Hmph!

Played some poker last night. It was fun. We have a nice core group and the usually some other people may drop by. However, the hmph is because one of the guys we play with invited his new girlfriend (or she kinda invited herself).

Anyhow, Mr Bob and I arrived early and our friend said that his girlfriend was coming over, but it was awkward because he was planning on breaking up with her. He figured he had to do it before his birthday (in two weeks). He said he liked her fine, but after a few months, he just disn't see long term stuff (he's wife auditioning). So I was a little concerned it was be difficult/messy/embarrassing (and why did he have to tell us that?)

The annoying part? I really liked the girl. She played cutthroat poker, she was clever, good company and nice. So I spent the evening liking this girl more and more (I've bemoaned the lack of seriously viscous girl poker players). She never apologised when she won (and didn't really gloat either. I mean gloating and trash talking is expected, but more in an acty fashion). So it sorta sucked that he was planning on breaking it off (though I got the impression she knew it and wasn't too bummed about the whole thing. She wasn't all googly eyed over him at all). So the only annoying part was that I met someone nice that I likely won't see again.
