Poker Night

 I had the opportunity to get Jeff's poker chips out for an actual game of poker.

my first big win

My youngest son was home from University (!) for the reading break, so we took the opportunity to have a game day at the house.  Other friends came out and the boys all had games go on during the day.

In the evening I was invited to set up the felt and deal poker.

This first big pot for me was a straight over straight, I had the Ace.

Youngest son is in computer sciences and arts, so no surprise he was way out calculating me on the 'odds'.

We ended up the last two players.

Heads up was close, as he had a chip advantage at one point, then we flipped back and forth a couple of time.

Then came the showdown.

I won with a pair of 3's

I have done more painting, there was a Shako II game run, though I have not been able to get into editing due to my bride having broken a wing.  Then the power went out for a full day ... so we have been busy catching up on things not done for a few days.
