Draw poker

After doing a mission where I saved the leader of the Mexican revolution, who turns out to be an arrogant jerk, I did a mission for the american gunslinger Landon Ricketts that was basically a poker match and a shoot out. The poker match was rather easy since the AI was set very low so you couldn't lose, so I just bet everything both hands and got an achievement for winning 3000 chips. The shoot out was trickier since it started in a draw, and for some reason every time I tried to shoot the gun out of the opponent's hand I would lose. After several atems I looked on line and found out that the game is rigged in some draws that you must kill the opponent to win the match.

After that I did an ugly mission for the mexican military where I had to fire bomb houses. I then went back to do another Ricketts mission since those tend to be about actually helping people. The mission was to free a bunch of prison wagons and then escort them to safety in the US, once it was over though Ricketts stayed on the US side and unfortunately ending his mission quests. Too bad that John couldn't stay with him, but he had to go back to Mexico to find the guys he's after, so I saved the game for the night on the US side and I'll make a run for the border tomorrow.
