Poker can be an educational experience.

HoldEmLesson.jpg

I was playing hold'em on Facebook recently, and learned something new in the process.

I had a pair of queens, so I'm feeling good. The flop comes, and it's a three, queen and ten, so I'm feeling even better. I start raising, but not crazy enough to drive anyone away. Then I notice a conversation between two of the players. The guy was hungover and having a screwdriver, and the girl was baked...so this could get interesting. She starts talking about how she got high because she's in pain. She thinks she busted a rib last night while she was dancing. He laughs alot, asks how, and she says "doing Soulja Boy". Now i'm thinking what the hell is Soulja Boy? So after I was done playing, I googled it, and learned all about this new teenage rapper,who does a dance that people do at parties...prety cool dance too.

So if anyone ever asks why you would waste time playing online poker, tell them it can be a very educational experience. For example, I learned that if I watch two people having a conversation, I may not notice three of the cards on the table are clubs. And also not wonder why the baked girl is calling me when I go all in on the river. What I did already know though, is that a flush beats three of a kind, and I don't like being laughed at by baked teenagers.

After the jump, that dumb-ass dance.
