Ruby goes to Cajun Vegas

Yes, I went to the casino over the weekend. The short and sweet of it is: Casino - nothing, ruby - $295 richer. [invoking the Texas vernacular] Yeeeeeehaaaaawwwww!!!! That's right, we Texans love nothing better than to gallop across the border into Louisiana and rustle us up some dinero.

Actually, the casino and I weren't dukin' it out. The poker rooms are set up so that the casino takes a "rake" from every pot. They are the only guaranteed winners. The participants (ten to a table) vie with each other Texas hold 'em style.

I "vied" for eight hours that night and came out just shy of three C-notes richer. A friend of mine wasn't so lucky. He hung himself with copious amounts of scotch and bad calls. Probably roughly $50 of my winnings came from him.

I can't post more about it this night. I'm off to play some pool with a friend. I'll continue on about the adventure tomorrow. Until then, poker players...

Thx, Annex. :)

Actually, I only socked it to other players pockets, Jen. At the poker tables the casino makes money no matter what. However, any socking it to the casinos is okay by me. :p

I think the lotto is up to forty-something million, blue. I may be mistaken though. I don't play Lotto or scratch-offs, but now that you mention it, maybe I should ;)
