Another delayed write up....but this time because I am still nearly flopping about......

Another adventure was had almost 2 weeks ago (April 13th).. did I mention it was a Friday? Let me see, once I had triplets on a Friday the thirteenth...curses... We had 8 show up at Kodiak's door, and all late at 831~ to do battle, including the return of Little Dot and Mike the Mouth. Nice to see ya guys!

It started off with the usual bangs, alerting Dot quickly (wait a sec, do these guys actually play now?)...big pots first hand. No more 25c I fold here little boys....

So, pre rebuy we lost one. Rico. All looked good. Rico moved all in at the flop with AQ and a board looking like 78A. GI Jane hesitates but makes the call....and BAM a 2 on the river. KA POW!

But many were down at the rebuy...5 were topping up...so where was all the cash....damn, Kodiak, where did you get those chips? heh heh

After 10, the play was tighter and the battle was on for who could be short stack. I think Mike was 1.5 inches and Rico was 2, but GI Joe was the winner at 1 inch.

So GI Joe fell to The Keeper (heather)...Yes I SAID GI JOE WAS TAKEN OUT BY A GIRL . He held AA to her J8 clubs and she called his all in at the river but she had hit her flushon that same river when the board looked like, 5J963, and the three was the club she needed)....club, clubbing, clubbing Joe. I say!

Then Rico fell to an inch and a preflop move all with A4 was called by Dot woth AK off suit. The board fell slow ....979AK. Game over.

Then GI Jane lost her momentum and was crushed by Mumbles. GI Jane moves all-in on the river holding AK and a board looking like 5833A. Mumbles held A5. two pair, damn.

Where was Kodiak and all her chips. No movement, up or down, no cards so happy at about 75 just catching enough blinds for the rounds.

Then it happened, the big one and the almost Flop in the midle of my own floor hand. Here how it played....Kodiak is up, Mumbles is not too far behind, but behind and Mike Is Low Man (about 2 inches). Preflop, Kodiak raises out of position to $4, Mike reraises to $10, Mumbles calls the $10, Kodiak moves all-in, Mike, short stack, calls his last inch, then does mumbles. Pot size over 100, 2 are all-in and Kodiak has about 25 left. Flip time. Kodiak flips the rockets AA. Say again? AA. Mumbles flips AK off suit, and Mike flips KJ offsuit. looking good. 2 players may soon be gone....hahahahaha......Then Rico the dealer flops the board. 436......turn is a 2.....looking good.....THAN BAM BAM BAM BANG KAPOW BOOM.....a 5 on the river and yes we have a straight on the board2-6 and a &#^$%#*&^%*#&^%*#&^ three way split. Kodiak wins $1. *^#%*&#^%*&#^%*&#^%*&#^%*(#^%*^#*%^

Sigh. &^$#*&^ Sigh.

So onward...and Kodiak is steaming. Mike falls next officially to Mumbles afterall of that mess.....Mike pushes all in after the river fell with a board looking like A9324 and Mike held AA so trips.....but Mumbles had 25 and hit the straight when Mike hit trips.....

4 left. 3 paid.

The Keeper, Dot, Kodiak and Mumbles and almost even.

But Dot fell first...preflop all-in with A-10 called by The Keeper with J-10. Board fell 9KKQ4 so The Keeper hits her straight.

Kodiak has her money back and since no recovery was made, she fell next to Mumbles. She moves all-in pre flop holding JJ. Mumbles flips KQ and of course, he hit his King. Sniff. Sigh. *&#^%*#&^%#

Heads up and a huge pot. Back and forth for a bit then the last hand....

Mumbles moves all-in on the river with 25 clubs and a board looking like K867J (three clubs so he has the flush).....The Keeper calls with over 100, but she had the Tony Phee straight.

Game over.

No quotes that I can find or remember ... too much cursing in my own head. #&^$*#&^$ three way split.

Kodiak OUT

A blizzard of a game....

Five playa's braved the wee bit o snow this past weekend for an extra game at Kodiak's - all in an attempt to dethrone the Zeus. With a late start, awaiting the four wheelers from the East and West sides to show, it still proved to be a good battle. Another heads-up match between sibling pigs, and a good lil pot for the winner.

Non one completely fell by the rebuy at 11, but we had two rebuy a bit - Kodiak and Rico. Nothing too much, but it served their purpose for sure.

There were some big catches and saves, and some small pots but as we have certainly noticed of late, people are actually trying to play this game.

First to fall was the east side, Bacon taken down by the west side, zeus. Zeus held KK vs Bacon's preflop all-in move with KQ. The Kings held and we were all fearing another night of the Zeus.

Especially when the next to go was Kill, also by Zeus. Kill moved all in with KQ suited. Zeus calls in the big blind with A8....and the high card was looking to hold, and then to make it even sadder, an Ace fell on the river.

Three left....and a battle ensued but soon, Zeus was broken, demolished, squished, trampled on, and eventually flopped on the floor.

The real hand that took him out, although he was left with about $4, was vs Rico. Zeus played it well - flopping trips. He had 10-5 and Rico held A2. The flop looked like 10-10-7. Zeus didn't bet big, Rico thought he was good. And Ace on the turn and Rico was feeling secure and made his all-in move. Zeus, naturally called and with trips, its looking good but then WHAM WHAM, and ace on the river.....heh heh...

And about 3-4 hands later, Kodiak pushes all in preflop after Zeus made a raise. HE had collected some blinds and moved a bit up....He flips his "best hand" pocket tens...figuring Kodiak was desperate. The WHAM she flips pocket rockets and Game over Zeusy boy!!

Then it's a heads up rematch for Kodiak and Rico. Last time, she played at about a level 1 out of 10, getting pecked at until she was out. Bleah. This time, she moved to about a 4. While she caught cards and moved "all-in" over and over, she got bluffed a bit and finally was called by Rico with AJ to her suited JQ and though the Jack hit, his kicker kicked her arse. Dang!

Some quotes,

"That's the sound of the worms eating my nuts" Zeus

"Notorious P.I.G." Kill

Antoher game is scheduled for this weekend and it looks like, as long as things hold, we have the return of some long lost playa's coming in - Little Dot and Mike the Mouth. God help us all........

And Kodiak has the cameras prepped.....:>)
