The Fantastic Four
This weeks action.....
A damp winters night in Auld Reekie results in a loss of attendance after only one weeks play. Newly appointed member Colin can t make it as his misses has him chained to the radiator in a pair of cotton panties. Fran-Man is holed up in Gorgie with a bag of badness and the boiler on full Tilt. Senior is still doing work in the community in Norn Iron, Currie's a disgrace, Rossi is working on the guns (downloading smut), Jason has a full load of infirmed folk to look after and Gregor's in London locked in a hotel room with the misses and a box of rubber gloves.
The game looks to be cancelled as Gordo starts making all kinds of crazy excuses but after several negotiations he settles for a lift home to the Fort and manages to sort himself out. Myself, Dougie, Raff and Gordo get down to business in a winter warming winner takes all 4 way battle.
In the absence of Gregor, Gordo is able to pull a few moves and sets about raising everyone of pots and amasses a stack. Raff falls victim and looks to be set for a ride to Dwindle Central. Gordo puts in a few raises against yours truly but walks in to a Flush, a raise of 18 on the river is doubled by me and after his earlier form Gordo pushes all in. Some change avoids him the spoon and he sets about getting his chips back.
Raff pushes all in with A10 suited, Gordo calls with 10J, 10's are dead but the flop brings 10j and its all over Rafferty, who now finds himself in the Red.
The battle for the bubble and Gordo gets involved again flopping top pair but walks into my set and gets some some soap for his efforts.
Heads up me V Dougie, normally a 10 hand affair, but not tonight. Me with the chips lead initially soon swings as we swap places. After 45mins the tides are turned again. Dougie makes a move and gets a call with my flush draw and middle pair. Dougie leads after the turn but I hit my rag on the river to put the big fella into second spot.
Till next week.....
