This the night of the month to which I’m always looking forward. It’s _Poker Night!_ We meet once a month, usually at least four of us, more often five or six;the entire roster is about eighteen. The host and I have never missed a game. What’s neat is tonight is our tenth anniversary game! The 120th in a series. Wonder how I’ll do…? TTFN ---

So how did you do **beatle**? Still have any money left? 😉 ---

Well, I managed a rare (for me) bluff on an apparent straight flush on a 5-stud hand (no, the card down didn’t round it out, but I drove everyone else out) and an absolute bluff with nothing on high-low double buy (a game I hate). Split two Chicago lowhole pots and pulled trip eights in straight up five card. And I won at Bouray (or Bouret as I grew up with it - Hoyle’s has changed my life) twice with only one boo, early on. All in all, I got my money back and paid my pizza tariff. A good night (I really don’t care how the money washes out) spent with several old friends. Thanks for askin’ **Bubble Girl**.
