Lady Iris

[andyfox]

The infamous Lady Iris sits down in our 30-60 game. She is waiting for a set in the 40-80 game. After not winning a hand for a few minutes, she yells for the floorman, asking him how long she has to play in this piece of shitt.

By and by I flop a set. A third spade comes on the river and they all check to me. I bet and they all fold to Lady Iris. She calls. It turn over my pocket jacks. She turns over the 8h-7h. The board is something like Js-Tc-6s-3d-2s.

We all look real close. It seems a pretty loose call. She says oh shitt, I thought I had a straight. As the pot is given to me, she gets up as they have called her to the 40-80 game.

The giggling starts. Pretty soon there is laughter followed by guffawing. One player says to me "you got a gift out of her." I reply, looking around at the goodfellas at the table, that had it been anyone else, I would have given it back.

At that, the silent non-guffawer next to me says, "You give Iris back the money, I break both your friggin' arms."

Guffawing gave way to hysteria.
