As is the norm recently, I was out first to Lardy Jackson - but a midly (not) repectable 9.26 pm this week.
Ilan (10 10) out next to Sharons AA
no blog, as I was busy watching Superman returns, but order of outs was Jude / Dave / JJ / Vic (blew huge chip lead in two awful hands of Poker) / Sharon / Lee / Dan
Game 2 – 7 players - (1st Dan, 2nd Vic, 3rd JJ):
Vic won lots of chips against me, proclaiming "Can you beat the nuts ?" after showing four Queens. Smarmy git.
IJ out next to Dans full house
Dan missed out on 4 5's which would have knocked Dave out, but folded as Lee called Dave's all in and lost to Dave's full house
Lee out next to Vic
Dave got lucky to double up with 6K to hit 66 on board vs Dan's JJ
I out next to Vic
Dave out next
Dan continues....
"last three was JJ, Vic and Me.
I must have hit a decent Ace about 10 hands in a row (apart from maybe two hands of garbage) and raised big on all of them. Lots of folding until Vic gets 99 and raises one of each, JJ calls with KQ and I raise all in with AK. Vic folds, J calls and Ace knocks him out.
Next hand I get A7 all in and Vic folds having called the blind
Next hand I get Q10 and call the blind. 10 hits on flop. I check. Vic all in. I call. Vic shows 10 J against my Q10. Fairly typical for Vic."
Even after having the nuts, there's still no win for Vic in almost 2 years...........

Conversation Topics:
Lots of flies in the suite tonight - although there was one less when Lee caught one in the fly swatter - great shot. Dan tried his hardest to hit one, but after lots of flapping, he just looked a pillock!
With JJ having a test to check his health, and officially finding out that he's fat, here is a picture of his toes, seeing as though he hasn't seen them for a while !!!
Quote of the week:
Lee: "It's alright Dan - Now Gaby's pregnant you don't need the blindfold anymore!"
