I won nice pot with AA vs Dan's AK (K on flop). Nice
I won another big pot vs Sharon with 2 pair (vs Q's)
I took 6 hours making a decision after Lee went all in. After ignoring the countdown, and the shouts of "come on" from everyone (except Jude - thanks Jude !) my decision was made for me by Dave who gathered all the cards together and declared the hand over.
Dan was out first to Lee's nut flush
Jude doubled up vs me with AJ vs A7
Ilan out with AK vs JJ's Q7 - A77 on flop !!
Jude (AA) knocked Dave out (K8) with K on flop. Nice
Sharon doubled up with QQ vs Lee's AK
Jude knocked me (KJ) out with A9 - 2 Aces on board and straight draw for me, but never came.
JJ out next, followed by Lee, and heads up between the ladies (first of the year) - Sharon takes the win (her 2nd of the year). Well done ladies !
Game 2 – 6 players - (1st Bazra, 2nd Dan, 3rd Lee):
I won nice early pot with trip Kings
IJ (88) out first to JJ's 10 10
Dave (55) out next to my AQ after a nice Ace on the flop. Dave sent home.
Lee quadrupled up with A10 after no one hit anything !
JJ's luck from the first game deserted him when all in with Q4 vs Dan's Q3 - Dan hit 3 on flop. JJ home in 4th
Lee (A10) vs Dan (KK) - no A came and Lee home, again, in 3rd
Heads up between me and Dan - final hand I hit 2 pair on flop, and Dan has straight and flush draw, but no help for Dan and I win.

Jokes of the Week:
Dave actually told this joke at the poker table, but it was so good, I'm reprinting it !
5 lads in an Audi Quattro are on the hover cat ferry approaching Ireland. When they get there Paddy pulls them over on the border and says, "Sorry lads, you cant go any further".
"Why?" The driver asks.
"Because there’s 5 of you and this is an Audio Quattro. "
"What’s that got to do with it ?" asks the driver.
"Audio Quattro "says Paddy, "QUATTRO - that means 4 and there’s 5 of you in it".
"What??" replies the driver, "that’s got nothing to do with it, Quattro is just the make of the car, it’s got nothing to do with the number of passengers! "
"Sorry" replies Paddy, "Quattro means 4, you can’t fool me I’m not stupid. There’s 5 of you and you’re not crossing this border in a Quattro."
The driver can’t believe it. He tells Paddy that he wants to speak to his boss immediately.
"Sorry" says Paddy, "no can do. Murphy’s busy right now with 2 wise guys in a Fiat Uno!"
and another joke from me:
One day a guy dies and finds himself in hell.
As he is wallowing in despair, he has his first meeting with the devil...
Satan: "Why so glum?"
Guy: "What do you think? I'm in hell!"
Satan: "Hell's not so bad. We actually have a lot of fun down here. You a drinking man?"
Guy: "Sure, I love to drink."
Satan: "Well, you're gonna love Mondays then. On Mondays, that's all we do is drink. Whiskey, tequila, Guinness, wine coolers, Tab, and Fresca.
We drink 'til we throw up, and then we drink some more! And you don't have to worry about getting a hangover, because you're dead anyway."
Guy: "Gee that sounds great!"
Satan: "You a smoker?"
Guy: "You better believe it!"
Satan: "All right! You're gonna love Tuesdays. We get the finest cigars from all over the world, and smoke our lungs out. If you get cancer - no biggie, you're already dead, remember?"
Guy: "Wow...that's awesome!"
Satan: "I bet you like to gamble."
Guy: "Why, yes, as a matter of fact I do."
Satan: "Good, 'cause Wednesdays you can gamble all you want. Craps, blackjack, roulette, poker, slots, whatever. If you go bankrupt, it doesn't matter, you're dead anyhow."
Guy: "Cool!"
Satan: "What about Drugs?"
Guy: "Are you kidding? Love drugs! You don't mean...?"
Satan: "That's right! Thursday is drug day. Help yourself to a great big bowl of crack or smack. Smoke a doobie the size of a submarine. You can do all the drugs you want. You're dead so who cares."
Guy: "Wow! I never realized Hell was such a cool place!"
Satan: "You gay?"
Guy: "No..."
Satan: "Ooooh, Fridays are gonna be tough
