One of "THOSE" Nights...

A small game this weekend so a short wrap up - oh yes, and possible because our host had another golden horseshoe up his arse....Personally, I blame it on the surround system showing pre-game that I took in mindlessly, and left after with even less in my mind (is that possible?) - you will see a link below to show you that perhaps, Mr Zeus, was maybe trying to tell us something with his TOP GUN showing.....

Anyhoo, game started a bit late awaiting Stuey whose 96.8% turned into a 1%, 0% - probably for the nest dude but we all did leave by 1045 with lighter wallets and a "what the hell was that" smirk on our faces....just watch where you step in your driveway Mr Zeus 'kersplat'

So, the battle began non chalantly enough....usual small pots, some big ones, but nothing too huge. Poor GI Joe went out pre-rebuy but was smart to only come bacl with ten....as post 10 was ridiculous.

With a7 he took poor GI out again - An all in preflop looked good for our Airboy when the flop hit A25, he holding A2 (Zeus had A7) - Kodiak had started the hand with KQ suited but the Ace made her fold with a $2 bet on the turn. Of course, the 7 came to Zeus on the river....

A-2-6 was the magic cards though - Rico flopped them more than 4 times, once back to back...good lord!

The big hand, taking both Kodiak and Rico out was an All-in move pre-flop by Kodiak with AK offsuit - quickly called by Rico with pocket tens....and called by monster stack Z with, 23 diamond suited. All cards shown and GI Joe started to flip. Well, two diamonds on the flop. Nothing to lep Kodiak - could Rico win? Nope, AN Ace on the turn....Could Kodiak win?? She DID NOT EVEN FLINCH BUT SAID, "here comes the diamond" and PLOP PLOP FIZZ FIZZ----shooting out of the drawers of Z, a 9 of freekin diamonds for a flush....

Good luck fireshirt - fianlly called with an all-in 15 minutes later at 1045 - Firshirt held K diamonds and J Hearts. Zeus held Ace diamonds and a queen of hearts.....and hit the Queen on the turn.

No quotes even as most of the game was censored with a little person watching......

But again, looking for a tell about Z?
Check out the truth behind his TOP GUN......

Happy St Paddy's Day Game wrap up....

One musical interlude will describe Kodiak's thoughts on this past weekend's game play.....

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UArJpA9wm-w

Anyhoo,

13 playa's descended onto Fireshirt's home (with Mrs Curious) this game around. A huge pot after some rebuys and some "crazy play" ended up with a game end time after 330, three ladies hitting the coin, and some wild and wet outside adventures. Go Pete!

Pre rebuy, first to go, after about 100 all-ins or so we think as we were at two tables...the "all-in chaos" and the "25c raise? I fold!" were again distinctive at the onset....but yes, first to go was tracey the tree hugger...outed by James on a daring call after the board was laid out with a flush draw, a straight draw and a full house possibility. She moves all-in, he holds QQ and has 2 pair and calls....she had Ace high. Good lord!

Back on the on table, Rico fell pre rebuy by Ross. Rico moves all in at the flop with JQ (hearts)...flop had hit 8-9-10 (heart-club-club). Ross calls with his JQ (spade and club). Ah, a split. Nope! Ross catches a back door flush when a 3 and a 2 of clubs fall. Bad beat, more $ to the kitty.

Also out by 10 was Chaos man but unsure of that hand altogether.

After 10, some fell fast again. Others cockroached on.

First out, tracy the tree hugger taken out at 1015 by Nikki. She gets to now become our server girl - and quite a good one, although i expect she was disgruntled by the tips. Then Heather fell taken down by GI Joe and GI Jane with AQ - flop had hit 10-5-A, she makes a move and is called by both, who both have 10-5 and 2 pairs, after calling a preflop raise. uh-huh.

Chaos man fell next by Fireshirt but my green crayon scribbles do not show how...although I think this was the hand where the board was laid out and Fireshirt said Chaos man had outs left....all the cards were down, eesh...and he was dealing!

Gi Joe fell next after taking tracy's seat when people switched up to even the tables, also taken out by GI Jane....again, beaten by a girl :>)

And then the two worlds collide with 9 playa's in, and a huge freakin stack by GI Jane. She quickly smushes Kill...who frequents the tree now as well, and reamerges damp and mussed up, He on the straight draw, she calls with KK. KK holds the fort.

Kodiak gets one out (after almost being out at 11) - She fires bacon in a big way when calling his preflop allin - his KQ did not hold vs her KK. Bam!!

And then GI Jane takes down Ross who had been greatly weakened in another hand (I think by Stuey?). He has no choice but to move all-in with about $4, her Ace high holds. GI Jane's next victims were Fireshirt and Stuey, in order. In Stuey's hand, Flop was 10-J-3. He moves with 7-10, she calls with K9 but turn and river hit a QQ and she gets her straight.

Rico falls next, bubble boy, by Gi Jane. Flop had hit 2-2-10. He figured his A-3 was good with her check. He makes a move, she calls (it's very few chips to her!)....She has the 10.-9 and her pair holds. It also should be noted, Rico had his luck used a few hands earlier moving all in with KQ. Kodiak calls quick with AK but he hit the queen to double up.

Left in play, all in the $ are Why Not Kim, Kodiak and GI Jane. Why Not is short stacked, gets some cards and makes her move. GI Jane calls and her hand holds.

Then the brutal head-up tourney begins......Kodiak is short with ony 1/4 GI Jane's stack. She gets a few great hands that hold early on, in the first 10 minutes and quickly the roles are reversed but then nothing, and we mean, nothing happens for a long time after that. No raises, or some but they are almost all called (even kodiak's preflop$20 with AK called with 94 offsuit - she hits a FH - Must be the Irish luck - good play though). Flops and turns are very frequent and even river shows... but high cards take pots...there are splits...there are ltd raises with top pairs. It's a debunkle....but all so worth it to watch everyone who is left waiting to drive people, drink a lot or just curse. about an hour later, Kodiak is wiped out. She was at a loss, and although she doesn't have the cash for the kids' swimming, she has enough to buy a 24. Whew. Home time-and in bed by about 415. eesh.

But a great game and lots of fun.

Some quotes...

Fireshirt " Rub me, rub me ! Where is Colin White?" (as overheard by table one)

Stuey" Is that your leg James?" overheard by Table one

About My Phee, "As the Master seaman, he shoves stuff into a tube"

Rico, about Tracy, "Everytime we took a trip, she licked my timbits"

See, even when you don't play, we talk about ya!

Kodiak out

Ok - so I am late again (no, not pregnant!)... we start a new game in just 4 hours but I have a second amidst mommy duties and eBay calls to update on what happened 2 weeks ago....thus avoiding another 2 week synopsis....

Kodiak was host to a cool 6 playa's - Rico, Zeus, Kill, GI joe, GI Jane and Kodiak were in for the play - 4 handed all-ins, brutal bluffs, steamed fried zeus etc etc...

First, a disclaimer - I, Kodiak the pig, did not take notes for this game nor do I recall some of the quotes that will be mentionned. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact Rico.

So, The big hand before 10 saw 2 all-outs and a 4 way all-in - it was the big hand of the night and a rescue for one cockroach. Right after GI Jane makes a move the hand before..., without callers with AA, Kodiak speaks, "well, if I get AA It would be cracked the way this game is going...(kodiak was down to about $12)

So, next hand, the BIG ONE,
GI Joe, riding the short bus, pushes all-in preflop - it's about $4. Rico folds. Kill folds. Zeus calls. Kodiak reraises all-in with about $6 more. GI Jane calls after a brief ponder. Zeus debates, looks at the pile o chips and calls.

Board falls J 7 2. Gi Jane moves all-in. Zeus calls.

Flip 'em!! GI Jane shows pocket 5s. GI Joe shows J4. Zeus shows 67 suited. Kodiak flips the bullets - but will it hold? will her comment just moments before be her destiny?? Zeus is on a flush draw. What if a 5 hits?

NOT!!

Turn shows a Q and with another Q not to fill the flush Kodiak knocks out 2 players, more than triples up and Zeus lives. 2 rebuys and some partials then the real game begins.

First to fall after 10 was GI Joe, lost to Kodiak - his 55 did not hold to her A when the A hit the board.

Then Kill who is in off season mode, loses to Zeus - His A4 vs Zeusy's A6. the 6 counted. Zeus is loose!

Next to fall was GI Jane (but she has beaten GI Joe twice tonight!). Kodiak takes her down - her all in with 84 vs the A9 did not go anywhere as the Ace high was just good enough.

Then after multiple losses, steams, bad kicker calls, or attempts and multiple bad timings vs "jimmy trips" landed him in third against Kodiak....Say, what?? He moves all-in with 5s - But Kodiak had teh one eyed Jacks and they held. Whew.

But dang - Kodiak in heads up...it's been over a year ! And against the one piggie we don't want to....It was almost even going in but after about 25 minutes of play, a few bluffs by Kodiak and well timed ones by Rico, she got small stacked and was wiped by 8-6 vs her 8-5. She, on a straight draw, he with it after the flop. Not the best play by Kodiak but she tried. Next time Rico...I avenge!

And the quotes.....

eesh.....

Gi Joe to Zeus, " He'll be banging himself on the nuts later"
Zeusy "You're going to start playing tighter than a duck's arse"
Kodiak to Zeus (apparently)"well, aren't you a squirty birdie?"
Zeus to Kodiak, " Easy....get your hands off my stack"
Zeusy " Gonna take yourself for a ride on whitey"
Zeusy " wait a second....i'm all out of whitey"

Notice the quotes were all about Zeus......it was one of "those" nights...

Till we meet again my little piggies,
Kodiak out

February Round Up

Well, Kodiak got a wee bit busy this month - every time I sat down to write a blog, I had upteen messages for my eBay biz so I will round up all of feb in one blog today, just in advance of what appears might be a good game this evening...sorry for any spelling errors but I refuse to check this one!

February saw us in two games - one chez Kodiak with 10 players, and one with a new host, Bacon and 9 players - including long lost - i win with 3 pairs - mr Phee.

The first game proved to be quite a battle with some daring (or insane) calls, not a lot of raises, and well, a whole lot of giggles. With 10 players in, we all wanted the pot especially with 5 rebuys. But alas, it just wasn't to be for 9 of us poker wannabees.

First out, officially, was Mr mumbles taken down by Rico - a good move just before a blind raise - he quadded up in short stack and no rebuy.

Then Heather was knocked out by Ross's AQ vs her 77 - the flop had hit Q24 and she moved all-in but Ross called with top pair, top kicker and no seven came....

Bye Bye Joe!! (and yes, GI Jane beat him....) taken down by Sir Rico with KK. The flop had hit K5J and Joe held K5. up the creek without a ladder as Kodiak says....

Bye Bye James - taken down by Jason - James is low man, moves allin, called by Ross and Jason. Ross with A 10, Jason with A2 but the board fell J3534 so Mr Mumbles pulls a straight.

Gi Jane goes next taken out by Zeus Flop hit 744 - a four on the turn - Nik has pocket pair but Zeus had the four.

Mr Mumbles j10 is next taken down by Kill K10 - mumbles makes his move after the run - board looked like KJ910 - a five on the river no help so Kill's two pair is just a bit better - owie!!

Bubble point girl Kodiak falls next taken down by Zeusy - she's got 8s in the hold and makes her move, called by big stack with J9. And of course, he hits the nine!!

Rico next goes taken out by Zeus dangerous call with only one pair, top pair as it was, with rico's big puch all in - he had lots of outs but none of them hit.

Next hand....Kill gone by ?? Must have been a good one cuz I can't recall!

Ross vs Zeus and Zeus gets to go home and buy power tools two hands into heads up.

Whew......two weeks pass and off we go to Bacon's where the Bronco's Rule, the veggies run free, the tablecloth blinds (but the felt feels oh, so good) and Fireshirt James wears silk....sort of....

9 players in. 4 rebuys. Fun game ~ my details are slim but I do have the knock out pregression and some quotes.....

Mr Phee and attempting to take a pot with a mini straight is knocked out by James. Next to fall is Bacon outed by Kill - preflop all-in a4 vs QQ - no aces so the ladies work again for Kill.

Bye bye Kill though after Ross-a-roni (the real san franciso treat) and Gi Joe call his all-in preflop - Kill holds 33 (we should mention he had just be really demolished by Rico in a blind hand...)GI Joe flips JQ and Ross flips AK - board falls 44779. Ace kicker takes it.

But Ross fell next by GI Joe - Ross held KK, played slow but called and all in b Joe - he hit two pairs. Kings were beheaded once again. And the cockroach, bubble point girl went away again by GI Joe and I can't recall how. But the big hand? Gi Joe taken out by Gi Jane next....The girl is on a roll...

Rico goes at third with some pride losing out to Fireshirt, who eventually takes the kill home to Kim and some cool $ for perhaps another shirt......eek!

Some quotes of the month....

Rico "I had to jam it down with my sock"
Fireshirt " what's the sticky tarry substance on them?"
Fireshirt, about Rico, "he only knows Pete from the top side of his head" (rem midget chair kill?)
Gi Jane to Gi Joe, "is it just you and me? Oh God!"
Zeus to Heather, "The girl is on sundial, she needs a stopwatch"
Zeus about Mumbles, "he's trash fondling you"
"leave Captain Morgan alone!"
Mumbles to Zeus, re heather's dealing authority..."you're not the dealer, don't tell me what to do!"

And the pics above are from the first adventure almost a month ago !
