Se7en Game Tables
Badminton is a sport which I considered as one of the best forms of exercise. Playing badminton keeps me feeling well, strong, motivated, enthusiastic and young. It helps me to ward off stress, enjoy a better sleep and increase my self-esteem more. Unexpectedly, it introduced me to poker! It is sufficient to say that friendships introduce new hobbies. Hence, poker. This is not going to be a full-blown poker story, so I shall write as little as possible about poker, which is a pleasant subject for men.
Poker sessions usually happen after our badminton game at Erco Sports Center. The first four players almost always are Jose Luis, owner of the poker set, Kirby, Siegfred and Earl (a.k.a. Bombi). The poker table that they’ll use would either be square-shaped or round-shaped, whichever is vacant near the pool table or in front of the badminton courts. They wish to have one of the poker tables that look like the one shown below. I’m pretty sure they’ll love the integrated corner cupholders (for their beers). For poker 101, Jose Luis taught us that poker is a card game wherein a player bets that the value of his hand (read: held cards) is greater than that of the hands held by other players. He said that each subsequent player must either equal or raise the bet or drop out. And if you knew the right sort of things (e.g., bluffing tactic) to use to your advantage, the main result is that you become rather a player holding the highest hand at the end of the betting than otherwise and wins the pot! This is what I like most aside from holding with me a five of a kind, royal flush, straight flush, four of a kind, full house or flush.
