When has Poker got you by the balls?

Thinking of a hand from last Friday in a traffic jam on the way to work today. Thought - "That's it. Got the bug."

You mean Sharon remembers your first name? When she comes to "know" mine she'll be calling me Dirk.

Well I recently had a conversation with my wife where I was trying to describe a hand that I played in the club - no not your A3h Dev - well after about 2-3 sentences she had to stop me as she had no idea of any of the terminology I was using. Might as well have been talking Greek.

Something like

Wife: So how did you get on last night (it's never that night as I come home so bloody late!)
Me: Not too bad, came 5th
Wife: Ah - how did you go out.
Me: Well I had Ace King suited in the hole and made a reasonable raise to 3 limpers and the big blind. I hit a set on the flop, check-raised a guy who eventually went all-in. He had top pair crap kicker but he had a possible straight draw. Then bang - he runner-runnered a straight on the river and my big slick set didn't hold up.
Wife: zzzzzz

That all seems very straight forward Chris. Which part did she have trouble with?

wanna be careful she doesn't think your having an affair....kinda sounds like some sort of jive-talkin' orgy.....with a disappointing ending i might add....

i started spotting poker hands in car number plates after a massive session. quite scary. noticing trips and straight draws all over place. when i finally get a car ill be buying it in Kilkenny!

Sounds like the start of a scene from Rounders.
