Poker Árabe


La escena es la siguiente. Los cuatro que estamos sentados rodeando la mesa en este cuartucho africano tenemos miedo de salir a la calle. Los
innumerables callejones que se entrecruzan en la medina de Fez tienen siglos desorientando a los viajeros. Después de haberme perdido tantas veces en este laberinto empedrado, disfruto pasar las tardes viendo el río interminable de hombres y animales que pasando por la Bab Boujeloud, la enorme Puerta Azúl, se adentran en sus retorcidas entrañas. Trepado sobre el tejado me siento a salvo y las plegarias nocturnas parecen rebotar en mil ecos por las paredes de la vieja ciudad y subir al cielo entre sus minaretes. Si necesito algo hay un chico llamado Abdúl que corre por el laberinto y trae lo que le pida.

A la mesa también se sientan Miles y Andy, dos australianos. Y Michael, de California. Nos acabamos de conocer en este hostel y nos une la misma sensación, entre miedo y flojera, que nos impide salir.

Abdúl se fue hace un par de horas dejándonos una buena provisión de tabaco, agua y para comer, una bolsa con frutas secas, nueces y dátiles.

La idea fue de Mike, creo. Yo nunca había jugado póker, o sea que no fue mía. Y a todos nos pareció buena. Una buena partida de póker entre desconocidos. Usaríamos las nueces y frutas como fichas: las castañas valían 1 Dirham, las nueces 5, los guindones 10 y los higos 20. Andy tenía unos M&Ms y como eran de colores y gringos les dimos un valor de 50, ese era el valor de la habitación cuádruple. Nos repartimos las fichas por igual y comenzamos la partida.

Ibamos jugando y pasando la diminuta pipa arabe hacia la derecha, cómo hacen los moros: la llenas, le formas un bonito bonete como una pequeñísima bola de helado, y cuando estaba lista,sin encenderla! se la dabas al de la derecha y le acercabas fuego. Muy elegante, una manera de demostrar respeto y amistad. Las cosas pronto comenzaron a torcerse. Tuvimos hambre, mucho hambre. La comida eran fichas y las fichas eran comida. Yo estaba ganando. Y seguí ganando. En algún momento, en un acto de soberbia me comí un higo. Era mío, lo había ganado. Eso no les gustó. En la siguiente mano yo tenía un par de sietes, una mano floja. Yo había aprendido a blufear y con el apoyo de tantas fichas (comida) subí la apuesta más y más. El último en salirse fue Mike, el californiano. Mike tenía un full de reinas, debió ganar. Yo me quedé con casi toda la comida (las fichas) más de 500 Dirhams, una bonita suma, y muerto de risa miré sus ojos aterrados y hambrientos y me tragué un puñado de nueces, dos dátiles y un M&M, gran error. No pude seguir comiendo, ni cobrar mi dinero al día siguiente. Mis enfebrecidos compañeros lanzaron un gruñido rabioso, se abalanzaron sobre mis fichas … y se las tragaron todas!!

Son historias reales, algunas un poco antiguas, pero ciertas.

Que bien lo has descrito. Conozco esos laberintos y parecía conocer ese cuarto por como lo describiste. 4 perros hambrientos son peligrosos. Aunque más bien parecíais leones.

Te tengo fichado, que lo sepas :p

Besos, guapísimo.

This might be a bit off-topic but I believe there are a lot of smokers here on www.blogger.com. I decided to find a good vendor of electronic cigarettes. I'm done with paying so much for normal cigarettes.A friend recommended [url=http://www.insanereleases.info/greensmokef.html]G Smoke[/url] According to their website this is how they described their product:
"Green Smoke offers quality Electronic cigarettes with disposable cartridges that produce the highest smoke volume in the industry. With a collection of flavors and nicotine levels, Green Smoke's™ patented product offers convenience and performance that is unmatched. G Smoke products have been independently tested for safety."
I'm thinking of buying them. Anyone else have experience with this e-cigarette?

Add to that the question of whether or not these free chips are being offered by honest online casinos, and we enter an area worth some study or serious research.



Now with a low enough play though requirement and a casino game that's not rigged more than the house advantage you may just make the play through requirement and keep the bonus that's left over. One example is baccarat which has one of the best player advantages. Good luck on your online casino adventures!

Remember that online casinos can afford to do this because they simply do not have the overhead that their brick and mortar land-based counterparts have. Equally, there is no excuse for an online casino NOT to be honest for exactly the same reason. They can offer free casino chips AND be an honest online casino in circumstances where their physical equivalents would find the financial burden impossible.



If you did the same you'd have deposited $550 via Neteller $550, and have a total balance of $980. (PLUS another $50 in value for the Bentley Key Code.
Cash Balance: $550.00
Bonus Balance: $430.00
Total Balance: $980.00 (Almost doubled your money from the start)

- Understand the set-up of the game on the site you're visiting. Make sure you know what you're clicking and why. It can be very confusing with all the bells and whistles and buttons flashing at you. Know the function of anything you click. If you cannot navigate your way around the game properly, use support tools the site may offer.

4. Online casinos regularly offer big bonuses that can take the form of: (i) signing-up bonus that gets you started off; (ii) bonuses that can be cashed; (iii) bonuses that cannot be cashed, and (iv) cash back bonus, which is paid if the player loses. No traditional offline casino offers so many bonuses!

– окно в стихотворный мир молодой девушки, целью которой всю жизнь было творчество, а конкретно поэзия.
На этом сайте размещены мои самые лучшие стихи, которые я творила на протяжении нескольких лет и которыми я хочу поделиться с гостями своей поэтической странички сейчас. Современный вечно куда-то спешащий и взбалмошный мир не оставляет нам ни секунды свободного времени, и мы иногда забываем о душе, заботясь все больше о ее бренной оболочке. А что является наиболее желанной пищей для души? Ну, конечно же, поэзия. На моем поэтическом портале вы можете окунуться в прекрасный мир рифм и словесных хитросплетений, сможете вновь почувствовать прекрасную музыку стихов, затрагивающую самые сокровенные струны вашей души.
На этом сайте я постаралась собрать все свои сборники со стихами, созданными в разные периоды моей жизни. Вы можете не просто прочитать их онлайн-версию, но и скачать совершенно бесплатно. Я буду рада помочь всем желающим познать неповторимый, прекрасный, завораживающий мир современной поэзии.

Nonetheless, there are some essential factors that need
considering before making any selection. Implementation of solar energy
has environmental costs that may hamper its application on large-scale operations to reduce its impact.
However, my husband had a little trouble tightening the screw on the solar panel, so it tended to slip to less than an
optimal angle.
