This Bud's for Me

I got into a 22 man (well, 21 dudes and one chick) poker tourney Friday night. Some dude Julia worked with had people over to his place ... real nice basement room for 4 poker tables, nice pool table, and a room with a couple leather couches and a big flat screen.

Anyway, buy in was $50, you could add-on an additional $20 worth of chips, and then if you go broke, you could rebuy $20 worth of chips as many times as you want in the first hour and a half. Well, I bought in my $50, and after a bit, added on the $20 because everyone else was. I figured if I was gonna hang around I'd need the same amount of fire power. Well, I get bent over on a couple good hands in a row. I bust out ... all my chips. I buy in for another $20 and end up busting that out after not too much longer. I got into a good pot, had not many chips left, but dealt King / Jack I think, caught two more Kings on the flop, went all in, and some bastard caught a flush on the river to beat me. I think I was the 4th or 5th out. Sorry ass night.

The guy that knocked me out finished second. The one girl there - the guy's wife who hosted got 4th. But I hung out the rest of the tourney and drank ... Bud. Out of all those people who almost all brought beer, I was the only one drinking the King. I guess no one else has the same taste as us hillbillies. There were all these expensive beers people were drinking. Oh well, the King works for me.
