Poker Stag Night!

Last night was very, very… I mean VERY fun. To my surprised my poker crew organized a little bit of a different poker night. First off there were 3 people in attendance, which were out of context, Big Al, Mike and Rob from Floor hockey were there. Very cool! Flo, Seb, Tracey, Leo, Alex B. (aka Little Alex)… the regulars…. were there. So I got there and we broke out the girlie cards…. They just added an extra dimension of fun to the game…. Personally, I’ll never look at the 8 of clubs the same way again HAAHAHAHA! (but I digress...)
Now, the poker setup included two new prizes. Bottles of Booze! Crown Royal and a Dark Rum. Nice! Seb started the evening by declaring that the poker pot would be split 70%-30% among the top two winners and those two winners would also each get one bottle of booze. Neat twist I thought. I still don’t know who sprung for the booze. Whoever did… many thanks!!! Anyway, as usually the game unfolded beautifully. Lots of ‘all ins’ near the end too. I love it. I made it to the top three and the game came to a grinding halt. Seb declared that it was time to reveal the true guise of the evening. It turns out that before I arrived, everyone decided that whatever the outcome of the game, I would get the full pot! HOLY SHIT! ... I mean HOLY WOW! ... was I ever humbled by this. It was a very nice gesture of my friends to do (and if any of you are reading this…. I thank you very much…I really appreciate the sentiment…. The pot cash went right into our honeymoon fund). This wasn’t a trivial amount of money either. It had grown with the nightly buy-ins to $205! Holy Smokes. Nice Pot! The game resumed. I promptly went “all in” and lost. Congrats to Little Alex (1st) and Leo (2nd) who brought home the hard liquor! Yeehaaa! Thanks again everyone!!!! I cheers my Stripper Mug to you!
