Lee loses with trip Aces to nut flush of Rouven
Vic (2 pair) loses to me big hand with higher 2 pair
Lee continued his good luck with 2 pair losing to Sharon's straight on river
JJ won big hand with AA vs my 88 (sharon had folded 88!)
Sharon then had 88 next hand !
Vic won huge pot with straight draw only to hit it on river vs Rouven
Jude (AA) knocked Sharon out (K10)
Lee (AK) Rouven (J10) and me (77) all all in. J and K on board and Lee triples up. Me out and Rouven very short stacked. Rouven out next to Dean
Vic out next to Ilan
Ilan (A8) out next to Jude (A10)'s straight
Dean out to Jude's 2 pair
Lee out in 3rd to JJ's trip 6's
JJ wins again with trip 5's - Jude 2nd
Game 2 – 7 players - (1st Barold/Bazmundo/bloke from Prison Break/Morris from 24....., 2nd Ilan, 3rd Lee):
Rouven (88) out first to Dan (AA) with full house
Vic was out next also with 88 vs AA of Ilan (3rd or 4th 88 vs AA of the night !)
Dan went all in after a flop of 944 (£8 raise). Dean called. I ummed and ahhed and called too. Dan had 55, Dean K9 and I had AQ (I fancied a punt to see one more card and had lots of chips). Next card out is a Q and Dan and Dean sent packing.
Lee knocked JJ out (to loud applause) with flush vs trips
Ilan doubled up with A5 - straight on flop vs Lee
I knocked Lee out again in 3rd with a flush
Heads up, I was big chip leader and Ilan finally fell to a pair of Jacks vs his 9's. Makes it a Borehamwood boys double, and thus pre poker burgers next week. Ilan and myself silently and swiftly put the chips away and crept out at 2.00am whilst Dean slept in front of the tv. Bless him
Poker Rankings table for this week:
For the first time since Jan 31st (21 weeks) we have a new leader. JJ caught up a 34 point deficit in 5 weeks, to go 3 points clear of Dave. 7 wins and 1 second place in the last 10 games. Annoying as hell, but quite a feat. May it last no longer.
Conversation Topics:
Dean bored everyone with talk of politics. Dave had a migraine and it probably got no better when Lee texted him to let him know of JJ's victory. I told everyone that 3 seperate people had said I look like Michael Schofield from Prison Break. Dean et al decided I looked more like Morris from 24 ! Cant be arsed this week, but look out for the lookalikes special feature coming soon. Just as a sneaky peak though, here is a picture of Dean, on the hunt for more peas........
Vic turned up for the first time in a while and for one hand, it seemed he had turned his luck around. It didnt take long to find out that this was bollox - Vic was exactly the same old Vic. Dean fell asleep on the couch during heads up - mostly due to staring and drooling at Gordon Brown on the tv all day. Tiring stuff. Liverpool bought Torres from Athletico Madrid for around £26m - hopefully £1m per goal he scores before xmas of the upcoming new season !
Joke of the Week:
Bob came home from the pub late one Friday evening stinking drunk, as he often did, and crept into bed beside his wife who was already asleep. He gave her a peck on the cheek and fell asleep.
When he awoke he found a strange man standing at the end of his bed wearing a long flowing white Robe.
"Who the hell are you?" demanded Bob, "and what are you doing in my bedroom?"
The mysterious man answered "This isn't your bedroom and I'm St Peter." Bob was stunned "You mean I'm dead!?!! That can't be, I have so much to live for, I haven't said goodbye to my family. . . you've got to send me back straight away."
St Peter replied "Yes, you can be reincarnated but there is a catch. We can only send you back as a dog or a hen."
Bob was devastated, but knowing there was a farm not far from his house, he asked to be sent back as a hen. A flash of light later he was covered in feathers and clucking around pecking the ground.
"This ain't so bad" he thought until he felt this strange feeling welling up inside him.
The farmyard rooster strolled over and said "So you're the new hen, how are you enjoying your first day here?"
"It's not so bad" replies Bob, "but I have this strange feeling inside like I'm about to explode."
"You're ovulating" explained the rooster, "don't tell me you've never laid an egg before?"
"Never!" replies Bob.
"Well just relax and let it happen"
So he did and after a few uncomfortable seconds later, an egg pops out from under his tail. An immense feeling of relief swept over him and his emotions got the better of him as he experienced motherhood for the first time. When he laid his second egg, the feeling of happiness was overwhelming and he knew that being reincarnated as a hen was the best thing that ever happened to him . . . Ever!!!
The joy kept coming and as he was just about to lay his third egg he felt an enormous smack on the back of his head and heard his wife shouting... "Bob, wake up you drunken bastard, you've shit the bed. "
Game of the Week:
Very frustrating but addictive :
http://www.killsometime.com/games/game.asp?ID=44
Last Year's Blog: (It's a bigun' !)
Jude and Dean were still full from their 17 course meal at The Fat Duck restaurant costing £250.
We saw video footage of Ilan and Dean’s sky dive. Ilan didn’t look at all scared on the plane. Slightly more scary was seeing (not sure anyone watched for very long) someone’s arse being bolted together on TV – must have been up for a long stretch in prison.
Quotes of the week, last year:
Opening line of the person that made Lewis redundant this week “we’ve ordered you a taxi”. Very considerate.Annie Freya Arotsky was born this time last year. Hopefully for her, Vic will win at some point before her wedding day has to be paid for.
Dan ducked out of (last year)’s game having been working until 5am the previous morning. Dean arrived at a respectable 9.30pm. Not so sure about Dean’s partnership potential after hearing it took him 10 minutes to turn on his TV after someone turned it off properly (sparked a debate about recycling and green issues).SPECIAL ONE OFF FEATURE : - Blast Billiards
If you liked the game above, here's the rest of the family. Plenty for JJ to keep himself busy with at work.
