So I played poker today. It was hilarious. I fucking owned big time. We were playing for like $5 and we played three games and I won 2 and came second in the other.
The hilarious thing was that there were 3 guys who really thought they knew what they were talking about, and constantly offered advice and stuff, and I totally concur with what they said too - I mean they did know what they were talking about, maybe even more than I did in some cases. However, and it's a fairly big however. I spent the whole night pretending to be really bad and asking stupid questions (like what the chips were worth ever few hands) and occasionally doing completely stupid random bets. The idea was, and it worked perfectly, pretend to be a n00b poker player and then rape them on the hands that it counted on. In the second game I won it went down to me and another guy (who thought he was good) with me totally dominating and because I was sure I would win, I played really blaze until suddenly he came back to be winning. So next hand he was big blind and I spent a long time 'deciding' if I should call or drop. I had pocket 9s - which is good for head to head I think. After "deciding" to call, he went all in - in a blatant attempt to buy the pot. I called (of course), 9 came up in the flop and I destroyed him. It was so much fun. I really love putting on a character like that, for the night. There were a couple of times when I think people got a little suspicious but I don't know if anybody clicked (except maybe Tom, who I have played with a lot - I didn't know any of the other guys). Also another guy who I have played with a bit came along and then went out straight away in the third game but made a comment that I was probably the best player there and everybody laughed (including me) as if he was telling a joke, but I'm fairly sure he was serious

Anyway good night - I spent $30 and earned $60 (that $30 was on beer and food). Pretty good for a night of fun. So I rock.
