Texas Hold 'em Tournament
Guess what??? I got second place in the Texas Hold 'em Tournament. There were 20 people competing. I actually beat out my friend Adam (not big Adam, for those who know him) who I expected to trounce me. I was really close to first but the other guy got lucky on the last hand. I went all in on pocket aces, but he managed a straight on the river card. Anyhow, I still got second and I won a $20 gift certificate to Rachael's Roadhouse (a restaurant around here that does wings etc). First place was a $30 certificate. The guy who won first is also a friend and also named Adam, ironically enough. Since we're all friends we all plan to go to Rachael's at the same time. It should be a lot of fun.

Pocket aces, river card - say what? Well, if things don't work out with web design, I guess you could go to Vegas and become a card shark! David, George's son, is into this Texas Hold'em also - must be the "in" game right now. Congrats on 2nd place - not bad for an amateur. Is Rachael's SB friendly? I say go and enjoy - one night from the diet should be okay, I would think.
