7 November 2007 (J&D's temp) - "It's tight at the top......."

Game 1 – 10 players - (1st JJ, 2nd Lee, 3rd Jude):

Sharon lost lots of chips early on to Vic's 2 pairs

Sharon then got lucky splitting a pot with Dave after going all in with 10 J vs KJ

Sharon doubled up with A5 vs JJ's A9 with trip 5's

Dan doubled up with AQ vs A8 of Dean after hitting Q on flop

JJ (lucky ****) doubled up with J10 vs my 55 after hitting a 10

Vic out first to JJ's full house

Dean out next to Sharon's AA

Sharon all in with KK ran into Dave's AA and unlike last week, Dave hit A on flop. Sharon out

Dan out next to JJ's AA

Jude (JJ) - JJ (KK)
flop : 8 9 10. turn : A river : 7 - Jude hit straight on river to double up - ouch !

Ilan doubled up vs JJ with AQ vs Q7. JJ very very short stacked

me (99) Lee (AJ) JJ (AK) all all in

J on turn and Lee in heaven until K on river wins it for JJ - I out. unlucky !!!

JJ doubles up again with 10 J vs Lee

And again he doubles up vs Dave with 62 spades and hit a 2 !

Another huge hand:

JJ (AJ) Dave (55) and Ilan (A9)
flop : Q 6 7 and Dave still winning
turn: 9 and Ilan now in the lead, but....
a J on the river sends Ilan and Dave out and JJ (lucky ****) now huge chip monster !

Lee cremates Jude with 4 kings

Jude doubles up twice but fulls in 3rd place to JJ's full house

JJ wins with JQ vs A9 and hits Q on flop. Lee 2nd.


Game 2 – 7 players - (1st Dave, 2nd Dean , 3rd Lee):

I lost shed loads of chips early on with KK being pipped by Lee's AA (Doh !!)

and then I got knocked out by Dean's 2 pairas on the flop to my pocket 8's. Early to bed for me....

blah blah blah until Dave finally takes it vs Dean heads up.

2 jokes from my Dad:


A store that sells new husbands has opened in New York City, where a woman may go to choose a husband. Among the instructions at the entrance is a description of how the store operates:

You may visit this store ONLY ONCE!

There are six floors and the value of the products increase as the shopper ascends the flights. The shopper may choose any item from a particular floor, or may choose to go up to the next floor, but you cannot go back down except to exit the building!


So, a woman goes to the Husband Store to find a husband. On the first floor the sign on the door reads:


Floor 1 - These men Have Jobs.

She is intrigued , but continues to the second floor, where the sign reads:


Floor 2 - These men Have Jobs and Love Kids.


"That's nice", she thinks, "but I want more."


So she continues upward. The third floor sign reads:


Floor 3 - These men Have Jobs, Love Kids, and are Extremely Good Looking.


"Wow," she thinks, but feels compelled to keep going.


She goes to the fourth floor and the sign reads:


Floor 4 - These men Have Jobs, Love Kids, are Drop-dead Good Looking and Help With Housework.


"Oh, mercy me!" she exclaims, "I can hardly stand it!"


Still, she goes to the fifth floor and the sign reads:


Floor 5 - These men Have Jobs, Love Kids, are Drop-dead Gorgeous, Help with Housework, and Have a Strong Romantic Streak.


She is so tempted to stay, but she goes to the sixth floor, where the sign reads:


Floor 6 - You are visitor 31,456,012 to this floor. There are no men on this floor. This floor exists solely as proof that women are impossible to please. Thank you for shopping at the Husband Store.


PLEASE NOTE:

To avoid gender bias charges, the store's owner opened a New Wives store just across the street.

The first floor has wives that love sex.

The second floor has wives that love sex and have money.

The third, fourth, fifth and sixth floors have never been visited.

Shmuel had a bad car accident involving a large truck. Weeks later, in court, the trucking company's fancy lawyer was questioning Shmuel.


"Didn't you say, at the scene of the accident, 'I'm fine,'?" asked the lawyer.


Shmuel responded, "Vell, I'll tell you vat happened. I just put my dog Moishele, into the..."


"I didn't ask for any details", the lawyer interrupted. " Just answer the question."Did you not say, at the scene of the accident, 'I'm fine!'?"


Shmuel said, "Vell, I just got Moishele into the car and vas driving down the road...."


"The lawyer interrupted again and said, "Judge, I am trying to establish the fact that, at the scene of the accident, this man told the Highway Patrolman on the scene that he was just fine. Now several weeks after the accident he is trying to sue my client. I believe he is a fraud. Please tell him to simply answer the question."


By this time, the Judge was fairly interested in Shmuel's answer and said to the lawyer, "I'd like to hear what he has to say about his dog Moishele."


Shmuel thanked the Judge and proceeded. "Vell, like I vas saying, I just loaded Moishele, my lovely hundteleh [dog], into the car and vas driving him down the highway when this huge semi-truck and trailer ran the stop sign and smacked my truck right in the side. I vas thrown into one ditch and Moishele vas thrown into the other. I vas hurting, real bad and didn't want to move. However, I heard Moishele moaning and groaning. I knew he vas in terrible shape just by his groans.


Den a Highway Patrolman came along. He could hear Moishele moaning and groaning so he vent over to him. After he looked at him, and saw vat terrible condition Moishele was in, he took out his gun and shoots him between the eyes.


Den the Patrolman comes across the road, gun still in hand, looks at me and says, "How you feeling?"


"Nu, Judge, vat vould you say?


And on that note, that's all for this week.
