I was gutted recently. Went to the effort of cleaning the table. Cleaning the chairs. Moving all the stuff from the shed to the inside of the house. Cleaning the room. Getting a scent defuser. Booking 11 people to play in a 10 handed game. To 24h before, having the game fall apart as one after another everyone cancelled.
I complained far and wide, and to different friendship circles and discovered I had more friends that play poker than I realised. I got my first game up 3 weeks later. Booked 9 and then had a 10th join at the last minute.
We’re all small fish, so 5¢/10¢ blinds @ $10 buy ins, but got my latest ceramics felted, saw my first royal flush with my naked eye (my wife too drunk to truly appreciate the gravity of her hand, winning over a full house), and even though we spent $100 on piazza, had an amazing night while finishing in the green.
