the neff brothers at the poker table

All three of us made it into town last night for Brian's Friday poker game. I guess he and his friends have been having this game for awhile, with usually no more than five or six people. Last night, along with two additional Neff's, about a dozen of his friends showed up. (Brian's house is large by California standards, but not by Las Vegas poker room standards.) After a few people were eliminated from the first table, they ended up starting a separate game, so we finished the night playing with about seven or eight people at a table. I shouldn't say "finished the night", because I didn't stay past 12:30. They were going to play another game, tournament-style, where the top three players from each table would play each other for the big money. John was staying at our parents' house with me, so he left shortly thereafter.

The games made me realize a little more thoroughly how complex a game poker really is, especially Texas Hold'em. I made it to 4th place in the first game, but I was barely in it, taking I think one pot the whole game. The second game didn't even last that long for me. Still fun, though. Maybe we'll get a family game going this weekend.
