Four of a Kind !

Due to a sudden impulse generated at around 2 AM tonight, brought about by extreme luck at a Poker game, I decided to start blogging. I know this first line sounds odd; so allow me to fill you in. Of late, I have been thinking about blogging, inspired by several friends who are active bloggers. However, I always held myself back, citing reasons such as lack of content or creativity or just plain laziness. Hoping that this surge of enthusiasm will last me through to the final word, I will elaborate on my comment about the Poker game. It being a Saturday night, I got together with my friends to play our usual game of Poker. Every Poker game is a 'full-house' of 11 people, but due to the absence of a chip donor and 3 others, we had to play with a reduced number of chips per person and just 7 people in all. The first game went on as usual and I managed to pull through to the end (the top 3) with a few decent wins, and a sizeable amount. The second round of games started off slow, and one of the aggressive betters started off by winning a big hand. Thinking that I was doomed, especially since I've lost to him several times in the past, I was quite apprehensive about the future of my plays until the unexpected happened !!! A new round started, and I looked at my cards to discover a pair of Kings. Thrilled, but unfortunately unable to express myself, I bet as I thought wise. The flop revealed spades and the chance of a flush was looming. But I decided to take my chance and continued to play with the presence of a King in the flop. Hoping that no one has better than 3 Kings, I began betting aggressively. One of the players was already all-in due to lack of funds to bet further. The other player was also betting huge amounts with a pair of 9's. The turn card revealed another 9 and she was in with 3-of-a-kind too. I still had a better chance of winning the pot, until the river card happened.Lo ! it was another King. Amazed at my luck and deciding to capitalize on it, I decided to slowly lure the other player into the game. She was high on the occurrence of a full-house, but little did she realise, the wonder that I possessed. I bet and she bet and finally she was all-in. When it was time to claim the pot, I did so without further ado, revealing the Four-of-a-kind that I had with me. No one expected it and this was a first time in our Poker games. I am still quite surprised with those cards, and if you play Poker you will understand my excitement. I must add that I ended the second game by winning it all.However in the end the magic belonged to those 4 Kings !
