Worst poker experience ever.

The owners of my favourite pub were tired, and did not want us playing poker till 6 am tonight.

So I invite 4 friends to my place to christen my new set of chips in a small hold'em tournament.

Everybody except me wanted to play antes, so I caved on that. Unfortunately, two of them also figured it would be fun to see the flop without a round of bidding...The rest of us were not in the mood to argue, so we just grudgingly went along with it, even though game was now a crapshoot not worthy of the name "poker".

As the buy-in was only $5, those of us annoyed by the rules played badly because we were too bored to take the game seriously, leaving the supporters of the rule to play the most boring, sloppy, passive poker I've ever seen.

They eventually split the pot at 6 am and I collapse into bed exhausted.
