Mel came over to the office last night for a game of poker with the locals. Lots of great hands, at the end I was up 1,300 units. That was down from a nice haul because of a run-in with George who I was sure was bluffing. Oh, well. Dalbir was both the big winner and loser. He finished the evening up 2,700, but that was about half of the stack he had in the middle of the night. He went on a loose tear in the last couple of hands and lost a bundle. I ended up taking Mel out of the game after he made a fearless all-in call. I had a flush, but it was nowhere near the nuts and it was a tough call to make. It took me so long that Josh complained afterwards that we needed to pick up the pace.
After the game Mel and I went to see The Cooler, which I thought was good but a bit predictable. The nomination of Alec Baldwin is well deserved, he plays a complex and rich character and he pulls it off.
