I'm a Big Stud

This morning I got bored playing donkaments and just wandered in and around Pokerstars and saw a familiar game, 7 card Stud. This is the first game I have learned to play growing up in the Philippines, I visited my cousin in Olongapo City and there I saw a group of old and retired US Navy peeps playing this game. I observed and learned the game, my cousin told me to sit down and it was like baptism of fire, luckily I kept getting trips and flushes that I won $10 on the session which is pretty big during that time.

Fast forward to present time, I used to grind this game at HAwaiian Gardens but I got tired of the big casino rake and smelly old farts playing Stud. One funny thing I encountered playing Stud was when the casino was full and this young guy sat down and thought he was playing Hold em game, he asked, "Dealer, why did you show one of my cards", we all laugh and the poor kid stood up and left. This is so great, I can play Stud at home, it must have been a big undertaking for the programmers to get this game going online.

Anyway, I was surprised to learn from National Enquirer(you know they are never wrong) that my friend Chuck Norris was supposed to be going to Somalia to hunt down Somali pirates but Human Right Activist protested saying that would be too cruel. Instead, Chuck is stuck in India working as a call center tech support agent, bad economy is sure affecting everybody.
