Vanquish thoughtbot at the poker table

“If you even dream of beating me you’d better wake up and apologize.” – Muhammed Ali

<p>Not since the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thrilla_in_Manila">Thrilla in Manila</a> has there been a contest so hyped, with so much on the line. This is bound to be the most remarkable, exceptional event in Vegas all year.</p>

Lightening Up The Mood

For more than two months now, the thoughtbot guys have been enjoying a weekly round of poker. This has been an excellent opportunity to unwind, get to know each other a little better, and see each others apartments.

Taking the opportunity to relax and have some healthy competition has been a lot of fun. Featured in the picture (from left to right) is Floyd, Eric T, Jared and Eric M (Floyd is dealing) the three remaining players in a game of 8.
