Pearland Poker!

Hiya! I got to play a little Pearland Poker on FRiday night and had a greeat time! I played at Jason and Mary's house (hi Jason and Mary!) and I always really enjoy myself there. Good people. Casual, fun game. Just wish the stakes were higher...oh well story of my life.
I bought in for $100 and proceeded to loose most of it on the very first hand. i had K8, the other guy had AA. The flop came KK9. I bet pretty big, it wasnt like i slow played it or anything. I'm sitting pretty with trip kings. Then of course the turn is and A. :( On the hand I think i lost about $60 total, i was down to $40 so i rebought another $50. I lost another chunk when i flopped a straight and a guy caught runner runner for a full house. blah. so here i am down to about $30-$40. At this point i wanted to flip a coin for my stack. i was feeling really gambly. No one wanted to play. So i decided to just hunker down and try and grind my stack back up. I played to the very end of the night even when we were 4 handed and somehow i managed to cash out at like $168. Not much profit but i had a blast and i was pleased that i did not book a loss.
I really want to start hosting a regular game at my house. I know i just need to throw it up on poker campus and make it happen. I'm gonna do it...soon.
