Quiz Night and Killer Poker Hands

Every Monday night, several foreign teachers at my school (and other schools like ours) go to the "foreign district" of Seoul called Itaewon. Itaewon is near the military base and has a decent selection of non-Korean restaurants, so there's always tons of foreigners there. The major draw on Monday nights, however, is Quiz Night and poker. Similar to the quiz nights in the UK, the Canadian-owned bar, Rocky Mountain, hosts a jeopardy-like, team-based quiz. The team that knows the most random, worthless knowledge wins a pitcher of beer (how could that NOT be fun, right?!?!). My team came in second, right behind the other team of my co-workers. Before and after the quiz, those who want can play poker. All bets are small (we make good money here, but we're not high-rollers or anything...our bets are change, not bills), and the usual games are Texas Hold 'em and "In Between." In between is a super fun game where you bet against the pot if you think the card drawn will be "in between" the two post (or end-point) cards. I did pretty well with that game, and I have more than enough change to bring back next week!
