Poker

not sure if this counts as a sport, but it definitely counts as "stuff" right?

i won a sweet hand the other night, which ended up pocketing me like 80 bucks.

i get pocket 4's, guy raises into me 2.5 times the big, i call, flop comes 2-3-J, he bets another 2.5 times, i go all in for about 12 times and he ponders a good 5 minutes, then folds his pocket 10s.

with skill like that, look for me on espn in a few months.

edit - days

you were close to getting a "NAWT UH SPOWRT GE TE EF OH" response from me... but you won't

I was playing a $20 buy in game at a party. We were all drinking and shit, and just all around having a good time. The table got down to 3 people, these two dudes that were buddies and myself. I had an alright chip lead over the first guy and was working on taking the second guy out. I got like Q 10 suited and raised about double big pre-flop. The second guy called and stayed in with me. The flop comes like 5,8,Q all random suited. The guy bets another 2xbig or so. I raise him more than the amount of chips he has because I read him to a straight draw. I have a substantial chip lead, so much so that even if I lose this hand I'll still be a good bit ahead of him and can still grind his ass off.

He starts counting his chips and pushing them toward pot. After he gets them all out there I take back the couple of chips that I don't need and since the pots good, with him all-in, I flip over my cards to reveal my queen. He looks at me like I'm stupid and grabs his chips moving them back toward the rail asking "what are you doing dude?" I was like "you called, I'm showing my cards since you're all-in... no more betting can happen..." He comes back with this bullshit "I didn't call... I never said I called." Now at this point I assessed the room and knew I could jump over the table and break his arm before anyone could pull me off of him... but thought better of it since it was just a friendly game and at one of my friend's dad's houses... His dad is an awesome guy with a sweet fucking pad. No need to make myself unwelcome over a poker hand, or even $20, so I controlled myself and let it go without getting too outwardly pissed off. The other two guys saw it fair that he folded his hand and I won the pot at that point. W/E they're both bad, and I'm sure I can kick both of their drunk asses anyway.

Within the next half hour I took them both out and took my $100 and got the fuck out of there.

I hit a straight flush on my first hand at the casino a few days back. Won just under $400. I wish I would have hit it a few hands later, because I definitely wasn't expecting to sit down at a table and hit a straight flush. I only bought $40 in chips and I wanted to make them last a few hands... lol
