I lost a few chips to Dan when he called a £3 raise with nothing (AK) vs my pocket 6's, only to hit a K on the river (c*nt)
9 Q 10 on flop, Dave (J9) all in, I call (KQ) - no more help for Dave- Dave out.
AK screwed me again, with Jude hitting a K on river vs my top pair of 10's
Ilan out next to JJ's trips, with a good lay down from Jude (77)
Jude loses big hand to Vic and out next hand or so.
Charlie out with AK to JJ's pocket 10's
Sharon out next to JJ hitting top pair of 10's but losing on kicker (9 to 3)
Lee (A8) out next and me (AQ) to JJ's pocket Kings (straight)
Vic out in 3rd to JJ, and heads up, JJ (A9) vs Dan (A5) with A9 on flop - JJ winner
Game 2 – players - (1st Lee, 2nd Dave, 3rd Dan):
Dave got LUCKY hitting an Ace on the turn to match his AK vs my 77 to send me home first, with my 3rd shafting from AK of the night.
Vic out next, to continue his rubbish form, whilst I played, and beat (2-0) Dean at Wii Tennis. Beautiful !
I am not sure the order of outs, but this week ended up with this, from Dave:
"It was a sickening evening - mostly due to the time but also to the cards being very cruel. Dan was 3rd. We were 3 handed for a very long time and Lee and I eventually played the last hand at 3.05am (a record late finish in the 4 years we have been playing AND I think possibly the longest 2nd game ever too). Having both played sensibly and tightly til that late hour, and with almost identical chipstacks (he had very few more than me) the deck contrived against me when I was dealt 5 8 clubs and the flop come 6 7 9 (two diamonds) raise followed raise ,all in and call for him to show the high straight (8 10). What are the chances of both flopping a straight on the flop. What a waste of good sleeping hours to play all that time (not getting lucky once - unlike others (NOTE FROM BLOGGER - APART FROM WHEN YOU GOT LUCKY AGAINST MY 77 !!) and then have that happen! "

Extras of the Week:
How to Handle a Difficult Customer - For all those who have suffered in customer services:
A man with a bald head and a wooden leg is invited to a fancy dress party. He doesn't know what to wear to hide his bald head and his wooden leg so he writes to a fancy dress company to explain his problem. A few days later he receives a parcel with a note:
Dear Sir,
Please find enclosed a pirate's outfit. The spotted handkerchief will cover your bald head and with your wooden leg you will be just right as a pirate.
The man thinks this is terrible because they emphasized his disability, so he writes a letter of complaint. A week passes and he received another parcel.
Dear Sir,
Sorry about the previous parcel. Please find a monk's habit. The long robe will cover your wooden leg and with your bald head you will really look the part.
The man is extremely furious now, because the company has gone from emphasizing his wooden leg to drawing attention to his bald head. So he writes a really rude letter of complaint.
A few days later, he gets a very small parcel from the company with an accompanying letter:
Dear Sir,
Please find enclosed a tin of Golden Syrup. Pour the tin of Golden Syrup over your bald head, stick your wooden leg up your arse and go as a toffee apple
And finally, this beauty of a video from Dave. Very funny
