Karen started off very slowly - exactly as we had agreed. Playing poker in a very tight way. In fact she folded for her first seven hands. She was starting to get frustrated, but remembered that she simply had to play to the rules and she would statistically end up a winner.
I don't think Karen was really aware of just how much time playing poker in a casino can consume or how tiring it can be. I had to remind here several times to keep drinking, and only to drink water.
The competition was quite good, although there were two lads who were part of a stag night that were, shall we say, thinking of other things I suspect :-)
How did Karen do on her first trip to a casino? Well, she came third from ten and played for three hours for free (she covered her costs with the prize money in the comp). Had it not been for a rush of blood to her head and playing a weak hand too aggressively Karen could well have finished second. Not a bad first showing for her, and she left keen to play again as soon as possible. Her next lesson with me is next week - stand by for more on her poker odyssey.
Best
