New Mexico Poker

By: girl poker tour – October 23, 2006

MESCALERO, NM -- Minutes from Ruidoso and Ruidoso Downs Horse Track is the Inn of the Mountain Gods. Inside you'll find a nice non-smoking 9 table poker room and local player David. David is there every day in his sports coat sitting next to the dealer in seat 1 or 10. He plays the $1/$2 No Limit game, talks incessantly and annoys most of the tourists. If you stick around long enough he starts to grow on you.

When David is on a club flush draw he starts yelling "popcorn" over and over (because he thinks clubs look like popcorn). When I was all in with the best hand on the flop and was rivered a flush, David turned to me shaking his head and sympathetically said "popcorn always comes."
