Subaqua Sternal Rubs

After a nice dinner tonight cooked by a friend (and half a bottle of wine), I was invited to join the weekly poker tournament in Lance Aux Epines. I was a little apprehensive, as I have just played "normal 5-card poker myself, and the games were set to be Texas Hold'em. I have watched countless hours of the World Series of Poker while on duty at the ambulance station (there was really nothing else on), but I doubt that qualified me to play.

These guys were pretty experienced, and were playing for money. It ended up being a fun time with a tournament game, (top 3 winners share pot) and a "real value" game (buy chips upfront, and get back the value of your chips in cash at the end of the game). I didn't do too badly for my first time out - I ended up winning 33EC in the last game, which put me up 13 EC for the night (about US$5.20). Not enough to feed my scuba diving habit, but anything in the plus column is good! I was invited back for the next tournament, so the regular players can win their money back off the "newbie."
