When we got back to our home, the little poker game that we played the other night peaked my interest slightly so I decided to try to and find a free download of a poker game to play on my laptop. I did find one so I started playing it. I discovered quickly that my brother had us playing incorrectly. We were bascially playing Texas Hold'em w/o the "turn and the river" cards! It's amazing what hands you can come up with when you have two additional community cards to use.!
This PC poker game was pretty fun. It had players with their own betting style (which I never figured out) by the way. Usually I would go broke but only once during that 2 day Christmas break did I actually win. I think it was a ring game not a tournament. Seemed easy enough, however I never was able to win the game the after that. I still had no clue as to what kind of hand I needed in relation to betting, calling or folding. Pretty much still called or raised every hand. Folding was not in my vocabulary at the time.
During the next two weeks, I played the PC poker game, started rabidly consuming TV poker shows (more on that in my next post) and occasionally playing with real cards with my wife and son, although the real poker was slow and hard to figure out sometimes who won the pot. The PC game had spoiled me a bit with it's instant results and fast play.
