So I am going to my first poker night this weekend. I've always wanted to go to a poker night and keep intending to hold my own, but never get around to it. Poker nights always sound so cool: alcohol, cigars, and friendly competition....hmmm lots of fun...

I have never played poker before, so I thought I'd better learn how to play.

Now, after reading the rules I am a little concerned. Poker is so not my game!You have to remember things! while drinking! and trying to be sociable!!!! Now I love drinking, but I can't remember things and drink and talk to people all at the same time. I will just end up skipping the "remembering" part. It also seems like you need to pay attention and not go off into your own little dream world. I am always going off into my own little dream world. And I am not looking forward to the whole betting/money/counting/competition/losing thing...I can see me folding the whole night...
