lucky busy days

today was a really busy day, more running around and visiting. i normally don't post twice in two days, but i must tell you that i was having excellent luck today.

it was an amazing story of poker. if we had been playing with money, i would easily have won like a few hundred dollars. i started the day with a potential straight on the flop, a hand which i chose not to play (seriously, who plays with a 5 and 8). i landed a 6 triple on the flop, followed by a 4 four of a kind on the river, along with pocket As and pocket Js. basically, i was owning and winning all the high stakes games. which is slightly infuriating because i could effectively be very rich now.

but that's all part of the game. you win some you lose some. and if you don't play with money, all you can do is rue a missed opportunity. but THOU SHALT NOT COVET and hence i feel a little guilty for thinking that way. gambling is BAD. i'm just happy i had good cards today =)
