We started the 1st with 6 players…Foxy was 1st to fall in the 4th blind when his Ace’s hit a Shaky Straight…the 5th blind saw Mr D, Crazy & DD in a 3 way All-in with DD the only one left standing…then in the final hand, another 3 way All-in; Shakes Ace’s stood strong and 1st blood was his.
Game 2 was a slightly livelier affair…Crazy crashed in the 2nd blind falling foul to a split-pot full house Q’s over 5’s shared by Mr D & DD…Shake fell to Fox’s pocket Aces in the 3rd…in the 5th Mr D shat out, coming up against DD’s pocket K’s…later that blind the Fox pushed All-in with A-10 only to hit DD’s Big Slick with Mr K sliding into 2nd.
Game 3 was all about who would come in 2nd as 1st place was never in doubt…in the 2nd blind Foxy took out DD and Mr K with pocket Aces…in the 3rd blind Foxy took out Mr D by hitting four of a kind 3’s…and later in the 3rd finished the game by taking out Shake with an A-3…boom!
We lost Mr K for the 4th and final game, I say lost, we knew where he was but he didn’t play…it wasn’t until the 3rd blind that Crazy fell to a mighty 8-Q straight owned by Mr D…a couple of blinds later and we had a 3 way All-in forced by a bled dry Fox and desperate DD…Shakes boots stood firm but a cunning Mr D had already counted his stack and with $150 over the required $7500 the last game was his.
March 3rd and the 1st of 4 games.
Fox, Shake, Mr D and Double D drew for chairs…Shake enjoyed an early lead to the detriment of Double D’s stack…Shake lost the lead in the 2nd blind and then the rest of his chips in 2 big run ins with the Fox…Double Dip’s ship nearly sank in the 3rd but managed to hold on and eventually knocked out Mr D by pairing her 6 and claiming 2nd leaving Foxy to his 50th win.
In the 2nd game Foxy hit an early lead delivered by 2 winning flushes…Double Dip shook the Shake by having the K♦ to Shakes 10♦ when four diamonds hit the community cards and it wasn’t much later that Shake fell…the 4th brought the game to a close when Mr D & Double D stood toe-2-toe All-in, Double D’s notorious Queens held firm as Mr D’s promised flush never appeared…a well deserved 19th win for the lady of the house.
Crazy joined the action for the 3rd game…2 hands later he was waiting for the 4th to start…coming up against Double Dips pocket A’s in one hand and Shakes 9-6 hitting 8-7-5-4-2 in the middle…Foxy fell in the 4th to Double Dips Flushing K-5…during the 6th Shake heard the whisper and pushed All-in with 4-3, Mr D called with the slick and claimed his 52nd win.
…pausing for pensive thought…
The 4th and final game this sesh was a tight affair…5 blinds in the Fox was first to fall…a full blind later and Crazy crashed and burned…Mr D pushed hard hitting pocket 3’s…Double Dip running out of time and chips had to reply to All-in…Shake called and the flop hit…Mr D doing the math realized he had to push All-in to stand a chance of winning the game…sporting top pair Shake called…with nothing else hitting the table Shake remained in front to claim his 23rd win
Late January we came together to continue our poker sessions into 2012.
As this is getting increasingly harder to blog about the same people playing the same game Im going to keep this short;
Double Dip, Mr K, Mr D, Shake & Foxy started the 1st.
Shake blew his load early doors chasing an A-8
Foxy heard the whispering eye as his pocket 6’s crashed and burned
Finally Double Dip’s A-5 was rivered by Mr D’s King to seal his win with Mr K holding his own in 2nd.
Crazy joined the action to make the 2nd game 6 handed.
Shake once again peaked too early and Crazy spammed him out of the game.
Mr K was collecting chips by playing 2 pair…a pair of 9’s, and another pair of 9’s!
Foxy’s hunt was over in the 5th blind as Double Dip’s All-in tripled her up.
Crazy went for a duck as his pocket 2’s ran into Mr D’s 9’s and Mr K’s 10’s.
Double Dip bled dry and eventually made a stand but Mr D’s A-Q stood strong and claimed his 2nd win with Mr K sliding into 2nd again.
