Texas Hold Em

Got invited to a live in person hold em game this weekend

I was the oldest one there by about 10 years, but everyone was over 24 (although some looked younger than 20...)

This group gets together once a month, 25 bucks to enter...usually about 20 people play.
this time there were 23.
what was real neat is they did a new thing for them and first time I had seen it.
a "bounty"
it was 25 to enter and then an additional 5 bucks
the 5 bucks bought you a bounty chip.
if you were the one that takes some one out of the tournament you got there bounty chip.
when someone took you out they got yours, but not any you had won.
so if you took out 3 people then someone took you out, you still kept the 3 you had won.
for each chip you had when you went out you got 5 bucks!
Made the game that much funner.

One guy wanted to do a high hand of the night bet, 5 bucks a person and whoever gets the best hand of the night wins all. ties would split. I voted no, for 2 reasons, one I had just met these people and wasnt sure how they all played..and second was thinking of E.Mcphan, you could end up in a 6 way arguement and the winner might be the one with the biggest feet or something.
And then, the highest hand was 4 10's with an ace all up on the board and 3 of us split the pot...so according to "E" the lawyer would get it or some crazy rule like that...coulda been ugly, lucky we didnt do the high hand side bet.

I ended up getting 3rd in the tournament won 70 bucks for 3rd plus 5 for taking one guy out.

sure was nice to play with people that didnt take it too serious but were playing smart...would rather play with the family but this will do.
