Week 49 Results
1st ($80/10pts): John "Too tired for nicknames" St. Denis
2nd ($0/7pts): Seamus "Still too tired" Rail
3rd ($0/4pts): Adam "Practically asleep now" Joseph
Low Stakes / 10 Players / 1 Table / 12:15 Endtime
We started the game with 10 seconds of silence as requested by Mick. This being a gaggle of regular McJo's players, it took two requests, three demands, and nearly a minute of false starts before the 10 seconds was achieved. We're disciplined like that.
A fairly sedate game proceeded, then Adam got a double kill and was big stack. Mick went out early and, for some reason, was bothered by the loud voices and leg shaking to her left. For my part, I was somehow unable to hear Mick when she would speak to me about, oh, putting out my blind or really paying attention in any way. Sorry Mick! Then Mr. Joseph got another double kill and became massive to the tune of $120,000. We all know what that means.
Disciplined started to slip and Adam lost a little more than he won. He called my all-in with an open-ended straight and went down to my trips. $33K shifted over to me. A few hands later, another large chunk was sent Seamus' way.
And now a break from the "action" for what I hope will become a standard feature, The Joke of the Night award. Tonight it goes to Eric Hepburn. It went something like this,
Mick: So Adam's been up all night and he excitedly tells me that he's gotten a website for us, KYKids.com [Adam & Mick are from Kentucky].
Eric: What was he doing all night? Looking for content?
Oh how we laughed and laughed.
Anyway, some more stuff happened that was, apparently, fairly unmemorable until Seamus doubled up through Eric H. bringing him down to $500. Eric went all-in blind, Adam and I called. After the flop I bet and Adam folded noting that I'd better have Eric beat. I didn't and Eric tripled up. Eric agains goes all-in blind and gets two callers. And again the best hand lays it down and Eric triples up. Third hand Eric only gets one caller, and doubles up. Fourth hand Eric had it from the flop, and then got sucked out on the River.
So we're three and Adam is still in the lead. Hmmm. I sort of forget how this went (I wasn't really planning on writing this). Adam lost some to Seamus, then a lot to me, then a lot to Seamus, then was out. Adam?
Seamus and I entered heads up with Seamus in the lead 3:2. We feinted back and forth with small sums traded until the critical hand.
Seamus with A 5 // John with 5 6
Seamus does not raise pre-flop
Flop: 2d 3x 4d
We both straighted and are elated, but wary about scaring the other guy off. Seamus checks and I tentatively bet. Seamus pretends to hem & haw before calling.
Turn: x
More acting when Seamus bets and I call.
River: 5x
I push all-in since no third diamond is on the board. Seamus calls and the his ass-end straight goes down.
Seamus is mightily wounded, but comes back at me with aggression. I mostly retreat from his advances and he wins back a good chunk of chips over the next eight or so hands. Then this,
Seamus with 2 2 // John with AKs
Seamus goes all-in, I quickly call.
Flop: 766
Turn: 6
Seamus has a full house.
River: A
I suck out the better full house to end the game. Whoo.
