Pia-Gow

Ever since Bryan came back from Las Vegas and talked about pia-gow I have wanted to play. Mike got to play last year. So I had my mind set out to give it a try.
We all piled into the van Sunday afternoon and hit the Sandia Casino.
The 1 pia-gow table was full so I settled down to a 5 cent haywire game. It had a MINI tv in the corner so I could at least watch my Bulls. Mike got a call from Andy there were openings at pia-gow. I got over there after I lost my $10. I watched Andy and Jeremy play for about 20 minutes and Andy gets up. He tells me to sit down. My knees are shaking and my hands are sweating. I have never played at a table with chips. The bet was minimum 15 and the Maximum said 3000 so I asked Andy how hard can it be with a $30.00 limit. After he stopped laughing he whispered "That's three thousand" I almost wet my pants. Picture this - the guy in seat 2 looks like he was born in pia-gow and talked way too fast for anyone to hear him. He liked to "be the bank" and bet really big. Jeremy was in the 3 seat and I was in 4. The lady next to me looked like she slept there and could use a deordorant and her husband was seated 6 and needed some tooth paste. Yuck! The last seat had a couple sharing the seat if ya know what I mean. The dealer was switched out three times. Stephanie, Jackie, and then Eric. Everyone was really nice and I had an awesome time. Of Course I won!!!
Andy placed a bet on me and I won for him too.
