Casino Bound

I am not a big gambler type, but we enjoy visiting a casino a few times a year. Our game of choice now is video poker. The odds of winning on these machines versus the other slot machines are a little better (relatively speaking, since slot machines are the worst odds). Plus, the machine is such an anonymous venue. But the lure of a traditional poker game has always been there for me. Maybe its the ambience of the green felt, the clay chips, the colorful cards, and the mystery associated with every hand and every player across the table from you.

It is certainly not for everyone, I still believe that some people are just luckier than others. Maybe when all else fails, you fire up that big, nasty stogie to distract the others! The occassional shot of whiskey or tequila certainly helps when you're losing.
