Aaron Wins!!!! .... "Of course he did"
So being relatively unfamiliar with blogging (indeed) and not at all good at remembering my complete domination of my fellow rounders (especially given the fact that I did not know that this blog existed and that I would be responsible for a recap...), I'll have to keep this entry brief and truth-free.
Note: All hands recounted will at the very least express the "feeling" of the hand, even if the cards, players, and bet amounts are not entirely accurate. In fact, the chances of me remembering a hand that I wasn't in all that well are pretty close to zero, so feel free to correct the hand in the comments :)
Rounds 1- 3 were relatively uneventful. There was a particularly brutal hand involving Ken (Filipino version) and "Aaam". Pre-flop in early position, Ken raises with a pot sized bet which "Aaam" calls, immediately to his left. The rest of the table folds. Flop comes J23 rainbow. Ken bets (all in), "Aaam" calls. "Aaam" shows AK, Ken shows a pocket 5's? Turn comes 5. River comes 4. "Aaam" makes his runner runner super emergency straight while Ken quietly walks off to see if Shana Hiatt is waiting nearby. "Aaam" invokes the seldom used "I sucked out on you" rebuy rule to allow Ken to come back in for more punishment for rebuy #3.
At the end of round 3, the chips were relatively well distributed (minus Ken as previously noted), with Mick having chip lead and at least 3 other within 30% of her stack. No one person was dominating things at this point.
The next interesting hand involved Ken (non-Filipino version). I don't recall very much of the hand at all save that after the flop, there were at least 3 people in the hand, Ken, Ray(?) and Mick. The pot was relatively large. Ken bets 5K in early position. Ray hems and haws for 5 minutes and folds. Ken, just now waking up from the delay, promptly mucks his cards and declares himself the winner. Unfortunately for Ken, Mick still has cards and hadn't yet had the opportunity to hem and haw and subsequently fold. We paused a few minutes to ridicule Ken before "Aaam" felt pity and allowed Ken to keep his 5K bet before awarding the rest of the pot to Mick. I suspect that "Aaam" was really afraid of Mick having 5K more chips to abuse him with.
Somewhere in round 6 (700/1400), the hand that decided the night took place. (I can't remember the exact people involved, though the names chosen here were in the vicinity table wise) I was the small blind. Ken raised to 2800. Lee called. A third person called. I called. Flop comes Ah2h3c. I check. Ken bets 1400. Lee raises to 10K. Third person folds. Before I can act, Ken announces "all-in". His error is noted and given this information, I cold call. Ken proceeds to continue to go "all-in" for around 12K. Lee calls. Due to a McJo rule, an incomplete raise allows the betting to reopen. I proceed to go "all-in" for an additional 15K or so. Lee calls. Ken shows A-8, Lee shows A-J I show 4-5(suited). Turn is a scary 8 giving Ken 2-pair and boat draw, but the river is a blank and my flopped straight holds. This near triple up gave me a commanding chip lead.
The rest of the evening went something like this:
Aaron calls, X raises, Y calls. Aaron calls.
Flop comes A-B-C. Aaron checks, X bets, Y goes all-in. Aaron calls. X folds. Aaron shows Top-Two, Y shows pathetic draw. Aaron's hand holds. Y taunts Aaron for milking him of all his chips with the best hand. Aaron collects chips and proceeds to the next victim.
All in all, It was the level of competition I would expect from individuals unable to understand the concept of an implied call. Such individuals that need EXACT change to understand the meaning of a bet or call should prove to be great pokersuckers friends indeed. Perhaps I'll mix things up next week by verbalizing all my folds before throwing my cards into the muck. I wouldn't want to confuse the children :)
And Finally, a note to the "name slaughterer".... Subtracting the second letter and doubling the third, while entertaining, is a very lame attempt and belittling this weeks Champion! Arron W should be known as Aaron W.
