Beginner’s Luck

Right now it’s either very late or very early. It’s that time of night.

I got home less than an hour ago, after spending the evening with friends playing poker. Yes, poker. A real man’s game. And we played for money, too.

Before this evening I hadn’t played poker in years. (By which I mean, I had only played poker once, and it was a number of years ago. And there was no money on the line.) But I guess I had beginner’s luck tonight, as I did pretty well for myself, in fact almost doubling my stake.

I won four euro! Woo-hoo!

Okay, not exactly worthy of high-roller status I know, but please allow me this one little indulgence. Just this once.
