saturday, april 30 2005 - Poker Face

Today I played my first game of poker, Ray and Andrej vey patiently taught me, Ricky and Elaine how to play. They even especially went to buy new chips for us to play with, such great friends. After a couple of rounds, I think I became totally addicted to the game. Although I am still not a good payer (by far) it is a lot of fun. I now finally know what call, raise and fold means. I also landed a hand of straight flush, which I was told is a rarity inthe poker playing world. That, was pretty cool. I got so into playing that I was kinda upset when we had to stop because Euhan and Elaine had to go eat dinner. But hey, I know, people got to eat. We ended up playing a couple rounds of Big Two before calling it quits.

I must say, I really got to work on my poker face though. Always smiling and singing works great (I think) when you are just hanging out with friends, but doesn't work at the poker table. I really love hanging out with friends. In Leadership class, we were told that Introverts like to be alone with they have very good or very bad news. Extroverts are just the opposite. I think I must be an extrovert, since I always seem to enjoy myself so much more when I am surrounded by others. I definitely know how to value my time alone, but the most fun comes from being with others.

All in all, it was an entirely unproductive (if you don't count the Revlon 5K as productive) but very fun day.
