Texas Hold Em

You gotta know when to hold em and you gotta know when to fold em…

Today was a great day to learn how to play Texas Hold Em!  I am a little bit embarrassed to say that I have never played Texas Hold Em before.  Sure I've wandered and or stumbled my way through a few casinos in my days but I've never sat down at those poker tables!  And when people got together to play cards and friends houses, I think I was more interested in chatting and playing other games than poker so I've never played!   Today, the Not Mommies group - which is not being called the No Kid-ing group - had a poker lesson!   One of the ladies Cathy plays 4 to 5 nights a week - there are a ton of leagues here in China that I had no clue about and so she plays a lot and was actually willing to teach some newbies.   By the end of the afternoon I was feeling pretty good at my poker skills.  However we weren't exactly playing for money and the chips were free!  I think I'll keep practicing and maybe in June I'll be ready for Potawatomi!

This what the cheat sheet Cathy made on the order of highest to lowest winning hands!
