Onto last nights festivities.... Wow. There we were, Red and Myself sitting on our tods contemplating joining some cult in some forgein land when a few souls drift in off the streets. So we get on the horn to Yoda and Bob the Builder who are in some fine establishment perving on young women and getting themselves generally osified and tell them to haul ass up to the fortress of not-so-solitude. So to cut a long story short we did indeed have a game last night. Unfortunately for the Blessed One his lucky streak did not hold and even his mighty power, known as K9 off suit, was smashed upon the anvil of felt!! Aces were busted yet again and tears were shed over typical gutshot calls and people hitting runner runner.

In the last hand of the night all seemed quiet, not a creature was stirring, not even a Yoda! Preflop action saw no increase, even the flop saw a tumbleweed float across it. Then boom the turn hits bringing a straight on board. All of a sudden Bob the Builder and Hank the Tank went into a betting frenzy which ended up with Bob all in!!! It was an absolute car crash when the cards flipped over to show that Bob had the nuts and Hank had the second nuts!

Oh just to let ye know anyone can leave comments on the blog now...not just registered members so keep them coming in.

And here endeth the lesson......

Thats all from me folks, currently sitting in a little sit n go on my beloved laptop! Thats right I bit the bullet and decided to play online again. Woohoo. Caboose is back!!!!!

Love

Anyhoo did you think I'd leave it go there???? I dont think so. Right while I was away there was poker played up in the club. That and rummy. Why oh why did I have to bring that game into the club. As I type this at half 6 in the morning there are 5 lost souls trying to play the game. Bless their little cotton socks. In the meantime I gotta update this wonderful and charming blog. Happy days!

News first:

Cash league is pumping along nicely. Just shy of €1,000 in the pot so far. Nice going lads. Remember anyone with 50 hours qualifies for the tourney final which is essentially a freeroll for whatever the prizepool will be. Stay posted for the date of the final. I promise to have it up here by Wednesday so ye can book holidays. But when it is posted on wednesday there's to be no "But but but but I booked a dirty weekend away with someone elses missus and its the only weekend we can get it on for a full 4 minutes!!!" Once the date's set, its set. Just takes a while to make sure we dont clash with anyone else. Your hours are available on request. 18 is the highest amount so far. Any questions on the league itself can be emailed to myself at kkcardclub@gmail.com or corner me in the club and throw Camels at me to appease me.There are also guidelines at the end of this page just over the video of one of my favourite hands of all times =o)

Some people were enquiring about a small tournament called the WSOP or something like that. The schedule we were talking about is as follows:

1. The H.O.R.S.E $50,000 event commences on the 24th of June


2. The World Championship Pot Limit Omaha $10,000 is on the 1st of July


3. The Big'un. $10,000 Main Event starts on July 6th and the final table is on July 17th.

So there you go. I will be trying to get the final table live on in the club from ESPN. Should be good crack. Will find all the details about it and let ye know. Its worth a watch as ye're sitting there eating choccie biccies and sipping on flat orange.

*****************************************

Today saw a cracking thursday evening of poker. 20 young paddywans sat down to begin their sparring. Yet again I was there to witness Skidrick's run of pure luck. In fact we're changing his name to The Blessed One. I have cracked Aces on many an occassions both on the dealer side and the player side but I must say this was one of the sickest crackings I've seen in a while. The Blessed One sticks in a small raise preflop and the Mullet reraises. TBO calls. Flop comes and again TBO bets. TM raises and TBO ships it all in. TM calls, leaving him with 50 in chips and flips over Aces. TBO flips over K9 off declaring he thought the young frizzy haired paddywan was "at it". Now at this point the only card connecting TBO's hand and the board was a 10 and a 6!!!! Sure enough TBO catches runner runner, in order, to fill a four card straight with his 9. Yowzers! It pretty much continued like this for the rest of the tourney really. Two more calls from TBO for gutshots hit and needless to say he went on to win the tourney. The exalted position of 'Top of the leaderboard' is just beyond the Blessed One's pudgy little grasp. But he is chasing. On the score card of McHammer and the Blessed One I think the Blessed one is ahead. Someone correct me on this?????

Other souls at the final table included, in their finishing positions;

• The DIY man in 10th


• The former Champ's cuz in 9th


• The Mini Goblin in 8th


• The Ewok in 7th


• MC Hammer in 6th


• The Champ Who Could Not Retain His Title For One Night in 5th


• Hank the Tank in 4th


• The Spectre in 3rd


• Condor Man in 2nd


• The Blessed One in 1st. All bow and pay hommage for he be'th a kind benevolent Champ

We also had a rocking Cash Game as well. With a waiting list. A W-A-I-T-I-N-G list!!!!!!! Grooooooovy. The mini Goblin, upon getting knocked out, asked whether or not was it a crazy cash game. Then proceeded to sit down and raise to €50 in his first hand!!!!!!! Eep. He took it down with that bet though in fairness. Wait and Donate put in an appearance as did Chucky from All Grown up who apparently did very well in some card club in Cork. I made the mistake of asking what he played meaning tournament? cash game? what type???? The response was simple...... He played Poker!!! I swear.......one of these days....mumblemumblemumblepokerplayersshouldbeshotgrumblemumble.

We finished up the action at half 5 as most people at the table had work at 6!! God I love this town.

sorry about the length of the blog but its been a while and I do love the sound of my own....er...fingers off the keyboard? Anyone? no? ah well. Well to be continued tomorrow!!

Until then "Give them NOTHING, take from them EVERYTHING!!!!"

love

your friendly
