Tuesday 29th. Day 2. We ship out..........

Update on yesterdays as Skid so gracefully reminded me. Regarding the hand that was posted yesterday. Remember? The one with the gutshot? Well there was also a flush out. So thank you Skid.

Some people (2) were asking how to leave comments on the Blog. You gotta register to this site first then you can leave comments. Alternatively you can mail them to me and I'll put them up. The address for the club is: kkcardclub@gmail.com

Right onto tonight or last night for those of you who live in the day time. Let me, once again, set the scene. The two televisions are blaring out Top Gear, Buzz is watching people crash spectacularly on the PC which is also loud. But above all this din the sweet dulcet tones of "Little less conversation little more action please" can be heard blaring from the machine room. Our new addition the Elvis fruit machine. Man its loud. It also has a jackpot of €250. It was only a few hours old and Family Guy "accidentaly" hit the jackpot. So now no ones going to play it for a month! Way ta go, muppet! How the hell do you accidentaly hit the jackpot??? I cant wait to hear this.

15 brave souls show for the tourney and in an early hand on my table, the 4th I think, we see a rematch between Buzz and the Good twin. The Flop comes 8,Q,10 all clubs. Oooh straight flush possibilty. The good twin bets out and Buzz calls. The turn brings an 8. This time the Good twin checks and Buzz bets out. The Good twin calls and the river comes yet another 8 (some dealer!!!!) this time the Good twin ships! He's got Buzz marginally covered and Buzz disappears into the Tank. He spends so long in there I assume he's met the semi Pro and they're having a coffee or something. He eventually declares that he cant fold and calls. He shows the Queen for the house. The Good Twin shows the Ace of clubs and mucks.

Past that there wasnt many surprises. A few suck outs but please this is a poker club. The final table looks like this; MC Hammer, The Fish, New friend, the Cyclist, Mr. Identity Crisis, Buzz, Babyface, Newbie # 2, and Roadkill. 2 go in the first level upon the return, the next level sees 1 more go and a further 2 drop the next level. The final five include; MC Hammer who I believe had Aces busted. Not bad considering he was on the brink at least 4 times. The Fish who had the chip lead when I left apparently got caught in Buzz's lobster pot. Newbie #2 was next in a hand that I have absolutely no idea what went on in. Which left New Friend and Buzz. Buzz takes the tourney and sweet sweet victory when his K6 paired against New Friends Q10 which I believed paired the 10.

In the meantime I'm over at what can only be described as a cash game. I'm pretty sure its a cash game. I have a float, a deck, a button, players with cash chips and the good ole familiar €1/€2 blinds. Yet I get a niggling sensation that Skid and Bob the Builder are playing their own game. Straddles include all in's and verbal "Go all in, I'll call blind". In short it was practice for the lotto tomorrow night. We had Bob the Builder, Babyface, Skid, Roadkill, Fish, The DIY man, Buzz and of course Family Guy. Buzz sits in with a few hands gone and after congratulatory slaps on the back and well dones he settles in by moving all in preflop on his first hand. Just after telling us how he waited patiently for the Fish and how he's perfected his paitience. The way Bob the Builder was playing there was no way he was going to fold and when he looked at his hand there was no doubt at all. So it was pocket 2's for Buzz and Big Chick for Bob. 2's held up!!!

Skid's phone rings and he declares that his next hand is his last hand. He very gently puts €100 in chips aside and claims that he's playing with the rest which is €14. I think we can all see where this is going. He raises preflop for the €14 and Babyface raises. After a bit of banter they're all in! Skid with Big Chick and Babyface with Sigfried and Roy. The case Ho hits the flop and its nighty night Skid.

Some think now that one lunatic has departed, under tragic circumstances, that the game might quieten down. If you believe that I'll sell you your own shoes and charge you extra for your socks. (It should be pointed out that the Good twin was wearing black socks tonight instead of his "girlfriend's" stripey ones. cough cough). Family guy and Bob start betting against each other blind the whole way. Bob gets the upperhand against Family Guy who busts out. But he's coaxed back in to play. At this stage its just Babyface, Roadkill (after getting another night of horrible beats and another cold deck), Bob the builder and Family guy. So Family guy buys in and decides to move seats. He does move chairs but he's in the exact same position as last time. Some times I do wonder. Roadkill succumbs to another batch of beats on a now round of each game and we're left with three. Family Guys moving of seats work as he is now winning hands. Blind of course. Bob eventually falls to the mighty onslaught of the blind play and thats all she wrote.

So there you have it. In a nutshell, good tourney, crazy cash game! Now I do believe I have another bottle of Kopparberg waiting for me at home, with no woman. If it appears that I have a drinking problem, well there's nothing much I can do about that really. I do have to get out of here tho as that bin is reeking of curry chips and sick and all as I am its bothering me.

So I'll leave you there.
love
your friendly
Caboose.

*** Tip of the day: Stay away from Elvis for a while. At least til Family Guy fills him back up. Ooooh sexual references abound!
