Low Stakes / 10 Players / 1 Table / 1220 Endtime
For the first time in recent memory, a full table at McJo's, including some who are often absent. Margaret graced us with her presence and good nature in putting up with the usual rack commentary. (Secretly, I think she courts it.) Mark also showed, being on temporary spring hiatus from UT, and brought a friend, Aaron. This was an odd pairing, seeing as Mark is a math whiz and Aaron seemed to have a bit of trouble discerning how to call $1400 with the pretty colored chips. The group of players assembled at the table could have stuck to such safe targets as Aaron's mother, his salary, religion and sexual orientation. But noooo, they chose to attack the obvious, his basic arithmetical personality disorder, which is like calling a person in a wheelchair a cripple. Aaron will be back weekly, I'm sure.
Margaret was the first person to be killed and rebuy, as well as the first to be put out permanently. Quite out of character for her normal "get stacky, wait everyone out, take an overdose of sleeping pills, and 'drunk girl' her way to the winner's circle." However, the males on the west side of the table showed their appreciation for the extended dealing early and often. (I wonder why Lee calls when Maraget plays by herself....)
Martin almost made the comeback of his McJo's career. Down to $300 and being blinded out, Martin doubled-up and tripled-up back into a decent stack. He was playing tight, he was waiting for the right cards...and then he remembered he was Martin. Not surprisingly, he relieved Margaret of her dealing duties.
Aaron was next to go after he called Mick's bet with an all-in, thinking he was over her. Not only was his stack smaller, so were his cards. Yet another painful lesson for the newcomer. However, he didn't have to deal long as Randy bet big, Dallas went all-in, Adam went with a bigger all-in, and, after consulting Carl the Groundskeeper and the Dalai Lama, Randy called. Don't remember what he had (bigger trips on the river?) but it became a double kill. Adam was especially pleased since the hand before he was going to go all-in and would have won...something. Ah, those pesky Tibetan deities...fuckers. Fortunately for the table, he went into another room to recount the latest "worst beat of his entire life." (http://www.hamsterballstudios.com/whats_the_dif.mp3.)
The remaining 5 players traded chips for quite some time. The biggest swing came when Mark, who was big stack, made a $40K call of Mick's all-in with a huge amount of chips already in the pot...and lost. It seemed Mark would not be long, but he kept striking and pecking and even bullying his way back into contention. Ray eventually went out to Randall on some undoubtedly bull shit hand, since Randy bluffs a lot and gets lucky with the board.
Mick, being stacky and commenting on the size of her stack and rack is now in full throat: buzzers buzz, beepers beep, toys rattle, and every 3rd word is "bitches." After Mick takes out Josh it's looking like a repeat of last week: Randy is stacky, Mick keeps eating away, Mark (playing the role of Josh) is trying to hang on by bullying a few chips his way every so often with big b.s. bets. Then, Mick starts with a mid-pair (9s?), catches a straight on the river and starts pushing. Randy has a pair of 10s on the flop, plus an Ace and 4 cards to a flush. He goes all-in, Mick calls....oops. Flush makes on the river, too. Mick...says nasty things.
Heads-up didn't go horribly long, although Mark was pushing for a chop. But, much like Mick he went all-in with a pair and lost to a flush on the turn.

Nice recap of... something...
