    Thinking of a hand from last Friday in a traffic jam on the way to work today. Thought - "That's it. Got the bug."

    You mean Sharon remembers your first name? When she comes to "know" mine she'll be calling me Dirk.

    Well I recently had a conversation with my wife where I was trying to describe a hand that I played in the club - no not your A3h Dev ;) - well after about 2-3 sentences she had to stop me as she had no idea of any of the terminology I was using. Might as well have been talking Greek.

    Something like

    Wife: So how did you get on last night (it's never that night as I come home so bloody late!)
    Me: Not too bad, came 5th
    Wife: Ah - how did you go out.
    Me: Well I had Ace King suited in the hole and made a reasonable raise to 3 limpers and the big blind. I hit a set on the flop, check-raised a guy who eventually went all-in. He had top pair crap kicker but he had a possible straight draw. Then bang - he runner-runnered a straight on the river and my big slick set didn't hold up.
    Wife: zzzzzz

    That all seems very straight forward Chris. Which part did she have trouble with? :)

    wanna be careful she doesn't think your having an affair....kinda sounds like some sort of jive-talkin' orgy.....with a disappointing ending i might add....

    i started spotting poker hands in car number plates after a massive session. quite scary. noticing trips and straight draws all over place. when i finally get a car ill be buying it in Kilkenny!
