Game 1 – 8 players - (1st Lewis, 2nd Dean, 3rd Sharon):
Guest Bloggers: Lee/Dave (Thanks!)
A welcome back to Sharon and a rare visit from Andy during the Pesach game this Year.
Memorable hands included Dave getting Andy all in before flop with (Dave) KK and him AK and him getting 4 spades to hit flush with his K spades. Very next hand Dave had KK again but only won blind (was big anyway) then very next hand again Sharon and Andy both had pockets kings AGAIN but both lost to Jude's all in with 2 pair. And finally VERY next hand again, Jude made a great lay down with (you guessed it) KK when flop came 367 and Dean showed what a good player his wife is by showing his AA. In case you have lost count that was 5 pair of pocket kings in four consecutive hands! Andy went out unluckily to Dean when he had A3 vs Deans Q10 and flopped A 3 only for 2 queens to come.
Game 2 – 4 players - (1st Dave , 2nd Dan, 3rd Paul):
Guest Bloggers: Dave/Lee (Thanks!)
Not many memorable hands but it finished (appropriately) with Dave winning with pocket kings.
Poker Rankings table for this week:
Conversation Topics:
Andy was on call with a new private medical call-out service which meant he disappeared for about half an hour during the 1st game to confirm someone's tonsilitis. Dean is going to the premier of DieHard 4 (even though Jude may give birth during it).
It now appears that Dean has joined the Ladies in the One Game Only Club. Mazeltov. Does Elite membership depend on playing both games most weeks? If so, does this now mean we have a place available in the Elite...................... ??????????????? To be discussed................
Congratulations:
To me and the rest of the I clan on the birth of 'Ruby' on 31st March. 7lbs 15oz. Beautiful.
Mother and daughter both doing very well. Second baby of 2007 for the Elite.

Last Year's Blog:
Barry arrived with the taste of the policeman’s helmet in his mouth – anything to avoid 3 points on his license for speeding in his new car.
There was a strong musical theme throughout the night. Barry drove ‘like a bat out of hell’. Lou revealed how Sue had bumped into Fergal Sharkey’s car. He should have let her off too as there was hardly a mark on the car, but as we know ‘a good heart is hard to find’. Gene Pitney died – end of (literally). Vic belted out ‘my old man’s a dustman’ – like father like son. Dean fell asleep at the table and was woken by the Geoff Show playing ‘cheer up sleepy Dean’.
News of the week last year: One armed bandit Lou showed off his erotic chat; Arsenal made it through to the semi-finals for the first time ever. JJ's job under threat (how will they ever replace him ?). Ilan 'lured‘ to GE Money as its first (and probably last) UK Head of Government Relations. The poker suite is ready. The opening ceremony will be in 3 weeks time (give or take 45 weeks!!)
