Some Interesting Hands
This weekend was pretty good. It was a relaxing time, got some work done, got some chores done, got to spend time with the wife and kids, and got to play some poker. I have two hands to post today as a good example of the highs and lows of poker, but first I want to share another story for the weekend.
My three year old son watches me play online all the time, and is very interested in cards as a whole, obviously a daddy trait. He even says cute phrases like "Chip In" when I bet, and whenever he sees an ace he says "Ace Wins!" All those are cute in their own right, but then he hit me up with a new one. Happy me gets dealt pocket aces, and since he always says "Ace Wins!" when one ace comes up, I asked what two aces meant, and he replies to me "That means you have to do War!" And was very confused when I couldn't put down three more cards for "war."
Too cute for words.
Ok, now, to go over my "High and Low" hands, starting with my High hand, mainly because this was a first for me:

Yay for my first Royal Flush! Pretty Lucky too, considering I was dominated preflop.
That one made the sting from this one hurt a lot less. In fact, I just plain laughed when this one happened.
