Congratulations to TC aka ”Wollmar67” on his first live win! You turned your game up a notch with some smart aggressive preflop play once we were itm- well played! Remember to send us a pic with you wearing the ”Champion’s Belt”
in all its glory. Yours truly took 2nd and MrEMC2 took 3rd. And, thanks for a excellent evening guys! The
tourney was exciting with solid poker from start to finish and the big stacks
and short stacks trading places quite often.
There were plenty of great hands and horrible hands for
everyone, including five AAs I think. One of these was a huge preflop all in
confrontation between Klokkhammer’s AA
and Stabekk’s KK - the As held. Another was my AA vs Wollmar67s JJ. My full
house was no match for his quads! And MrSmith got the short end of the stick
when his AK hand went up against AA in a sb bb confrontation. Nice line on that
one TL!
Well, we can’t control the cards, but we can control how we
play. I feel that everyone played smart poker. Furthermore, we played
considerably faster than we used to. We got in about 90 hands last night,
whereas we used to only manage 60 – 70. This has a huge impact on the game
actually. So, thanks to everyone for showing up on time, having the right buyin
amount, excellent dealing and quick play!
If you promise to be equally flink next game, perhaps I’ll
insert a longer break so we can enjoy a bowl or three of my chili. Speaking of
the next game Thursday, 6 October is looking quite likely.
PS: We ended up being 7 players last night, all of whom have
become pretty much regulars now. That means we have two or three chairs still
available. If we grow more than that I might have to start a new project and
build a second poker table....
