Have you seen the Macaroons?
This weeks action....
The kick off is delayed due to traffic problems outside the venue, as 2 heads get stranded in the Slateford area and cant squeeze in to the fun bus only to brave the LRT 44. Gamblers come in the form of me, Raff, Jason, Gregor, Gordo and Dougie keen to get on the points after last weeks back shift.
With everyone aware of how costly the negative points are when it comes to the title race, 6 heads remain after an hours play. Chips get passed around but only Gordo manages to hold onto them, putting in a few big moves on old Nik.
With Jason on the short stack I push all in and get a call, Jason's 9's against AK suited, both hit the board and the set holds good. Much to Biggy's delight before he realises there's a lot of change left which is promptly pushed into the middle in the next hand as I jump on the LRT 56 to Tilt Station pushing all in with 56Suited pre flop with 40 odd chips. The table folds only Gordo left who has a brief pause before pushing with QK off, high cards hold and a royal munson from me as Raff and Biggy brief deep from the super short stack.
The short stacks make a move as Jason doubles up off Gordo , Biggy Triples up followed by Rafferty who doubles off Biggy with a nut flush as Biggy fails to raise the blinds and pays hard for it.
Raff makes a move with 4's against Gordo's A7off but a back door nut flush see's off German number 1, the weekly question is asked "have you spoke to Yurn?" and the weekly response of "no, I'll try him during the week" is given.
Big hands as Biggy puts out Jason with trips before a car crash as Biggy flops a straight V Gordo, who exits for a cigarette must must have swapped it for a bag of scag as he comes back from the kitchen looking like a poor man's "renton". Unable defend himself from a barrage of abuse and unable to operate modern technology much to the amusement of the table.
Gordo dusts himself down and flops a nut straight taking out Dougie with the lower end of the same run. More soap for Doug who misses next week due to scheduling difficulties.
Heads up, Gordo V's his old Enemy. Gordo puts the aggression in early doors and goes over the top all in with 89suited, Biggy makes another brilliant call with K7 off. Both hit the board but the K stands.
All change at the top of the table with only 46 games left in the '09 season.
Till next week....
I'll take £135,000 for it?
