New Points, Format in place!! Chad stays in 1st.

Well fittingly, Chad won last nights game, taking an early lead in our new format. We are resetting the points, and leaving the kitty as is. We will play through March and provide 2 entries into a WPT/WSOP event early next year. Our weekly game will now be a freezeout. The action took a lot more serious tone and the game was well played. Chad and Harry finished 1/2 two weeks in a row. The bluff of the night caught Tom by surprise, when he layed down K,K against Q's play on the river. Ironcially Tom suffered the "River Bluff" which happens to be the name of the street he lives on!! How about that?? We will be playing next week at Q's Pokerroom, date to follow.

Changes to come with our league format!

After next wednesday's game at Tom's we will be switching formats. We will start playing a $25 freeze out, instead of our usual $20. There will be no add-ons or rebuys allowed, $30 will be taken from the weekly pot for the end of the year kitty. Several players have expressed interest in this and it is a majority. So we will try it. The games will take a more serious tone from the start, as the chips you start with will be what you play with. Our starting stacks will be increased to $500k with our blind structure remaining intact. This will also shorten the games a bit and get everyone home at a more reasonable time. We will discuss whether or not to reset the points or just start from where we are at. See ya Wednesday.

Chad wins a wild one! Harry takes second.

What to say? Hmmmmmm.....Chad.......... dominated. Everypot he raised, he hit, every card he needed, he hit, every card he needed to fade he did. Luck and timing were definitely on his side. Harry hung around, got all-in. Go Figure....and ended up 2nd. Rod finished 3rd. It was a good game as usual, we will play next Wednesday at Tom's at 7pm. See ya there.

Jeff wins with a Suckout, and a suckout, and a suckout.....


After an unbelievable runner, runner suckout to make a flush, Jeff cruised to the victory circle with chapstick on his lips. He held J,J to Chads K,K and flushed up on the river knocking Chad out of the game with 3 left to play. Jeff got lucky more than once and even folded several winners. It was his night. Don't get me wrong he also played some solid poker....The surprise of the night was the stoically quiet Harry leaving in a fit of rage, after Brody held a bigger two pair sending him to the rail. In haste, he tossed his remaining chips in the middle. Which was a good thing for the rest of us, as we are all fully aware of how long he can stick around with a small stack. B-Lib had a nice finish holding on for 2nd place. We will be playing next week at Q's on Monday night at 7pm.

Tom wins Again, survives multiple all-ins!!!!

Tom came back from the short stack with 7 to play, winning every time he got his chips in the middle. Good or bad, pre-flop, Tom prevailed. It was an impressive comeback in a well played game. He eventually won the heads up battle, conveniently on a coin flip. He held 8,8 against Q's A,9 and had Q outchipped by a few hundred thousand. The games biggest hand involved John holding 10,10 to Q's A,K. That pot was about 3 million, crushing Johns huge chip stack, and vaulting Q into a solid finish. Chad had another solid night finishing 4th. Webby climbed out of the depths of the point standings with a 3rd place finish. We will be playing next Wednesday at Brody's @ 7pm. See you there.

*****ALERT***** Game Tuesday 7pm @ Q's

Game Tuesday night instead of Monday. Make a note of it.....Q

Chad takes week 4!! Brody has a monumental collapse.


What should have been a lock in the top 2 for the night, Brody mangaged to donk off almost 4 Million in chips in just under fifteen hands. With some suspect calls Brody amassed what appeared to be an insurmountable lead in chips knocking off player after player, only to finish 4th. That same aggressive yet risky style of play, did him in. It was a Mike the Mouth type of meltdown you just hated to watch, but was easily avoidable. There to pick up the rubble was Chad, Jeff, and John who finished in the money. Chad survived when he was all-in with Jeff holding 2 pair, the board flushed saving Chad, chopping the pot, and ultimately leading to his come from behind win. We will be playing again on Monday Oct. 5th at 7pm at Q's Pokerroom. See you then, and may the flop be with you! This has been the season of the suckout, protect your nuts, although they may get cracked......
