Rich people poker

Each month on Friday people in Newport Shores play poker. Newport Shores in on the shore of Lake Washington where the "cheap" houses are three-quarters of a million bucks to start and as you get closer to the water it is considerably more. On the water you are talking multi-million dollar homes. The last few games have been a guys house that is on the water. It is a huge house. It is sort of weird to be in a house that costs millions of dollars. Needless to say I don't go to many of them.

I sit at tables where people plop down twenty or thirty bucks for a buy-in where that money is mere pocket change. We played two-five Texas-Hold em for several hours. Then everyone left except for me and one other guy, plus the home owner. I was up for the night and doing well.

We changed to no-limit poker with a five-ten blind. We played for another hour or so. Finally on a hand I had that was okay, I ended up losing to someone who got pocket aces. So I walked out even on the day.
