Rough night last night

[taterguy]

I was at the neighborhood poker game.

I lost track of how much money I had.

I figured that I could count it later, after the dealing was done.

The game ended sooner than I expected.

Turns out I didn't have enough money left for cab fare.

I had to walk home.

It started poring down rain.

My favorite suede jacket got ruined.

Fuck you Kenny Rogers, and your dumbass advice.

[union_maid]

1. In all fairness

that advice only applied if you knew when to hold 'em and when to fold 'em. Apparently there were some deficiencies in that area last night.

[taterguy]

6. Thanks for your kind words of support

[goodthanksandyou]

2. Kenny Rogers has provided a lot of joy to people with his music.

Have you provided a lot of joy to people with your music?




I didn't think so.

[talkingmime]

3. Yeah, but THAT gambler found an ace that he could keep.

[Bake]

4. But somewhere in the darkness, the gambler broke even!

24. Sometimes ya just gotta do what ya gotta do.

Includin' kicking the gun nutz off the porch!

[EvilAL]

5. Had to walk home?

You gotta know when to run.

[Duer 157099]

15. DUzy!

[EvilAL]

30. hi

[In_The_Wind]

7. I'll see your hand and show you mine.

I only slept two hours last night.

I'm glad you made it home.

Isn't there any way a dry cleaner can help your jacket?

[JustABozoOnThisBus]

12. A dry cleaner would probably charge a fortune to restore a suede jacket ...

... money that is better spent staking revenge at the next neighborhood poker game.

I was quoted $50 to clean a plain leather jacket. It was old and beaten, so I decided it didn't really need cleaning.

[In_The_Wind]

14. I think I paid $35 last Fall. Suede is difficult. If can be bushed, there's hope.

I really love my washable suede dark green full length cape.

8. Some advice from the three wise men...

9. I can certainly relate....

I've ruined a suede jacket and a favorite pair of shoes walking home in the rain...because I was too stubborn to accept an apology and a ride!

[In_The_Wind]

19. pffft

It wasn't raining but the fog was awfully wet that night in Georgia in '66.
Long walk from Hapeville to Forest Park. My father would have killed the guy!

[Honeycombe8]

26. He was on his way home from Candletop...been two weeks gone, & he thought he'd stop..

at Webbs and have him a drink, before he went home to HER.

[In_The_Wind]

27. It's really tough to be the dude that two chicks want! Huh!

What do you want me to say?
taterguy has always been my friend for years.

[Ikonoklast]

10. "That really sucks...to be you!"

"Hahahahaaaa!"

[taterguy]

13. Laugh while you can monkey boy

[Ikonoklast]

17. What's that you said, Aquaman?

What you gonna do, send a bad-tempered fish after me or something?


Oooh, look, I'm shaking!

[Honeycombe8]

16. You got to know when to fold 'em. nt

[petronius]

20. Don't blame Kenny - it wasn't his advice. He just told a story about a gambler

who gave him advice. And considering that (SPOILER WARNING)

that gambler ended up bumming cigarettes from strangers and dying on a freakin' train for god's sake, why would anyone assume that advice was any good?

[Bake]

23. It's worse than that!

I handed him my bottle, and he drank down my last swallow!

The fiend!

[madinmaryland]

21. Kenny Rogers is a dumbass???

[taterguy]

34. Yes

[siligut]

25. Neighborhood game?

What? Does your bike have a flat tire?

[taterguy]

32. Sold the bike to pay a gambling debt

That was another rough night.

[patricia92243]

28. lol - I bet Honeycombe8 likes this one :)

[Honeycombe8]

33. I do! (sadly, I thought I'd be saying "I do" to Taterguy for some other reason....) nt

[Aristus]

29. Sorry, taterguy; I'm siding with your ex on this one...

[bluedigger]

31. Kenny?

[hobbit709]

35. Walk? What did you do, bet your bike and lose that too?

[Spike89]

36. Actually horrible advice according to the pros

Not only do the successful poker players know exactly how much they have at all times, they have a pretty good idea of how much each and every person at the table has, how much they've won/lost, and how much that pleases/bothers them. Poker is ALL about getting every bit of info you can...willfully keeping yourself ignorant is not smart poker.
