I am a poker winner! I won an iPhone

Every Sunday afternoon, My outlook express beeps at exactly 4:55 pm informing me that a poker tournament is about to start. Playing at adda52.com has become a ritual now and Sunday is the big day when they give the biggest prizes. So MR. OUTLOOK has been instructed to inform me on all Sunday afternoons that I have to spare this one hour to play the game I have come to love.

It was merely 5:02 and just the second game on my table when I saw A and 3 of Spades as my hole cards. I simply played on. The flop was 2 4 5 Spades and I jumped from the sofa. I had hit a straight flush. The first straight flush i ever hit in my life. Adda52.com's newest promotion guarantees an iPhone to any player who hits a straight flush in their Sunday finals.

Chuck the poker probabilities off, I had just hit the winning deal. I couldn't contain the excitement and the most useless #$%^&*(#$%&^ XYZ's that I never speak otherwise were the only things I said. Mohit immediately turned the computer to his end and saw the lovely spades combo and said, ' You won me an iPhone, sweets!'

Greedy men! I decided not to react to that and simply enjoy my moment. The rest of the tournament  went about in a trance and somebody won the cash prizes. But I had hit the big jackpot. I could now chuck the Samsung Galaxy and display my new, swanky, iPhone4. Finally my second Apple device was on its way and all thanks to playing poker.

When I started playing poker three years back, it was merely for fun. For meeting other poker enthusiasts. and for eating and having fun. Serious poker came last year and this year has seen a interesting twist to my poker destiny. Poker is rewarding as I have learnt recently. It is too early to say that I wish I can become a full poker professional some day but winning a poker tournament for the first time is a big deal and I am ecstatic.

The next blog post will be written from my new iPhone4g, so till next time...
Shuffle Up and Deal!
