I got lucky in a home game on Friday. Here's the story:

I had A7 spades pre-flop on the button. So I limp in. There are a few other callers.

The flop comes A 7 x all hearts. A LAG raises. Another LAG re-raises. I think fuck it and go all in. The re-raiser calls.

The cards are flipped and the re-raiser shows JT hearts. He'd flopped a flush on the river.

Alas, the turn gives me another Ace, completing a full house and wiping out LAG.

Not really the best Poker play. But I guess it's time I had some luck seeing as I've had a particularly bad run of cards lately.

However, the loser, normally a very placid chap, was very angry and simmered throughout the rest of the evening and was extremely upset. Being in a home game (in my very own little home!) I wasn't too pleased with this as it was just supposed to be a bit of fun.

Anyway, like the Juice, I've also been getting a bit bored with Poker and probably wouldn't have bothered playing if it hadn't been at my pad. Instead, I wasted the weekend playing Medieval 2 Total War. It's very addictive and I can't wait to play against Rottie online, as she claims to be a seasoned veteran of 6 years.
