a realization after a lunch movie

It was after lunch! Just had Jollibee delivered and finished a chicken spaghetti meal. YUMMY! I was just watching Daniel Craig's Casino Royal in star movies.. I'm in the part where they were playing Texas Hold 'em Poker, the last buy-ins. If you haven't seen the movie, they're playing with real money (millions of dollars) and with real players, unlike me, just virtually! hehe

They were just 4 at the table. With James Bond (of course), 2 millionaires and the villain (i dunno who). The flop was an ace of diamonds, 5, 6 , 8 and an ace of spades. After the last card was open, everybody went "all in". Of course, some made the confident look, some showed their Poker Faces.. It was a very intense game! Again, they we're betting with lots and lots of money! In millions!!! Imagine that!

So the 1st gentleman showed his hand, he had a king and queen of spades. His hand was good, making a flush. A sure win, but not quite.

Then it was the 2nd gentleman's turn to show his cards. He had a pair of 8's.. making a fullhouse of Ace to 8's. Good hand, indeed.. But not quite!

Then show the cards of the villain. He had an ace and a 6. A much more higher fullhouse, having 3 aces and a pair of 6's. Nice! He almost had the $146 M of the pot.

But of course, Mr. Bond will make sure he will not lose this. He showed his cards.. then BAM! Showed a 7 and 4 of spades. A very remarkable hand! He makes a Straight flush! A much higher that fullhouse! to make this story short, Mr. Bond won the pot and gave half a million tip to the dealer!

MORAL OF THE LESSON: learn how to deal and get a poker dealer's job. you might be lucky to have a Mr. Bond playing in your table and tip you half a mill dollars! Its now or never.. And don't say i didn't advice you!
