Calling all drunks...free poker.
There is a free poker league in Austin when they play at a different restaurant every night.The poker is free the the food is not. There are two games. One at 7pm and one at 9pm. If you win the second one you get 50 bucks. Its usually a fun atmosphere.
Free poker is a lot different than playing in a money game. All kinds of jokers come out. Last night I had a guy on my team who pretty much made it impossible for me to have fun while he was at the table. I felt bad for him because he was trying so hard to be cool but he was wasted and looked like and idiot. I knew the night was going to be bad when he sat down and complained that he was the only one drinking. Then proceeded to spill his beer not once but on two different occasions and then look at everyone like it was the tables fault. He didn't even try and help clean it up. He just sat there. I mean he couldn't have helped even if he had wanted to because he was so wasted at this point that he could bet he chips without knocking over his drink, so getting up and getting towels to soak up his mess was out of the question.
The worst part about the whole thing is that he kept getting cards. It always happens that way. If you have no clue what you are doing (he didnt know how to play, we had to constantly help him understand) then you WILL catch cards. There will be nothing anyone can do to beat you. Which is normally fine because those people just collect alot of chips and then go in a huge pot against someone later down the road and lose it all in a few hands once their luck runs out. I didnt want to wait around. Its free poker and if its not fun I just lose and go home. So thats what I did. I gave my money to the guy next to me and me and kevin went and got some star bucks.
The very cool thing about the night is that Kevin won the first game at 7pm. He didnt win any money but he is automatically in the running for the final game. If you win that you get a trip to Vegas. The second cool thing happened is that Andy won the second game. That was the first time Andy had ever played in this tourney.
