POKER

I would consider myself a poker buff. I enjoy poker. I like to play, watch, listen to and read about poker.
I had no idea the World Series of Poker was currently under way in Las Vegas. Not only that but it's about half way through. I never really paid too much attention to the World Series other than watching it on ESPN. When it is televised most of what you see is Hold'em and that's all I really assumed they did. I just found out they play a ton of variety of poker games and a lot of them are extremely "tricked-up". Have you ever heard of H.O.R.S.E. poker? What about Omaha? Or Razz? Try adding a high-low split 8 or better.
I think I need to play more poker!
(and I need a sugar momma to bankroll my buy-ins)

Our new children are considered long-term placements and we are working hard to incorporate them into our family and to adjust our family to them. I may occasionally post photos of them but I feel I should not use their actual names due to issues I will not discuss.
