Today's Track : Bob Marley - Buffalo Soldier
So there I was playing texas holdem at the Casino and for a brief moment and the first time it's happened to me, I got flustered at the table. Here's a little background info about holdem before I get into the story. In holdem there's two ante's or blinds as they call it. One is a small blind and one is a big blind. The big bind is whatever the starting bet is. The small blind is half the starting bet. In order to continue playing, you have to match the bet of the big blind (in poker lingo "calling" a bet). So I'm sitting there playing with 9 other people and this fat lady decides to sit down at our table to my right. As the dealer is moving the marker (determines who's the dealer and who's blind) to the next position, this fat lady turns to me and says, "Am I Blind?" Without thinking I turned to her and said, "Yes, you're big." For a brief moment I was quite embarrassed for the lady and myself. I swear the rest of the table was about to lose their poker faces as well. At least I didn't make the situation worse by correcting myself.
fat lady - "Am I blind?"
shaky - "Yes, you're big."
fat lady - "What did you just say?"
shaky - "You're big boned...I mean big blind!"
table - *looks at shaky*...*silence*
shaky - *looks at his pair of aces* "umm...I fold."
Needless to say the night didn't start off well and 8 hrs later I was in the red about $60.
