Las Vegas dream…
Tonight is our poker night again. I thought I would be off the hook tonight because hubby had 8 teeth removed yesterday - but no - he still wants to go and play. Nothing can stop him from playing his poker game. Last week when we were on our way to the game I had to pull the car over because he had to spew. He was feeling sick, but wanted to play nevertheless.
One of his biggest dreams is to become a professional poker player. I guess he is in love with the high rollers lifestyle; staying in fancy Las Vegas hotels and playing in poker tournaments. I can understand that it seems like a very attractive lifestyle, but we simply don’t have the bankroll to go with it.
Personally I am pretty happy to just play the freebie tournaments and win booze or diner vouchers. Maybe one day when we have a bit more cash we can go to Las Vegas and play some poker there. For now he just gonna have to do with free tournaments and internet poker.

I can attend that playing poker in Vegas is waaayyy different than any home game or online. I ended up playing blackjack almost the entire time as it was easier for me to stay ahead or keep at least somewhat even. You do have to know when to walk away though when you are on a losing streak which I did. I can’t believe your husband was functional after having 8 teeth removed the day prior though. I’d be dead to the world.

Yeah, I thought I’d have the night off after they pulled the teeth out. He’s just a hardcore poker player I guess.
