Today I won my first ever poker game. It wasn’t the first game I’ve ever played, not by a long shot, but I’m pretty certain it was the first one I’ve won.
I’m not a good poker player; my short attention span is usually my downfall. I bet sensibly for around an hour or so, then get bored or frustrated and throw in all my chips in an extravagant (yet foolish) fashion. This time was no different, but it just so happened that when the impulse became too much for me and I slid all my chips into the centre of the table with a manic gleam in my eye the cards were actually in my favour.
So I am now the proud possessor of roughly £14 of my friend’s money. This increase in my personal wealth is nothing however compared to the satisfaction, pride and sense of wellbeing I feel as my ranking on the “Ey up†leader board takes a dramatic leap upwards into third place. And my mother thought she was proud when I graduated University, just wait until she sees this!
