Poker.... why? You brought her!

Our wonderful friend has offered to baby sit almost everytime I see her, and tonight was took her up on it. She babysat one other time for two hours so my wife could talk me to dinner for my birthday. Tonight we were invited to a Texas Hold 'Em tournament at someone's house nearby. Since we'd played in a free tournament over Christmas, the wife thought she could do as well as last time, so we went.

My best friend should've been there, but he didn't RSVP until about 24 hours before hand. We get to this guy's house and he has ~25 people and give tables set up. His laptop was jacked in to the HD TV and played the antes, blinds, and timer in giant flickeringly bright numbers telling us when we needed to pay more money and how much.

I started with pocket 10s, and my wife thought I was bluffing on the very first hand so she called me over 500 chips. Needless to say she was out within the first 10 minutes of the evening. So she sat there watching while I made it to the next table. Our friend who dragged us along and was the last man standing last month, was out quite early too. Once I was booted we stuck around and played at the loser's table for awhile and then rescued the babysitter.

Everything had gone well at home, but the baby would not lie still to have her diaper changed. J ended up chanding the baby standing up on top of the diaper table. And then she went to sleep without a peep, so all was well. My daughter is the best baby in the whole wide house!
