Bunko?? I don't think so....

Roughly 3 or 4 times a year a bunch of the guys from work get together for a tournament style, Texas Hold'em, Poker night. Last night it was held here at our house, which is conveniently 2 miles from the office. We had 15 players at 2 tables. One guy talks a lot a smack and for some reason has an excess of luck when it comes to poker, so one of the other players offered a $20 bounty for taking this guy out of the game. Gib was very interested and was watching me play, wishing he could join in the big boys game. Turns out that one of the players at my table had to leave, so he went "all in" expecting to lose, but ends up doubling his stack. Still he had to leave so we decided to let Gib take over his spot. Talk about excited! I was the first one out, so I got to watch Gib play. He did very well, thanks to the Hoyle computer card game he used to play all the time. Anyhow, Gib ends up taking out the guy that had a bounty on his head and pocketed $20. One of the guys immediately emailed everyone at the office from his blackberry announcing that Jon was taken out by a 12 yr old. It was great. As players fell out, the game was consolidated to a table of 10 and Gib was still in the mix. He was going strong, but ended up losing most of his chips on a hand that he held pocket Aces, but the other player pulled a hand of three fives on the river card. Gib ended up in 6th place out of 15. Chrissie said Gib better not end up in Gamblers Anonymous.
