Whoops, Forgot to Title This One...
I was playing some sort of poker-type game that also involved rolling dice and flipping coins. The only person i recognize/remember who i was playing with was Matt Ellis. There was a Hi-pot and a Lo-pot. The game was odd, and i didn't fully understand it, but i had played it before. I had a bunch of cards in my hand, and i had a fullhouse of tens over aces. I decided that's what i was going to play (like finding a poker hand in tripoli), but then i couldn't find my aces. I was walking around for a while trying to find them, and i finally did. I put my cards out, and somebody else rearranged them because i guess i couldn't do that. I guess the object was to pair up without using any of my own pairs. That means playing the tens was a bad idea since i had all of them (almost).
Later, i was playing Texas Hold'em with a few pros in a tournament setting. I believe Daniel Negreanu was sitting next to me, and Mike Matusow was also at the table along with Gus Hansen. I flopped a straight on the big blind, so i threw out a small bet. Gus tried to push me all in, and Daniel acted out of turn to call. I decided i better call at this point even though there was a possible flush draw out there. I was convinced i had the best hand at the time, and i'd be an idiot to fold. As i was counting my chips (to see if the bet had really pushed me all in), my sister and other family members were cheering me on. I gave them a slow "shhhhhhhh" to calm them down, and everyone laughed. Unfortunately, i woke up before seeing the culmination of the hand.

My new favorite show is Poker After Dark (2AM weeknights on NBC). Daniel Negreanu and Mike Matusow are on this week, while Gus was on last week.
Also, last time i played poker live, The only person i recognized (other than the guy who invited me) was Matt Ellis.
Also, when are we playing poker?
