Somebody call a Doctor......
This weeks action......
With the return of the one and only Doctor Robotnic, 8 heads conform early but several retract due to finances. A Big game for the returning hero sparks the usual controversy from Gordo, who barters for a buy-in as opposed to the £20 freeze-out. The decision rests with the Doc who calls for a buy-in.
Six players include The Doc, Raff, Gordo, Dougie, Gregor and myself. True to form Doc gets involved early doors and the first stack takes a few dents before heading all in V Gordo, Doc takes it down with a better K and revives the stack.
The Doc kindly deals me pocket Aces which are slow played, with a flop of A Q 8 Gordo shoots off a 20 raise, Raff calls as well as me, another Q on the turn and Raff pushes all in, I push all in as well and G-man calls. A car crash of epic proportions as Raff shows pocket 8's. Gordo has 2 pair, Full house A's full of Q's takes it down, as Gordo and Raff get the spare stack out the box.
Gordo gets busy with the new chips, with QJ on the flop, pushes all in with AJ, Dougie calls with QJ leaving the Grape Commander short stacked.
Gordo gets the hand he has been waiting for and pushes with AK but 2 callers in the form of Doc and Gregor check it down to the wire, Gregor takes it down with a pair of 10's. Spoonage for the G-man for the second week running, hopefully next weeks forfeit will be better than this week's which included a packet of cardboard and dip selection and a pack of 20 lemon sponge cakes. The kind a Junkie buys his mother to celebrate his release from prison(remember quality not quantity Gordo)
With a flop of 359, I move all with top pair ace kicker, Gregor falls in love with the paint and calls with AK. No king to the rescue as the silver box is opened and another 10 spot deposited into the tin.
Greg gets busy with the new chips and a raise of 30 is called by me and the Doc, a low flop sparks a move from the Doc who pushes all in , Gregor calls with more paint and no hand as I fold, Doc takes it down with a mighty pair of 3's.
Rafferty moves all in with AK and gets a call from me with QK suited, a glimmer of hope comes as a 10 J comes on the flop, but the host breathes a sigh of relief as the A holds up.
Myself and Dr Dougie Howser buy in at the limit, as the full quota of buy-ins is reached. Raff makes a move short stacked with A6 suited and gets a call from Dr Doug with QJ, the resident doctor hits the flop as Rafferty dons the white gloves for the evening.
3 way turns into an epic battle myself sandwiched between 2 Doctors. With the chip count spread even a battle of mind games starts as some big bluffs get put down and of course duly shown to the folder.
After 40 mins of solid play from the trio I move with pocket 4's Dougie calls with A6 hitting the Ace, leaving me short stacked. I claw a few blinds back and get the stack back to 200 with 1200 in play. Doc raises 90 and gets a call by the Doug, I push all in with 89 suited for a potential cra crash, Doc toils for a moment then calls, Doug folds and sits back to watch safely behind his wall o chips. I get a bit of luck and hit a 9 leaving the original Dr short stacked.
Doc gets doubled up by me before pushing all in with 7's I call with A3 and hit and Ace, leaving the Doc with the soapy bubble on his return. His second bout of bad news for the week as it turns out Dominos have stopped wis favourite Meteor pizza (sales dropped a record 78% on his departure).
Heads up me V Dougie and with no raise pre flop A65 on the board, Doug hits low pair and goes for a bluff, I call with the ace leaving Doug on the super short stack.Doug makes a final move a and gets a call from me with any old muck which holds up.
Till next week.....
£128,000 I'll even leave the sofa!!!
