Poker as a School Girl
Posted on February 21, 2005 by Ching under Poker.
It doesn’t work either. I play tight, I get knocked out. I play loose, I get knocked out. Absolutely nothing has worked for me. So I decided on Saturday that I would dress in a school girl outfit to play poker on Sunday. Well, apparently that doesn’t work either. Jason says that I didn’t use my costume to its full potential because I didn’t play the part and do the “Hee, hee, hee.. I’m so clueless at this game.. This is the first time I’ve played.. Am I doing it right? Giggles.. Giggles..” APL guy Brian suggested playing “crazy monkey poker” (whatever that means). On Saturday Jason had me read this Bluff article on the way to lunch. It was written by Annie Duke. She was saying that females have an advantage over male poker players because men tend to think with their other brain sometimes. The idea is to take advantage of the “flirters” and to provoke anger and irritation from the “chauvinists” which will help one distract their opponents from their game. Easier said than done. I think it’s because I’m too self-conscious to be anyone else. The outfit was pretty easy, though. I am always adventurous when it comes to clothing anyway. I knew I got it right when Jason’s first reaction was, “Why did you LET her wear that? I was only joking yesterday.” In my defense and taking pride in his accomplishment, Brian retorts “I helped her dress!” Jason goes, “I can’t even look at you!” Well, that’s what you get. I’m pretty impressionable so I’ll go with anything. With me, you really have to be careful what you wish for because I’ll do it. They asked for it! At the coliseum I stuck out like a sore thumb among the hundreds of poker players. Jason had to give me props on the outfit. Even in the parking lot I was getting looks. Inside he commented on the fact that we had yet to pass a group of men who didn’t look our way. I’m thinking they’re probably confused, wondering what the hell I’m doing there. I can surmise that they’re probably saying to themselves, “Is she lost? This is a poker tournament.” That aside, Jason ran into his friend Gary right before lunch. Gary was one of the organizers of the poker tournament that Jason won. Remember when he won $950 for first place? That tournament. I think I may have written about it in the other blog. So Jason was telling Gary how his friend’s wife read the Annie Duke article in the most recent issue of Bluff Magazine and decided to dress up today. Gary was like “Dude, have you seen the Asian girl dressed as a school girl?” To which Jason could only reply, “Yup.. That would be her.” I don’t know if I was a source of embarrassment for everyone or a source of amusement. I seriously hope it’s the latter. I just want to have fun. I don’t want people to be embarrassed to be seen with me. Yikes! Yeah, I’m a character alright. Speaking of character, I think I may be a character in a local poker show. They had me wired with a mic and followed me around with a camera on Saturday. I was pretty boring, though, so I’m not sure if I’ll make the cut. It would be cool if I do. I’ll keep you all posted.
