I flopped, I dropped
Saturday night I played in the annual Flop 'Till You Drop charity poker tournament at Club One Casino, headed by city councilman and mayoral candidate Mike Dages -- and boy, did I flop. But at least I left with a story to tell.
Last year I made it to the final two tables. This year ... not so much. I was the first person out at my table and, I think, the second person overall. I attribute this not so much to my own poker skills*, but to the company at my table.
How's this for a poker game? To the left of me: former sheriff Hal McKinney, real estate developer Terence Frazier, Club One owner Kyle Kirkland and Janet Dages, the city councilman's wife. To the right of me: judge candidate Glenn LoStracco. Right next to me: Jerry Yang, the 2007 World Series of Poker champion.
With those credentials around me, I can't be too mad about going out quick. At least I won the one hand that I was in with Yang. So for the rest of my life, this gives me the right to say, "Oh, Jerry Yang, the World Series of Poker champion? Yeah, I beat that dude."

Hey Mike, can't win them all, but at least you beat Yang in a showdown!
