Playing with fellow employees

Just last night I played poker with fellow employees for the first time. Was it weird?  You bet. Was it easy? Definitely.

Overall, the people I work with are a bunch of lunatics!  Working at a supermarket, the ages ranged from 18-45. Since these oldies are no high rollers, we only played a 10 dollar buy in game in which 12 players played.

Since I was the only one who knew anything about structure and poker tournaments I set up two tables in the break room, 6 players to a table we got underway.

I couldn’t tell if these people were tired from a long day, or just plain donkey. At first, I was folding middle pair; however, as time went on I was re rising with Ace high.

In the end, it was extremely fun.  They are a bunch of good people who really can be cool.  The best part wasn't even the poker. It was the gossip on the managers!  AHAHA, what great times.

Have you ever played with your fellow employees?  You should definitely try it after closing hours.  You will get to know them better, and even gain more (or less) respect for them.

All in all i finished the tournament in 3^rd, good for my buy in plus 7 bucks (We had a math genius to sort things out).  My JJ got busted by A2 and I packed up and left the desolate break room... My shirt was sweaty... Not from working but more so the fact that I had to play shorthanded with 2 middle age women and one 75 year old grandpa!

 Good look everyone... on the virtual felt, regular felt, and working felt.
