Never trust a homless man with a dog!!
This weeks action......
News spreads of Compo's £70 haul from the last few weeks, as 8 heads gather for a throw o' the dice. Rumours of a £20 150 chip freeze-out send shock waves across the capital, as we decide on settling the dispute democratically. Sparking numerous phone calls from the Grape HQ "can i count on your vote" is the cry from Gordo, who, he had been employed by John McCain and put to work with such vigor, may have thwarted senator Obama in last years elections.
Players this week include Colin, Gordo, Raff, Jason, Dennis, Old Nik, Comps, and the "not so" Smoke- Pete, as I strap a box of nicotine replacement patches to the coupon in an attempt to give up the evil weed.
First hand and no family affair as Raff and Dennis get involved, an Ace one the board calms things down as a Duo of Pocket K's are shown. All Gordo's earlier efforts in keeping the game to a tenner prove fruitful as he flops top 2-pair and pushes the stack, but the wellies are off for an early bath in Nora Batties as Dougie flops the nut straight.
Jason is next to fell the wrath of the Dougster, obviously fit after last weeks rest. The Duo move with top pair K's, but Dougs Ace kicker beats J's J.
Another trip to Splitsville Tennessee for Raff V Dougie this time as they both move with AJ. Raff is suited but too no avail.
A Raise of 17 from Raff is called by Old Nik with a flop of 10 J junk, as a K falls on the river Rafferty pushes the Stack. After much deliberation Smalls makes a call with the J in his hand. Raff turns 10 Q and looks to have been caught on the bluff, but later reveals he though he had K10 in his paw!!
Colin, who after last weeks spoon produces a bag of Savoury dip, kettle chips and chocolate cake. much to the delight of the inmates, requiring a hoover for the felt. But the game continues regardless. The bringer of food makes a move short stacked with QJ off and gets called by me with QK suited., the K holds firm in the end.
I push all in after a pre-flop raise from Biggy. Who toils fro a moment before calling with AK off. Pocket Kongers for myself and a nervy flop is dealt trying to avoid the Ace which unfortunately for Biggy doesn't come.
Three way myself, Dougie and Dennis on the short stack, who pushes all in and gets a call from me with A4, the four holds as the D-man gets a taste of the soap.
Heads up and a few hands are dealt before a flop of 532, all diamonds, is dealt. I push all in with pocket 6's one diamond. Dougie calls immediately announcing flush with a J7 of diamonds in his tail... or so he thought but it turns out the Jack is in fact more heart shaped than it is pointy! The head falls, but only for a second as another diamond comes on the river. Dougs flush to the 7 is higher than mine to the 6. Dougster apologises then promptly retracts, as he gets the needle out and pockets the loot, but more importantly the points.
Cyberdyne Systems Model 101 returns from the fatherland for next weeks game, which will be a £20 150 chip freeze-out in honour of ourreturning hero, who will of course have a bounty on his shiny metal head.
Till next week....
Get saving fools!!
