Poker - night five: a pair of dethrones
sundays go thusly;
6 or 6:30 is out indoor soccer start time, then back to dan and dark's place for bbq and poker. A night full of fun and frivolity.
Sunday a week ago we had our first win of the season. Last night hopes were cautiously high since we were up against the team coming first and undefeated. Our first dethrone came when the final buzzer sounded and the match was a draw, 2 goals each. They were understandably pissed since they couldn't beat a team that was coming close to the bottom. I know a draw isnt a win, but its a point better than a loss and we've had more draws than losses... so were doing better than three (or four since our win two weeks ago) teams in the nine team comp. So thats dethronage one.
can you see the foreshadowing?
Five playas; Dani 'the queen of tarts', Dan 'dumbluck DJ' (who had the 'poker playlist' saved and ready to roll), dark 'Dark', Joel 'poker-in-the-rear' and myself; steve 'Mr.Pink'.
Dan's erratic ante for the flop was quite restrained this week, and we were a little dumbfounded by this. Maybe that was the reason that he was the first to go. The queen of tarts went down to a full house (malevolently revealed by dark), who went all in two or three times before being overwhelmed by the size of my chips... So it came down to Joel and I, like last week. But this time I had the superior chip amount. The blinds were at $200 and $400 and for a little while a few chip stacks kept going back and forth.
... can't think of a climactic way of putting it; too tired and i can't remember what happened but joel's last few chips went in for the blind and i won with two pair... i'm guessing here so don't quote me on that.
Either way Joel's reign has come to an end... though i smell a revenge game.
And finally we have a picture of me on my blog. night all
