Egypt

As you would expect not much to say about Egypt here on a poker site. Just this one little story.

Around a month ago I was playing $1/$2 at the local casino. Late at night and down to 6 handed. Table was pretty friendly a couple of regulars there I'd played with a few times in the past. I was totally card dead and facing raises pretty much every hand.

At this point pretty much every hand was straddled. ok except I was down on the evening and not feeling like straddling. I would have done a token straddle if I'd been up at least $100 but I was down. So I'm UTG and one of the others is telling me to straddle. I kind of shrug I don't want to. Then 2 spots to my right this regular Vincent chimes up in a deadpan voice "that guy would go to Egypt before he straddled." It was funny at the time and still funny now thinking about it.

So now once or twice a day with Egypt always on the news I think of Vincent and have a little smile.
