Know When to Walk Away, Know When to Run

Fin got some new poker gear and thought it would be good to get Damien and myself over to practice on.

Damien and I made the hellish trip up to see Fin all the way across london on a super crowded tube that was over 40 degrees! But it was worth it, Fin had an automatic card shuffler!


After playinh with the card shuffler and watching England lose in the world cup we finally got dwn to learning (Fin's version) of the rules of Texas Hole 'Em Poker.



We finally worked out how to play (well the way fin thought you played anyway) and we got down to it. the stakes were high we all stood to lose upwards of 1 pound! I was in the lead early but then everything swung to Fin (not surprising as he was making up the rules). In a surprising finish Damien came back at the last minute to win the lot! Well done mate.


After a couple of games and some more Soccer we got down to the MASSIVE BBQ feast Fin and his flatmates had prepared for us.

All this poker gave us the bug so the next day Damo and I headed out to buy a poker set of our very own... and then Marg beat the pants of us.
