Home Game

It amazes me that even after I tell people that I played poker full-time for a year I still get invited to home games. I guess it just looks so simple on television; people must think to themselves, “hey, I can do that too”. Whatever the rationale the invitations come.

Friday I went over to an acquaintance’s place and played in a small stakes no-limit game that has been running every month for the last couple of years: $40 buy-in, historically players win or lose up to about $100 in an evening. My chips increased steadily over the course of the night and I won over $300, establishing the new record for winnings.

Apparently I will be invited back. Silly people.

Anyone else need a chair filled at a home game?
