I know we've had one of these threads previously. But I don't care so smurf you.

Apparently there is some kind of National Poker League and so my local tavern has games every Thursday night. After however many rounds the top 5 players are sent of to a regional comp yada yada yada. I don't really care because tonight was my first night playing poker on a table that wasn't filled with family and covered in beer stains.

I managed to make it onto the final table which put me top 9, and I was fortunate to get even there, having been all but done and dusted twice. When I am forced to go all in, I play like a maverick and don't look at my cards and holy smurf it worked twice. Third time burried me.

Does anyone else do social cards or pseudo-gambling? Does anyone have stories of big wins or big losses in casinos? This is now a general gambling thread.

inb4 I thought this was a sex thread
