4+ Hours of "heads up" Hold 'em

Well, we had our first soft attendance poker night in quite some time last night. Until around 10, there were four people playing $1/$2 No Limit. Jeff was having a rough night and finally cashed out around the 10 o'clock timeframe. Dave was whining about the wife's good graces and only played a few hands after Jeff left, but he was nice enough to lose all the chips in front of him on his way out the door. So there we were, Rick and me. We played "heads up" with $5 antes for a little over 4 hours. It's typically not something that I enjoy, but between friends the competition and the banter was alot of fun. It is especially fun if you end up with more chips than you had when you started the heads up play. It wasn't a huge victory but I was catching cards for a while. Normally it is Rick catching the cards, so it was very nice for a change to actually draw out on him. All in all, it was alot of fun.

For you whimps that didn't show up, there's always next time!
