Last night was good for me at the poker table. I was doing pretty well, but the last hand put me way up over the top. We were playing a game called Oma-draw, which is Omaha but you can draw up to two cards after the flop. The flop was three fours. Everyone took two cards. I joked that everyone was looking for the fourth four. And when I looked at my hand I had it, woo hoo! So I had the nut and two more cards were coming to rake some more money out of everyone. Winsha was already all in. Mel caught pocket kings and Joe got pocket aces, the third and second best hands respectively. As you can imagine, much overbetting and all-in'ing ensued and I ended up with $50 of the $70 on the table. Sweet.
After that we packed it in and watched Heroes. I like that it's finally getting some real plot action going, but the whole Samurai stuff is really jarring. It's pretty clear that the Englishman is going to die (or something) and Hiro is going to have to take over and turn into a real Samurai, so that he can wear the black coat, but damn it's a long setup.
