Idea--Art or No?

Poker Night(s)

I have never played poker before in my life, honestly. Pretty much because I never had the patience to learn. Some friends of mine decided that it was time for me to suck it up and learn, however, and so my poker nights began.... The first night, we bet M & Ms and candy corn...not bad and I got the jist of the game, and a few laughs as I kept eating everyone else's 'chips' or just simply hiding them. I was truly paying attention though! My friends took the candy chips so seriously that I definately planned on declining the invitation to play with an actual ten dollar buy in. Turns out, I didn't really have a choice....I only had six bucks on me, so borrowed four and was off and playing. After winning the first couple of hands totally on luck, I had a few people a little bit upset....I knew a full house was good, but I wansnt' sure I had won the hand! The game continued and I got a littel low on chips now and then, but managed to stay in the final three with the 'Poker Pro' and the guy who, up to that point, would have a pair of Ace's when there was nothing on the table. Talk about nervous. I tended to chicken out for a little while during this part until 'Poker Pro' got beat out...I got pretty excited. Now it came time for multitasking, as my boyfriend called, and I was working on not getting beat by 'pocket aces'. I honestly don't know how I did it...Laura helped out...but I managed to walk away with the winnings and a few freindly jabs at how 'I didn't know how to play!' All in all, it was a fun night, I'm not sure I could do it often, I don't like to lose, but would every once in awhile!
