Surprise, Surprise

[Kurn]

I keep very detailed records. I think it's safe to say that at any given time, I know how much I have in each of my online accounts, not to the penny, but within $20 or so.

So this morning I'm playing for a half hour before leaving for work, and I open up Pokerroom, and my balance looks very wrong, but wrong in the right direction. I start playing, open up my online poker diary to make sure I didn't just forget a winning session or two, but no, my memory was correct, there's about $200 more in my account than my records say should be there.

So I play a while more and open up my aol mail and to see if I cleared some unknown bonus, and there's the e-mail from Pokerroom. Seems one day last week I won a hand with a Royal, and Pokerroom pays $200 for a Royal. Who knew?

I'll bet the jacket they give you at Foxwoods isn't worth $200.
