Brian Waiting for Poker
Posted on January 3, 2006 by Ching under Poker.
We went to Heroes tonight to try and qualify for the Big Boys Toy Show poker tournament on Saturday. They were only taking the first 80 players so we barely got in.
As luck would have it, I got stuck at work until almost six o’clock. Brian is yelling at me on the phone because I’m not there and he can’t sign me up.
At least my place of work was only a couple of minutes away. I got lucky and found a car leaving so I took their parking spot. I hurried to Heroes so I could fall in line. Guess what. I was the last one in.
This elderly lady I spoke with today (the reason I got stuck at work) told me that I had blessings coming my way and that I should start counting them because they are coming. I figured that quickly finding a parking spot was a blessing and getting registered for the poker game was a blessing instead of just the usual lucky coincidence. Too bad the blessings didn’t continue. I didn’t get any playable cards all night. Needless to say, I didn’t qualify.
Brian got knocked out and I lost my desire to hang around. I got knocked out shortly after. I’m hoping I can talk Brian into going with me again tomorrow. They’re taking 80 players at Heroes and another 80 players at America’s Pub. Come out and play with us.
