How I Met Your Mother "The Poker Game"

I really want to see Barney and Robin's wedding already. Marshall is still on the road, and in this episode he was craving a pizza from a great Chicago place he went to before. It was all described in a very romantic kind of way, it was all very Marshall like. At Barney's pre-wedding poker game Ted was bragging about his love of wedding gifts. As it happens Lily is giving Ted a look because she and Marshall didn't get a gift from Ted on their wedding. Turns out that bought them a coffee maker, but they did not send him a thank you note. They were both in the clear because Stewart was the one who said he gave them the coffee maker, and in the end it was all Stewart's fault.

Meanwhile James has been crapping on the thought of marriage. Robin tells Barney to say something to his brother, but he does not want to take sides. Robin tells Barney how James wrote Marriage on the toilet with an arrow pointing down. Robin sees that James has not yet taken off his wedding ring so she bets the rings in the game, and James loses the game. She gets the ring and James goes to tell his mother about it, and so another challenge begins. Robin beats Barney's mom in poker and takes her shirt in the process. Barney went to return James' ring, and then he ends up telling him that Robin was making him do this, and that he was done being his brother. He also told his mother that he was done being his son, and that it was because of Robin. The episode ended so quickly in my opinion and now I have to wait till next week to see what plays out between Robin and the family she will be marrying into. Thanks as always for reading.

Keep Dreaming and Scheming! Till Next Time!
