JACKPOT!!!!!

So recently my husband and I went to play some poker. We always put our names on the board to be called, and I almost always go second when a seat is available. I am not sure why I do this. So a few weeks ago, we go to the casino and when they called my husband’s initials to go, he asked me, “do you want to go first or me?” As usual, I told him that he could go. He went on his way and I was seated shortly after. I was sitting two tables away and could see him!
Just as I was warming up to the people at my table, I hear no one other than my husband’s loud roar! I turn around in my seat and see him with both arms raised in victory and yelling. Everyone at his table were giving high-fives. I quickly folded my hand and ran to him to see…could it be???
YES! His table hit a jackpot!!!!!! Oh my gosh….this was the very first time that one of us were at a table that hit. This is the main reason my husband likes to play poker at the casino. The jackpots always increase until someone wins, and on certain nights, they have Double Jackpot! Guess what…that night was one of those nights. Yes, the red light was flashing and they just hit a double jackpot for $30,000. Oh how it would have bee nice if my husband were the one with the large share, but we didn’t mind either way.
The jackpots are split 50, 25, 25. This means that the losing hand gets 50%, the winning hand gets 25%, and the rest of the players share the last 25%. So the winner took home $14,000 and my husband took home $1250. But we were sooooo happy. I think no one was happier than my husband though. He was dancing around the poker room and being his loud and crazy self. From his actions, you would have thought he won the $14,000. The man who won that just sat there and looked all gloomy.
We have been close, but close does not count. My husband finally accomplished what he has wanted for about 11 years…a jackpot. And just think, if I would have took the first seat, as he offered it to me, I could have won.  Oh well, maybe better luck next time.
