HOW I MET THE DOG

HOW I MET THE DOG

Playing online is the normal way most people pick up poker and learn yet playing live poker with real people next to you is an experience any player needs. As my confidence grew I started visiting our local Grosvenor Casino to see what was on offer and was pleasantly surprised to find a very vibrant and busy group of players where a game was available virtually every night of the week. My 3rd visit gave me my 1st sucess and 1st final table and from then I was always at ease and comfortable in what alot of people find a daunting atmosphere.
One of my regular Thursday night visits I found myself out of the main tournie and decided to join a very noisy cash game that had started. Sitting down with my chips I found myself sitting next to a very young looking lad who was obviously worse the wear for drink and very loud and aggressive. I dont normally like this but there was something about this lad that I found amusing and interesting and as such spent the next couple of hours intrigued with. He had me cringing at times and laughing yet at no time did I think he was a pissed up dickhead. A couple of times I did make certain comments I remember but only in the interests of him as I felt he was getting a little bit carried away. I eventually left and the following week entered my normal Thursday night tournie to only be sat next to this same lad. As I sat down I looked at him and said " You sober this week?" He gave me a very strange look and in a very quiet voice said " aye but do I know you? " After I explained the previous week which he struggled to recall we got on with the tournie and spent the next few hours chatting normally and even at the break cracked on abit on various things. A special friendship was launched from then on which at the time I was to have no idea would happen. I leave it there for now with further exploits of what happened next to follow !
