My little sister has her B-day on Halloween, she will be turning 9 (I feel so old)... I spent Saturday at a friend's house with 6 guys playing some poker, Soul Calibur 2, Super Smash Bros. Melee, Ping Pong, Billiards, and Ping Pong Billiards Extreme (explain in a minute). I arrived early and found my friend Doug and his friend from Austin, Nick, playing SSBM... I hadn't played in so long... so I lost pretty quickly... Tried my hand at Ping Pong... Lost first game 21-16, and won the 2nd, 25-23... (You have to win by 2 in Ping Pong).. We then switched to Soul Calibur 2... on the Gamecube... I've never played the GC version, so switching the button scheme for Talim and Ivy was a hard transition, but somehow I still owned it up... Finally the rest of the guys came and the poker began... 6 guys + $10 buy in = $30 for 1st, $20 for 2nd, and $10 for 3rd... We started around 5ish, and finished around 9:30... The 3rd hand I took a large pot (around $4000 in chips) so I sat back until it was the last 4 people... Nick came in 4th... Doug came in 3rd, and I was the small stack coming into heads up play... After 20 hands or so I took the chip lead.. Cameron (who had been the chip leader all night) went all in... I called... He had pocket 10s.. I had an Ace and a 9.. Flop comes: King, 9, Queen... Guys are gathering around... teh suspense... The Turn is a King... Everyone thinking or saying.. David needs an Ace to win... River comes a Queen... Giving me 2 pair (Kings and Queens) and causing Cameron to have to use the King and Queen pair, since the 10s are lower, my Ace kicker wins the hand.. 8) WooT!!! After the money was sorted out we played Ping Pong and Billiards Extreme.. Basically it was 4 players, 2 playing Pool, and 2 playing Ping Pong... at the same time on the same table... The other pair of guys won that... But I was able to return a serve and put it in the corner pocket... :P
Today... I slept... Watched the Texans.. Played games...
Well that's all for now... Later...
