Met up with slider at Reatta for a couple of drinks and discussion prior to sarge. First venue we hit was Bar Nine. Cool club. Upstairs has a bar and also sections with couches. Upstairs was a sausage fest so we headed downstairs. Downstairs was a much more target rich environment and had a Dallas club feel. It was very loud. Slider opened one set. We didn't discuss which was the target and I guessed wrong as he kinoed the obstacle. Shortly afterwards, we moved to a different club called Embargo. Lots of candles around in this club. I spotted a two set. One chick has huge natural breasts and I decide she will be my target and I tell slider that she is the target. I approach and open with jealous gf. Target interupts and I neg her for it saying "I'm talking to your friend. It's not your turn yet". After I finish the routine the obstacle asks me which one is my friend. I point to wing and obstacle suggests that wing and target should get together. I then ran the "spells" routine. I motion to wing (slider) to join the group. Wing and my target talk and talk and talk. I'm occupying my obstacle. Well...somehow wing steals target and I end up talking with my original obstacle. Obstacle has a bf who is not present, and I'm getting IOIs from the obstacle! I neg the obstacle (which has now changed to my target) We talk for a while, obstacle and (new)target leave to go to the bathroom. I suggest a venue change to wing while the ladies were in the bathoroom. Ladies return and I suggest we go to Bar Nine. We go to Bar Nine and sit on the couches. Wing and my former target begin making out and my new target suggests that she and I go downstairs. I agree. We are getting along great and I'm getting massive IOIs. While downstairs I ask the former obstacle (now target) if she'd like to kiss me. She responds with the "I have a bf" line. I say the Mystery line..."I didn't say you could, it just looked like you had something on your mind". She responds with..."Well, it wasn't that". Ouch! By this time, the club is closing and it's time to leave. Outside, wing and original target are making out. My "new" target is talking to some other guys. I tell "new" target it was nice meeting her and walk off. Wing calls me shortly and tells me that my "new" target became a major cockblock! LOLOLOL! Serves you right Slider! However, my original target tells wing that she has a friend in Austin who might like me.
WTF?
Overall, this was a good experience. We held the same set all night and did a venue change to a place with couches. Wing and I were both getting IOIs, but my final target had a boyfriend (who was not present) get in the way. Wing ended up with a K-close and a # close from my original target. I'm kinda pissed, but not really...if that makes any since.
How do you deal with your wing UNINTENTIONALLY stealing the target? I'm positive he didn't do it on purpose. We're both newbies when it comes to this. I know you didn't intentionally do that dude but fuck! Be prepared for some AMOGing next time mother fucker!

All's fair in love and war eh?
Nice attempt to help with DHV by mentioning the card counting thing. That was great and I think it worked to some degree.
Anyway, I look forward to doing this again. I had a great time.
