, he got $17 and $8 for me. Funny no?
