Brian popped his hosting cherry in the new vertical stair freindly, scary dog out front digs. The fresh made pizza was the bomb and the view was stunning. The view was even better with all the cobras that were about to be thrown off his balcony mercilessly. Of note there were lots of back to backs for the night, proceed to the carnage for more...
Ryan - How do you lose with quads? Ryan rhymes with Brian and they were both winners, coincidence?
Adolfo - Back to back second place cash, check out one of the fools I chained up and what I made him repeat.
Brian - Nice game 1 win to game 2 break even, awesome hosting job oh and thanks for the crazy face coffee mug now take that to goodwill first thing in the morning.
Chris - Back to back Bubble letting it all just slip away.
Carlino - Back to back 5th place sigh. I hear he's like some sort of uber level ElfWarrior in World of Warcraft at least. Oh and sophmore slump sophmore slump sophmore slump sophmore slump.
Frank - Had absolutely no business NOT being in Oakland before he inevitably was.
John - Wow house of Clipper was just utterly decimated, a 2nd out then somehow gets convinced to get out of his adult sized baby jammies only to go 3rd out, then finally getting lapped in the cash by not one but 2 cobras.
Rebecca - Do I even need to say anything here? She brought an interesting pumpkin dish, took a bite of pizza then blammo fangs to the jugular first out bye. Ah but whats that? a return for game 2? Ok great, whammo 2nd out! iPhone game time.
Trish - From -1 to FIRST OUT FIRST OUT FIRST OUT FIRST OUT FIRST OUT FIRST OUT sweet sweet train wreck.
Dishonorable mention Justin going out 5th out game one, tried to make a move on me and I made a freaking amazing call to knock him out of the hamster trail.

Back to Backs re-CAP! 5/16/08
Wednesday, May 14, 2008
Come out to play ay re-CAP! 5/11/08 late
Adolfo - Change the word "warriors" and replace with "cobras" to the vid above. Did you see when I twisted the knife in Johns gut to knock him out with his cute little I'm all in with JJ shove? If you zoomed into my face you would have seen a few millimeters of the corner of my mouth curl up.
Chris - Keeps his temp hold on the cash leader board, but I'll bet that changes again soon.
TreJack - C'mon this name is ridonkculous can we think of something else? I'll use the Hai inspired "Trish". Game one 4th out to break even ugh the trainwreck continues.
Rebecca - On the upside she knocked Hai out with AK, his all in JJ's shriveled up and Ryans 99's were crushed too making her the early monster stack.
Frank - All in with a Q8 vs Trish K6 high card won and frank is left with almost nothing. Me and Chris check it down and Chris gets the honor of sending him back to the 510.
John - Had a cute little run but is back to normal now, how did you donks let him get to 3rd in the cash? (as of this game)
Erik - On the downside he went all in with 44's vs Trish QQ buh bye. On the upside an impressive game 1 victory and yes he is the certified owner of Johns soul.
Ryan - Trainwreck 3 way all in (see becca above) followed up by his all in 22's (aka Elvin) crushed when Frank catches a flush on the river.
Hai - Wow game 1 he made 4 bubbles in a row, but alas FIRST OUT FIRST OUT FIRST OUT FIRST OUT FIRST OUT FIRST OUT FIRST OUT FIRST OUT!

horseshoe, shamrock, lotto, luckdonk "poker" re-CAP! 4/11
Chris - Wow I haven't seen a game this stupid in a long time, he didn't even have to show up, should have just bought in put his hat on the chair, went to the Giants game and let his cards do all the work. That is essentially what happened, he had aces, queens, boats, straights, u name it and he was hitting everything, but the amazing part was that he had f'ing Quads twice in one game! Wasn't poker but it was fun to watch.
Ryan - Back to back cash, ran into Chris's quads heads up, no mercy.
Satoshi - Had a monster stack for a while then donked em off for the break even.
Hai - Back to back bubble, sad. Worse part was when he gets knocked out by Chris, Chris has A7 Hai has K10, Chris shows the wrong deck flop and flop hits K but Franks corrects them and the real deck gives Chris the hai le knockout, brutal.
Adolfo - Knocked out by Hai, I'll cash in the next one and knock him out.
Frank - Just reverse him and Chris same thing different game, they both luckdonk one, both go 3rd out. Last hand frank has kq vs ryans 44 flop hits 4 buh and bye.
Rebecca - meh rivered at end of course
Trishan - First out First out First out First out First out First out.
Game 2
Frank - You could have interchanged Chris with Frank or vice versa, the cards did most of the work for Frank. Couple rickdiculous moments of the night was when he goes all in on my with q10 I call with kj he catches the q. But the epic moment was when I genius fold my trips Chris and Frank both have the same straight with J10 then Rebecca says, "runner runner heart" and guess what happens to chris? Frank catches the runner runner heart, it was both halarious and brutal all at once. Think he had aces 3x's this game was insane but not as insane as Chris game one.
Ryan - Back to back Silver, could not close the deal either time, nice double cash though.
Adolfo - All I do is cash.
Hai - The back to back bubble, he did catch a river one game for the patented jump up, "yeah mother f'er!" to the loser moment, awesome. Miracle he actually showed up for not one but 2 games, hope to see more of him in the future.
Rebecca - Couldn't get anything really happening then got snuffed out on the river in game 1 like usual.
Chris - See what happens when it doesn't rain quads all game aww back to normal. See Frank above for the runner runner heartbreak miracle.
Trishan - First out to Second out in one night! Sweet jesus this tailspin is actually making Carlino look good at this point, ugh. On the upside the food was epic.
Satoshi - I'll be nice, glad he could make it to the game, hope he comes more often, ps first out, god why can't i hold back?

In my house now, my house! re-CAP! 3/22/08
Was a gorgeous day in San Francisco and whats the best use of that day? Yes staying inside a dark loft eating pizza watching projected blinds, college basketball on a non hd tv, listening to awesome tunes, and sweet sweet poker. We had assembled an impressive 9 handed game, but both Brian and Ira bok bok lamer'd at the last minute so it was a very motley crew of 7.
An interesting twist was at the last minute I had kooky idea to provide a video stream of the game. So I quickly pointed the web cam at the table, sorry I know the sun coming through the window did not make for an optional image. Ustream.tv provided it all making it very easy to set up and share, you all got the link at the last minute. Anyhow lets get to the blood letting...
Adolfo - I played absolutely perfect, you should all go take lessons from me and study me, ok ok just kidding. I had wild swings, was really up and really down, caught a river flush on Trishan, donked off some chips to Julie, you people happy now? In the end things went well, I had a substantial chip lead going into heads up, but was never a sure thing, I hope Chris puts a bounty on me every week it's great luck.
Julie - Cried about not catching a flop most of the night, was on life support (she just would not die) then got a life saving donation double up from me. Was a good thing too cause she went to work on the remaining stacks making things a bit more even. Highlight of the day was her runner runner flush catch on Eric for a double up. Last hand she has 49 she hits the 4 on the flop of A42, uh oh but i have 35 turn is an A she goes all in I auto call and win. Her heads up stats get an additional blemish.
Eric - Same ole Eric, just solid aggression, not zachlike manic crackhead aggression but consistent firing none the less, wild chip stack swings, he and Aaron were the monster stacks of the night, in his zeal to knock everyone out he ended up doubling nearly everyone up at the end, was a miracle he didn't cash.
Carlino - My favorite line of the night was him looking down on a sorry excuse of a stack then asking, "who took all my chips?", none of us could figure out who had. I knocked him out, as for the rest of his game he had a couple blips of life, but believe me it's not even worth the pixels so meh. Sophmore slump Sophmore slump Sophmore slump, ps he's the only "active" cobra left not to get a win this year but no pressure, no pressure, train wreck.
Aaron - Sweet mother of sassy mollassy, Aaron makes a huge call when Zach goes all in with nothing and Aaron shows the K for top pair. Then he just slowly amasses a monster borg stack, it was so his game to lose relatively early and we all know what that means. Yes he actually somehow traversed his way through insane corn patch maze to find a way to lose all those chips. Bee bo bop beep beep, whats that sound? uh the ATM about to dispense our cash. I knocked him out but that's barely worth mentioning, sigh.
Trishan - Talk about revenge of the river, like I said at the game, Trishan should have just come over and stood with his legs apart and let each of us take a turn kicking him in the nuts then left 22 behind. Wow he was so so so close to first out, check out this picture of me and Bailey holding Trishan up, bad Bailey bad!
Fast K.O - video powered by Metacafe
Zach - Same ole Zach, pedal to the metal in the red GTO without a seatbelt on with half a bottle of JD killed and coke rings round his nostrils scream singing Ace of Spades all the way to first out.
