Rock 'n' poker

Upon This Rock

Check out this article from GQ, of all places. Probably the most honest appraisal of Christian rock and Christian music festivals I've read for a long time. It's somewhat long and the font is small, but it's worth the read.

So I won at poker at last night. For those of you keeping track, that brings my poker record for the year to 2-0. Four of us at the table to start, playing mostly draw and Hold 'Em, but straight Hold 'Em at the end. Raph got screwed on two good calls when Jim made a flush, then a straight. I think Emeric just got bored because you can't conquer countries in poker, so went all-in and got knocked out. Then it was down to me and Jim, who had a substantial chip lead. I won a few good pots, as did he. Then we both went all in with four diamonds on the table. He had a King-high flush. I had an Ace-high. It. was. freaking. sweet.

Telling that story made me feel like a pale imitation of Wil Wheaton. I also fear I am developing a mild gambling addiction. I've only played poker twice this year, so it's still obviously mild. But I fear one more victory will send me over the brink.

So...wanna play? We can throw out terms like "gut-shot straight draw" and "sailboats." And also, I'll win your money.
