First, I get a bottle of wine from someone for fixing their PC. A nice 2001 Cabernet Sauvignon!!
I played poker tonight as usual and since it was not a tournament night (the next tournament starts Sunday night) not many people turned up. Since not many people turned up there was much more merchandise to go around.
KA-CHINGGGGG!!
Here is what I got tonight:
VB Tshirt. VB keyring. Woodstock Kentucky Bourbon Limited Edition cap.
Aristocrat Money Train stubby holder.
Sweeeeeeeeet!
At first we just had ’stuff around’ games of Texas Hold’em Poker (No limit). If you got out, you just got another two stacks of chips and away you went again.
After the break, we packed up all the $25 and $100 chips and had stacks of $1,000 chips (16 each). A shame cos I was chip leader with one other guy. We were doing well but had to start from scratch again. So, since there were only two tables playing we soon had people out and merged into one table. I made it to the last 6 players.
Unfortunately, I went “All In” (bet all my chips) on a pair of wired 9’s (two nines) and another guy had two tens!! On the flop I got another 9 (last flop card) so I had trips (three nines) and was cheering loudly. Then came the turn.. nothing for anyone.. then the river.. … … A F*&KING TEN!!!!! So he had 10 trips and I had 9 trips and he won the rest of my money (only about $6,000 anyway). Ah well. I stayed around and watched the rest of the game until one person had all the chips then headed home. A real fun time out and no pressure.. just a bunch of friendly people having a great night out!
Sunday night starts the tournament over again so I expect we will be back up to 70-80 players or so, which is about 7-8 tables playing (ten a table).
