Uh, writers block? The Dog ate my results? Wanker's cramp????

Ok is there any chance ye bought any of those excuses???? No? Ok then *hangs head* Sowwwwweeee this is so late.

Well then a lot has happened since I posted. No doubt I have forgotten most of it so I'll just have to make stuff up.

One thing that definitly happened was the Royal Flush bonus was busted again!!! This time a gentleman from Waterford was holding K10 of clubs and naturally hit it on the turn. I knew as soon as it was won the gates would open for them. We'll probably be inundated with Royal Flushes for a long time. This came the night of the €120 scalp tournament which went down very well and is now being run every second Sunday. The next one is on the 26th of August. Get involved! Congrats to the Fish as he finished second again. He had a massive chip lead with 5 left and when he went heads up he ran into bullets and a two pair with K5. Unlucky but well done bro!

The Tournament League final is on this Sunday, the 19th. Excitement? Adventure? A Jedi craves not these things. As usual everyone is trying to get their points up but no battle is stronger than the one for first place. The Blessed One (who wishes his name to be changed to Elvis. see story below to catch up) and the Cyclist are battling it out for top spot and its getting close. With one more tournament to go, tomorrow, it is down to the wire!!!! Its actually worth coming in to listen to the slagging when one of them is involved in a pot.

On that note we finally have a saying that we would like to coin. I know everyone says it everywhere but both these lines have been uttered so many times in the last month that I think I cracked like an egg when one of them was uttered tonight. So tell me what you think. The Club's new slogan:


"I know I'm ahead, but I'll fold. I think I'm behind but I'll call"

We are also learning new things all the time in here. Old Father Time is a dealer's choice player and last wednesday the young uns from Cahir were hoping for a round of each. Since it was short handed I suggested that they make it two rounds of each. Now this got lost somewhere in translation. Immediately Nancy was like "Wha' like a round of Omaha and a round of 6 card and a round of Holdem and a.... and a...." After looking at him for several minutes a very slow careful noooooo escaped my lips and I turned to Old Father Time "How about it, oh elderyness, fancy teaching these boys a real dealer's choice game?" With an evil glint in his eyes, a smile upon his lips he nodded and the stage was set. You couldnt get me out of that dealer's chair with a crowbar!!!

Games like Bad Hand, Clock, Rolling Joker, Double Flop Bad Hand/Good Hand, 10 card Omaha were being thrown all over the place. Even a sneaky seven card stud game crept in, much to the boredom of everyone involved. The game of the night was definitly rolling joker. Whatta game!!!! We've nearly convinced OFT to move his dealers choice game into the club. Bring it on! Watching all the open jaws around the place is brilliant. Watch this space for that!

That night one of the biggest pots developed over the space of a split second. Naturally Yoda "The car crash expert" was dealing. Here's how it went. There were 6 callers preflop so the pot total was €12. Remember this number. The flop comes down Ad, Qc, 4d. Its checked all the way to OFT who bets €20. Fair enough. But then Bob the Builder moves all in for €100. It gets better. Nancy thinks for ages, gets off his chair and all and eventually calls. It falls to the Ewok who goes into the tank. I'm currently running behind all of them having a look at the hands and I disappear into the office to stifle a giggle. Next thing I hear call. I come back out. OFT has called out of turn while the Ewok was thinking. Mother of pearl! The Ewok shows me his cards. Kd, 10d. He eventually folds. The turn come Qd. The Ewok gets sick. OFT ships all in for the remaining €29. Nancy calls. This pot started out as €12. By the turn its now up to €370!!! Because it was so big and with the players involved they all flip up their cards. Bob the Builder has A4. Nancy has A4. OFT has AK!!!!! Some turn it pushes OFT in front. River yet to come. And up she pops.....the magical Queen. We nearly all pissed ourselves. You had to be there.

The Elvis blurb. (Its not really long enough to be called a story)

TBO is on the Elvis machine. Now he's pumped his little heart into it over the past few weeks, getting nowhere. He gets it all the way up to €100. The jackpot of €250 is only a press of one button away. He can gamble on high or low with the card thats showing. Its a King. There's only one card above it, an Ace!! I've never seen TBO back off from a gamble and jump around the place shouting what will he do! He eventually plays it safe and takes the €100. The tournament then starts and TBO's knocked out in the third hand and within seconds we can hear the King singing his little mechanic heart out. After only five minutes we can hear TBO sing his little heart out. He went on to win the Jackpot of €250 bringing his total winnings from one machine to €350 on one night. Not bad so as requested we now rename The Blessed One to Elvis. Well done mate!

Thats all the news from the Circle K. I bring you love, peace and socks with no holes
love
