Once in a while, my friends get together to play Texas Hold ‘Em. It’s not the typical poker situation that you might see in movies. There are no smoke-filled rooms, not a lot of alcohol, and the buy-in for tournament-style play is only $5. Due to some luck, because I certainly don’t have the fine-honed skills, I walked away with $35.
I’ll be using my winnings to pick up a Wii game for my girlfriend who is having a difficult time with her under-performing fourth-graders this year.

Is she going to run a “smartest kid gets a Wii” contest? I would totally study harder for a Wii if I didn’t have one.
Punny: Neat idea, but I don’t think NYC Public Schools would go for it.
I need to go ahead and keep a Wii for myself. I miss the two I sold on ebay. Congrats on the poker winnings!
