Season 10 - Week 2

BPC Season 10 - Week 2

"What's the difference between Santa and Tiger Woods?  Santa stops at 3 ho's."  - Cake
Doh.  So that's how Week 2 of the New Season starts... with a giggle.  Just like it should.  Thanks for that Cake.  Speaking of giggle, let's get to the action.

[8:20]  Steven is here after missing last week, brought the pizza (about 4 metric tons of it) and is dealing.  That's a good man there.  So we'll overlook the Q of hearts he mis-dealt and had to burn.  5 people are in the hand, and the flop comes 7-3-4, all hearts naturally.  Jeff the Champ Hall bets out 1500, and Steven raises to 3500.  Ruby calls and Jeff folds.  Turn comes a 2, no heart.  Steven bets out 3000, and Ruby thinks for a bit, then shoves all in.  Steven calls with pkt 10's, one heart, and Ruby shows 8-5 hearts, for the made flush and straight flush draw.  Steven is gonna need some help with another heart that's not the 6.  There's 5 left so there's a chance, and the river comes... rag.  No help, this is the New Season, no bad suckouts, and Steven is the first casulty.  Thankfully being the stand up guy he is, he keeps dealing for us for a while.

[8:37]  Nicole bets out 500 from mid-position and gets 2 callers behind.  She throws out another 1000 after the flop, and is left with just one caller, Potts.  She makes it 3000 after the turn, and Potts has seen enough.
Potts:  "Nice bluff Nicole, I know you didn't have squat."
Nicole: "Oh really?"  (turns over pkt Kings.) Brugh, I got nauseous just typing that.
Potts:  "Thanks, I only said that so you'd show me."

Yeah, I could have done without seeing them.

[8:39]  Not too much later, I'm under the gun and they come... pkt Kings.  Crap.  Muck them, just muck them.  You've already de-friended them on Facebook, and you're accumulating chips nicely, just don't mess with them.  You don't need them, you're a better person without them.  Muck them and don't look back, just like you learned in therapy this week.  So I did, I actually honestly mucked the pkt Kings, and it felt liberating.  Flop comes 9-3-7, and that looks like a pretty good board for pkt Kings, but screw it, its behind me.  Turns out Potts flopped two pair, and I would have been in big trouble.  I think I dislocated my shoulder patting myself on the back.  Here's to you New Season!

[9:07]  A few limpers in and the flop comes A-J-9.  Cake checks, Hall bets out 1500, and I call with K-Q hearts.  (There's only one heart on the board.)  Cake thinks for about .4 milliseconds and shoves for 5650.  Hall calls for only 300 more, and I fold like a little school girl.  Cake show A-J for top two, and Hall shows... not really sure he did show, but Cake's hand holds up and we're one champ down.

[9:15]  Damn, I just sat on a wet toilette seat.  Any chance at all that was water?

[9:37]  Flop comes 8-7-6 rainbow with 650 already in the pot.  Check all the way to me in the pre-button position (does that have a name?)  I bet out 3200, and Jeremiah smells a rat an calls.  Jeena thinks, and thinks, and eventually folds.  Turn comes a 4, and I bet out again, and again a call from Jeremiah.  Same deal on the river, which comes a King.  I show my flopped straight and scoop a good chunk of Jeremiah's chips.
Jeena:  "OMG, that was a brilliant play.  By me.  OMG that was just a great freaking play be me.  I had the sucker straight and it came.  OMG that was so good.  Yours was good too Kumo, but mine was friggin brilliant."

Ummm... thanks?

[9:44]  Nicole shoves from mid for 5100, getting a call from Jeremiah who shows pkt Kings.  Wow, there they are again.  Good, maybe they're moving on and will start harrassing someone else.  Hope its not you Jeremiah, but sorry for this hand at least, you're done.  Nicole shows pkt 8's and the flop comes an 8 with no King!!!  Holy crap, Kings lose again!  Turn, river, no King, ship it.  But wait, 4 diamonds on the board?  Ouch, I didn't see that.  Either did Jeremiah, who was already counting the chips to send to Nicole.  But one of his Kings is the diamond, so the pot is his, and Nicole is out.

[9:51]  Jeremiah and Ruby in a hand and the flop comes 7-A-10.  Somebody shoves and gets a quick call.  Ruby shows a flopped a set of 10's.  Nice hand, but not as good as Jeremiah's flopped set of Aces.  Ouch, set over set, that always stings.  Jeremiah is on da roll and is at 25,000 now.

[11:00]  Final table is (in order) Potts, Cake, Jeremiah, Kelly, Jeena, Chess, Chris, Kumo and Omar (dealing.)

[11:23]  Omar is all in with A-K against Chester and a King high flop.  Chester has K-7, and the turn comes another King (how many are there in the deck anyways?)  River comes... yup, a 7.  Ouch, the old 3 outer comes through for Chess, and Omar is sent to the rail.

That's all I got, which is odd because there was still 4 hours of play left since we didn't wrap up until after 3:00 am.  Sleep is overrated.

Reminders:

Remember, the next TWO games are on Wednesday.  Next week, we're playing Wednesday 12/23, the day before Christmas Eve.  The following week we are playing Wednesday 12/30, the day before New Year's Eve.

Also note that the week of 1/14 will be a DOUBLE HEADER week, with the usual game on Thursday 1/14, and a bonus game on Friday 1/15.  Love me the double headers.

Karrie - you were originally down for FOOD next week, but I've updated it to KarrieCake, so you and Cake can work it out.  Either way, the KarrieCake team is up for food on WEDNESDAY.
