My New Knife

So I went out tonight to get away from the dorm and to see some fireworks. Anchorage was throwing a party to celebrate Alaska's 50th year of statehood, plenty of news cameras to wave at. I threw up the Vulcan sign to one newscrew.

But anyway, I found these 5 guys playing 5-card Poker in a place near the mall. I asked if I could get in: "50.00 buy in, man." "Sounds good." I was doing good - not great, but acceptable. Well a few rounds later 4 of these guys folded, it comes down to me and this fellow with a high-n-tight cut. Obvious what he was from the start, even before I noticed the cut. The pot is about 300.00 and he was so confident that he would take me out that he threw this on the table:



Straight > 2-pair.
