error file of poker nite #12

Ok, that was my lame attempt to try to let whatever happens in poker night stays in poker night. Now that the serious business is taken care of, let’s continue to what happened last month!

2 months ago we found out that, Kevin (me) was Korean. Well, guess what? Last month we found out, Daniel K., is African American! Read on to see what happened…

So, October poker night was at kevin’s place. even though it wasn’t a house warming party, people still brought over presents, well, they were all diapers, except for Daniel, he got me Bounty, which is useful as well as soon as the baby comes. Thanks you guys! Anyway, we began with some Kari Out Chinese food, it was a lot of food and it took me 3 days to finish the leftovers. You guys need to eat more! After dinner, we had a raffle drawing, all those that brought diapers gets to draw for a free buy-in! we wrote down all the names and place them in my sweaty Yankees cap. Daniel’s name was drawn from the cap, so he got a free buy-in!!

Since our very own cat king (that’s Marty Williams when he doesn’t shave for a month, for those of you that don’t know) wasn’t there, there were little raising pre-flop. Everyone played conservatively, until Daniel started betting. Daniel, at the beginning of the night, told us he never played poker before. so he bets $50. Then everyone folds because that’s a lot of money. Then he started playing like a pro, so we asked again, “have you ever played poker before?” Daniel replied, “I have never played poker with you guys before”. HA! so there you go.

Daniel continues with the big bets, always $50 after flop, and turn, and more on the river. After several hands, I forget who, either not-funny (that’s Patrick for the new comers) or Horse shoe (that’s Marty Tiglao for the new comers), gave Daniel a nick name. they called him, “50 cent”. So that name stuck for the rest of the night, and the following week at work. that’s when we found out Daniel was really a African American.

Over the course of the night, our Horse Shoe had the worst luck, ever. He went all-in on very good hands, then loses to Likeng who has pretty bad hands. And we know why Likeng goes all in, because he’s gotta go home! The percentage before the flop is almost 70-80% in Marty’s favor, but with his bad luck, he manages to lose 3 all-in hands to Likeng. Believe me, you gotta be pretty unlucky to do that!

“50 cent” continues to overpower everyone with his $50 bets, until Tina finally called on his bets and won! Well, once or twice, but at the end, Tina lost. I can’t believe 50 cent would take money from a pregnant lady. So mean!

Towards the end of the night, not-funny (that’s Patrick, in case you forgot already) went all in against Daniel. Not-funny posted this video on facebook so you can find it there, or click on this link, www.facebook/iforgotthelinkyoushouldjustgotheretopatrickspageandsearchforthevideoyousolazy.com”. Anyway, after the flop, Daniel had 2 pairs against Patrick’s straight draw. That’s 70% against 30% in Daniel’s favor. The turn comes out, and Patrick made a straight! That shifted the hand to 95% Patrick vs. 5% Daniel. We were all shocked. Then the river card, and Daniel made a full house and won!! It was amazing how the table was turned. It’s something you’d see in world series of poker on TV. You had to be there to enjoy that moment. You can hear everyone screaming in the video, with the link I provided above.

After Patrick lost his straight, we decided to call it quits, because only me and 50 cent were left with money, everyone else all lost. We decided to stop because 50 cent is just too PRO! He must’ve borrowed Janet’s poker for dummies right before the game…

Anyways, Kim was invited to my poker night party, but earlier that day she called and said she wasn’t feeling well, so I told her Poker Night was cancelled. Good thing she’s not on this email list!
