Moving the Herd

Goodbye, Apartment! Hello, House!

We've finally finished up getting everything out of the apartment and into the house, and now we're looking at an eternity of unpacking ahead of us.

But that's OK, there's plenty of room to hide the boxes and have a game around it. So the only thing that's changed for this coming Wednesday is the location. If I somehow missed you with a new addy PM, remind me, and I'll set you up.

Cards in the air at 1920, as usual. I've already got a few locked up for this week's game, if you're interested, let me know before it fills.

I'm thinking we'll do a scrumptious meal this week, too - Taco Pie!

Lee-Laise!

Button in the ten seat.

Jefferson's in the seven, he limps in, E-Honda takes it up to $15 from the eight seat. Anne calls from the sb in the one seat, as does Keon from the bb in the two. Jefferson's last to act pf, so he tops it off and we see a flop.

KdJs2d. Anne checks, Keon leads out $51 into this $60 pot.

Jefferson ponders, calls. E says "raise." He looks around. Puts a meatball on top of the $51 bet. In retrospect, it wasn't a very big raise, there would be $213 in the pot if he just called.

But now there's even more, 'cause Anne has c/r'd her stack after Keon bet, Jefferson called, and E-raised. And Anne's got a good $200 in front of her.

Yeah, Keon tosses his shit in the muck. Jefferson has already ran into Seth's Royal Flush and several other cold-deckings for the night, he looks at his cards, looks at the board, looks at Anne, and E... then tosses his cards in the muck. Gets back to E, he's all-in, too. Action is over, and Jefferson says "I folded a set of deuces."

Now in some cases, you'd just roll your eyes and say "yeah... sure you did..." but coming from Jeff I found it pretty believable. He points to his two cards in the muck and I look at them. Sho'nuff... 22.

Good fold, Sir. Anne c/r'd her stack with a set of Jacks.

But ... E called with a set of Kings.

Sick hand for all.

Funny that Keon was the one leading out on that flop, though.

Cards in the air at 1920 this Wednesday! Come get some!

Leave it to Big John...

Last week Kenny and Big John showed up late night and they opened up the game in a big way. John bought in for a meatball and told the table he was gonna play his first buy-in in the dark. Not far off. First hand he raises to $17, gets a call from the big blind, and sho'nuff the flop is 732r. Three on the turn doesn't fade John, he bets his three-pair and gets a fold. Shows 72o, takes down the pot.

He got stacked eventually, but then came back with a vengeance and another meatball. Ran his stack up to around $600 before cashing out around three or four in the morning.

It was a good game with over ninety pots over $100... putting the Bad Beat Jackpot at $3,649. There's now over $900 to share between the people just dealt into the hand! Lose a pot with AAAJJ (or better) when you and your opponent use both hole cards and the place goes crazy.

We're gonna be at it again this Wednesday, hit me up on AIM or E-Mail if you'd like to lock a seat. Probably best to just sign on to MD-Poker and look for our thread.

Cards in the air at 1920!
