Bullets for Budgies
This week's action.....
Here we go again, second biggie of the year and already 2 cancellations: Denis prefers dinner with mummy, whilst Jason is still reading books about how to play poker.
Five ways with all the regulars that come every now and then.
No laptop either so back to the old school button and card drawing for position.
Roundhead eager to get back to the top starts the bullying early and accumulates a decent pile of clay. Mainly taken from gregorious, who seems to be out of luck these days.
Pete gets a fellow big stack holder, me, by collecting chips from Collin.
After a reasonable time and some tasty potato pancakes later the first all in is between Greg and Pete. Greg’s AJ suited doesn’t hit and he soon forks out another tenner for the 2nd hundred. Next one to follow is Collin… don’t know what happened there, but I’m sure he was behind all the way.
Top ups for the rest of us and it is before the blinds go up to 7/15, right? Need to get that one in my head.
Greg adds another splinter to his collection and secretly curses Gordo for not taken the spoon for everyone else.
Collin didn’t want another bubble and decided to go out on 4th spot. That gave him lots of time to dig in some ice cream filled pastry and his mind went completely blank when the best of premier league 2003/04 started.
Three ways! Me against two birds and on the lowest stack, too.
Cards are in my favour though and I get what is needed to shoot those budgies – Bullets.
After a few All Ins without any callers it’s Dougie first who thinks his cards are good enough to call. Nothing wrong with his KJ apart from me sitting on AJ – first blow leaves my Nemesis crippled. And on comes the Rocky theme tune; coincidence? I don’t think so!!!
Only two hands later it’s time to go heads up again: Dougster with the suited dogs and I had a rag Ace.
Flop brings a King and the Vulture’s hopes are as high as himself - only to be crushed by an Ace on the turn.
The only thing the Scavenger is picking up today is some of Fairy’s finest.
Heads up takes a wee while with small amounts of chips moving towards the Roundhead.
Eventually Pete is in the chip lead and plans to make a big move. I call his pre flop raise and out comes the flop 7AA. The Gull’s All In with a pair of ducks (any more birds around?) is happily greeted by my trip Aces.
44 is the number of chips left and Pete is all in blind.
Immediately call, blind, and a turn of my cards reveals pocket binaries! But Pete’s eyes brighten up when his cards turn out to be 2 Kings.
But that was it for Pete, next hand another All In and Pete’s out.
40 quid for Pete to replace his ‘as good as money’ scraps of paper and more importantly: Top Spot for the gull!!!
