Feeling Young


I was playing my usual Thursday night game last night and there was a 92 year old lady playing at my table. She is the sweetest thing. She still can shuffle the cards and deal but when she deals we all look at the ceiling (a lot of ladies have lots of practice looking at ceilings) as she flashes cards. Anyways last night she was hitting cards . She never raises just calls or folds. We have to explain each time what her options are. She had pocket tens one hand and hit a full boat on the river to knock out a guy who also hit a lower boat. She had a huge stack. I was two players over from her. I was always telling her her options as I really like her. As soon as I sat down and realized she was at our table I just thought oh well tonight just play for fun. We had close to 60 players and I finally busted in 18th when my AKd came up against pocket Kings and the board woofed on us. That was okay though. It was still fun although I did have a headache from all the explaining. I hope if I live that long I can still play. Of course if I do I will have all though old ladies chasing me around the rest home as the women to guy ratio is like 8-1. You see Josie there are older poker players than Memphis. LuckyDuck and me.

I did play one SNG online yesterday. Just a 5 buck one. Managed to win and yes oh yes Pocket Aces held up... A certain someone is teaching me about Aces... Thats okay when I am 90 she can come and feed me. I like lots of deserts.

Game 4 tonight. Heading over to the local pub to watch it. Go Canucks go. Get in their goalies face.
