my first texas hold 'em victory

I won my first Texas Hold 'em game.  It was at our department Christmas party.  We had a very nice lasagna lunch and bottle exchange... The we got down to business with a poker game.

Rachael would have been a formidable opponent...  she had me worried from the beginning... but the cards just didn't favor her.

Jennifer was vicious.. too vicious.. and it cost her.

Chuck was tenacious.. a wolf in sheep's clothing... but the wolf got flushed (I think it was a flush that took him out).

Out of all of us, Kevin has apparently watched more Texas Hold 'em on ESPN and The Travel Channel, so he was our commentator.

I was very patient.. folding around 8 or 10 hands in the middle game... then with my outstanding natural skill and lack of any visible tells.. lured Kevin into going all in against my Full House.. 3 Jacks and 2 threes...

We celebrated with Fuller's Extra Special Bitter.  The picture is of Kevin, some Dead Guy Ale and Paulner (sp?) Hefeweizen (sp?) ... taken with my phone cam... so that's why its a little fuzzy.
