Childish games: First Date #2

"You can discover more about a person in an hour of play than in a year of conversation" -Plato

J and I had a Game Night but all the games we played were from our child hood. J picked the first game and it was the card game WAR. At the time I didn't ever remember playing as a kid but now 24 hours later I do remember playing with my brother on the floor in either one of our rooms. For those of you who don't know what WAR is take a quick moment and google it. The game took about 20 or so minutes to play through because it was just the two of us. J is a sore loser and since I won I picked the next game. Sticking with the card game theme I chose poker. You might be thinking is that really a kids game? It was for me. I learned how to play poker when I was 11 yrs old with my grandfather and we always played with money. Mind you we used penny's, nickel's, dimes, and quarters. On the rare but high stake stance dollar bills. The dollar bills only occurred after my grandfather had a few drinks in him and he was losing to us kids. My brother is about 3 yrs younger then me and I'm sure it hurt my grandfathers pride to be losing to a couple of kids. My bro and I would clean him out on a regular basis. I think we would come home with $100 dollars combined from our winnings in just poker.

J brags on a regular basis about how good he is in poker and Texas hold'em. Especially for days after a successful tournament at a co-workers house where he was in the top 3 and came home with $$$. Needless to say J was all for the game switch since his choice didn't go in his favor. We started with a few hands of 5 card draw but after I had WON every single hand we switched to Texas hold'em. J said "Now this is my game" and I let him deal the first hand. Guess what?!!?!?!?!? I WON AGAIN! I don't normally brag this much but I was pretty proud of myself.  At the end of our date this is how the score looked.

WAR:

J: 0             ME:1

Poker 5 card draw:

J:0              ME:4

Texas Hold'em:

J:1              ME:6

J said that I need to play in Vegas. I just laughed at him because I'm to cautious for that. We weren't playing for money and didn't talk about the kids during this date. We talked about our childhood and only positive memories. All in all not a bad "First Date"

This Date Cost:

$00000

Just our time
