Texas hold 'em poker

One of the weekends before my exams we (Aiks, tots and Jc) signed up for a social poker tournament in at Glen organized by the ASEAN club. The entrance fee was 10 AUSD and the first prize was the xbox 360 and the second an Ipod Nano. The ASEAN club is not an international club its a Australian Born Chinese club.. Its damn irritating to see chinese that looks like you who talks with a slang. Somehow we Msians find ABCs damn bloody irritating. And the best thing is.. they say they are chinese but they cant speak a word of it..of any dialect. Oh well. But people there were quite friendly eventhough they sounded arrogant..but that my misconception.

The setup was very professional, they hired a few professional dealers and they had the huge digital display to tell you when the blinds are going to change and how much. There was the nice smooth carpeted tables with nice padded arm rest. It was a good atmosphere. Very tournament like.

Here a shot of me at the professional poker table with real heavy chips and trying to shuffle chips.. which i can now i think :)





Heres a a macro shot of the nice smoooth carpet that enables the cards to slide to an arrangement.




Unfortunately i didnt win, because i went all in on a pair of jacks and lost to a pair of kings.. oh well...it was a memorable experience to compete professionally.
