Poker is fun too

Everyone keeps using the Chinese New Year as an excuse to gamble. As far as I can remember, they've been playing poker since way before CNY, so I don't see any reason they should stop playing even though today is the last day of CNY.

Even the kids are not spared. All the kids at home are kaki judi. They start as early as 8 years old, and yes, they all know how to play mahjong too. Nobody taught them. Kids are really smart. All they do is watch, and when the table is available, they just find a gang of 4 and start doing their stuff. Luckily the kids gambling is limited to only the CNY period, unlike the adults.

For some reason it's quite common to hear people playing poker these days, compared to before. Is poker an 'adult' game? Highly likely. Probably because you gotta have so much capital and when you're still studying or during the early part of your career you can't afford to take a gamble on that much of money. Anyhow, I play a bit, and it's quite fun. I can't believe I lost so much to Ben the other night!! I really thought I had a good pair, but he got two :( It's nice to throw chips around, feel as if we are real high rollers haha. The other time we didn't have poker chips with us, so we played poker using groundnuts as chips. Each chip is RM 1. That was funny throwing peanuts around. My bf the weirdo gave away only the fat groundnuts, he wanted to keep his groundnut chips uniformly small....
