Bok Bok Chico Blue Moon re-CAP! 2/26

This game was originally slated to be Chico vs. 415 but it appears Andy got wise and decided to play with his Hamms drinking backwoods a$$ jug band instead (f'ing coward).

I get to the house of Clipper and notice the sweet smell of Jumbalia in the air. Franks on the deck with headphones on, smoking a cigar psyching himself out, I can tell he's on a mission, a mission he gets a lot of help with.


Frank - Aces, KK, Boat, Quads, trips, was pretty obvious the poker gods were not going to allow frank to lose this one, he was pummeled with hands. Final hand Erik AA vs Frank Kx board is kxxkx, way to catch! Factoid, it took Frank OVER a year to pull down a win, wonder how long it'll take for the next one? Happy win day to frank, lets all sing it to him and let him blow out the candle.


Erik - Nice graduation from the kiddie table game of last week, he don't play much but when he does it gets interesting, sometimes. Sweet move of the night is when he's heads up with frank and makes frank lay down KK, cause and A showed, ah but Erik shows the J7!


Chris - Well well well look who broke even. He even had Aces! what is the world coming to?




Trishan - Was the human pinata for most of the game, then went to a shovedonkfest and won about 6 of em. Not bad when the blinds = 900 it almost makes one look like they are good, but a crucial doubling up of Erik ended the luck parade. Then there was one last embrace with all in, then it was gutting time for the cripple.




Adolfo - A nice video of me getting high by licking the blood of Bec and Carlino off the razor blade I slashed them with, too bad I lost the coinflip to Erik during the shovefest.


Carlino - Sophmore slump sophmore slump sophmore slump, as Morrisey says, "We hate it when our friends become successful", cmon admit it we love to build em up and tear em down. Back to the crying pillow for the cursed year kid. On the upside John doubled him up, ah big wow.


John - Ugh how is this kid still 3rd on the cash board? Typical John, big stack early and finds a way to donk em off (infinate loop), meh non factor.


Rebecca - The food smelled great, thanks for the Tums, it got rough for her early.


Aaron -What the hell was I thinking taking Aaron to last longer than Erik? (Sorry Erik) Easy side action money for John. His last hand was classic AK vs Franks AJ board hits JxAAx, the oscar goes to Frank for going master thespian on Aaron, just sold him a lemon to drive home in. First out First out First out beyond trainwreck.

Year of the Orcas

I made this blog cause our former blog was unable to handle (yet) video, ok enough on that. Back to the good stuff. So much has happened since I last updated the status of underground poker or as the mafia would call it "this thing of ours". Some have risen, some have went flat, some are in a tailspin and some have died. Alas there is a glimmer of hope and it's called time, theres alot of year left, well kinda 9 months essentially and it looks like we may be on our way to a record amount of games played if all goes well.

A big congrats to Ryan for being bestowed the most coveted honor of being voted into this thing of ours (even if he hasn't grabbed a win yet), just remember Ryan the first rule of fight club!

So what has transpired? The tournament of champions where a very unlikely winner rose from a cursed existence, others were showered with extravagant prizes and awards of honor and dishonor, ps I hate you Betelnut for screwing us out of our private room, should have expected as much from the Marina (yuck lets not make mistake again).

TOC


Chris - Had an insane amount of luck at his back all night, there was no way he was losing this thing, keep reading and sharting your pants. Chopped a straight, then cripples Julie with a 10c 4c when he catches the Ace of clubs on the river for the nut flush.


Adolfo - Looks like the cobras have turned into seals with Chris and myself as the Killer Whales. Heres a nice video of us playing with John (factoid, john was 1st out of the toc last year). Chris flops a flush, I catch a bigger flush on the turn, wow Chris doesnt win a turn card for once. Chris knocks my KJ out with 99 game over. Factoid, i'm a back to back 2nd place TOC casher wow!


Carlino - Level 5 blinds are 400/800 3 mins left Lino goes all in in 1st position with A5off, Trishan folds, Frank calls with AK, 5 comes and Frank gets no help. Ah but later hes all in with A9 off vs Chris's Ad8d 8 hits on the turn.. Carlino all in with 8c2d, Chris calls with KsQs, Chris flopps an f'ing K high flush! Cute, the sophmore goes back to back cash, but I see more drought and sickness in his future.


Trishan - Had a monster stack and pissed it away only to be knocked out by Chris's J8 he catches a J and it's buh bye trishan. Although he got his little commie pinko nader lets pay everyone way either way you slice it, it still stinks of a bubble to me.


Erik - Chris calls Level 6 all in with A10 vs. Eriks AK chris catches a turn AGAIN! 10 Erik is gone. Was he even there? Meh, I predict a kiddie table win in his future/past.


Frank - See Carlino redonkulous suck out above, Frank cries about it happening to him last year too. By the time all of you read this it with have been over a year since Frank has won a game, ugh.


Brian - Had AA got no action, later he goes all in with 88's but is up against Trishans AA buh and indeed bye thanks for the awesome trophy. Factoid, Brian is a 7th place TOC 07/08 back to back casualty, ugh.


Rebecca - So mean of John to throw this sub in with the "champions" it was like when Mike Vick had little dogs for his pits to train on, she has trips with julie and trishan in the hand, julie folds, unfortunately for her trishan is chasing the second best flush and guess what happens on the river? Spade flush heartbreak for bec. Later Carlino pops it up to 400 with AA, bec goes all in with 77, erik calls with AA! Buh bye to the substitute.


Julie - Level 2 Oh glorious J10 meets a J river friend oh but whats that, Trishan has trips? Is there any shame worse than going first out at the TOC? Oh yeah not making it.


Post TOC open Game

Brian - I take a nice chunk out of him when i river a K with AK vs his 88. Julie has 10,4 vs Brians 99 she hits a straight he hits a flush and knocks Julie out.

Carlino - Comes storming out of the gate early taking chips. He goes all in with 99, gets a dream call from Brian w/22 and Aaron with 8d5d, Carlino's 9's hold and more than doubles up. Boom Aaron gone. Carlino goes all in withe KQ, Brians priced in and calls with A7, board hits KQ Lino doubles up. Carlino bets big with QQ Chris calls with AK 52Qj6 and Chris is knocked out.


Frank - Doubles up through Julie when his 66 vs her A6 turns into a full house. Brian pops it up w/Ax, Frank moves all in w/99 for just a tad more, Brian folds. Level 7 shovefest frank all in with A9 vs Chris AdQd they both hit a straight and chop it.


Julie - But whats the good one was when she has KK vs. Chris 62 flop board comes 6q6q4! Julie is now crippled pops the big blind 3x's, Trishan goes all in 8k, Carlino goes in the tank and folds AJ, Brian chimes in later he folded A6, Julie then calls w/QQ, Trishan shows AK, Q's hold and Trishan is crippled. Result, no money on the bubble.

Chris - Played 10,9 flops and turns a 9 = trip 9's vs AA's takes a nice pot down.


Trishan - After getting crippled from Julie he goes on a shove fest, wins blinds from Julie. Then he shoves with J10 vs. Brians 88 board comes 62457 and it's goodnight for the big whiff king.

Adolfo - I catch trip K's on beccas AA, god i can set my watch to that. 5th time becca had aces cracked in i dont know how long. I was beteldrunk with gold coins from the toc to care about this game.


Aaron - Made his goal to fourth out, oh the stink of 2nd tier poker.


John - Goes all in vs frank with 99's Frank has KK flop comes a 9 turn is a K, puts John on life support. Brian knocks him out with trip Q's on the river. The tailspin continues but no more for this night.


Justin - Brian takes him out when his JQ catches the J and it's boozing time for Justin.


Rebecca - Shes gets a J hight straight but Julie has the draw to the K high straight. She's all in level 3 with A6, Carlino calls with QQ board come 2QKA4 and knocks her out. First out first out first out rough night.
