 A: "Hey Jack¹. What did you do last weekend?"

B: "Josh had a bunch of guys over at his house and we played poker²."

A: "Why didn't you guys call me?"

B: "We did. But you weren't home. If you had a cell phone, maybe you wouldn't be left out."

A: "Yeah. I need to get a cell phone. So, what games did you play?"

B: "We only play Texas Hold 'em."

A: "That's all good. What was the bid amount?"

B: "We started playing no limit. It's so much fun."

A: "That sounds awesome³. Let me join you next time."

B: "No problem. Just get a cell phone so we can contact you."

A: "Aright. Who won though?"

B: "John. He always wins. He's damn good."

A: "You only played one game?"

B: "We played 2 games and he won both of them."

A: "What is the buy in?"

B: "Only 10 bucks⁴."

A: "That sounds fun. Ten bucks isn't that much money to have fun while chilling with your friends."

B: "Exactly."

A: "But what happens if you get out in the first ten minutes?"

B: "Then you're screwed. You can watch tv or play the XBOX."

A: "Better not die soon then. So, when is the next time you guys are playing?"

B: "Probably this Friday. Give me a call Friday morning and I'll let you know the exact time."
