Last night was a fun night for me. I played Texas Hold 'em for the first time (at least, for money. It's not really playing when there's no money on the line and people are going all in on the first hand) with my step-mom, wife, brother, and step-brother.
I know that knowledge doesn't equal experience but there are a lot of people at work that talk daily about how they did at the tables the night before. One guy in particular is very good and has won thousands of dollars in the last two years playing Hold 'em and Blackjack. Anyway, they talk about strategies, how to play the cards, and how to play people (and not the cards). Well, I won the nights pot and have to attribute it to listening to the guys talk. I could tell when people were bluffing, trying to bully me, or trying to buy the pot. Now I'd like to take a night at the casino and find out whether I truly did learn something or I was just playing my family... either way, President Jackson and I are close friends now.
