Week 38 - Revenge of the Longhair

1st ($65 / 10pts): Randall "Cock" Ryan
2nd ($10/ 7pts): Julie "Cockette" Bates
3rd ($0 / 4pts): Ray "Fuck You All" Flowers
4th ($0 / 2pts): Mick "Bag of Dicks" McNulty

Low Stakes / 10 Players / 1 Table / 12:30 Endtime

Things I like most about McJo's (in no particular order)--

1) All players make it a point to be civil towards one another

2) The willingness of participants to help others out if they make a mistake

3) How far people go out of their way to avoid offending anyone at the table

4) Conversation at the table is always something that you would be proud of if your mother was seated.

These and other things make for a fun, festive atmosphere, where any person can feel free to walk in and utter "Shit the dick of Jesus" without fear of reprisal, rebuttal, or anyone looking askance. And if someone tells you to suck a bag of dicks because you called a pre-flop raise with J-4 off-suit to eventually take the hand, they're really telling you how fabulous of a player you are in their own special way.

On to the card game.

Martin unusually flamed out first. Wow, bad day, dude.

Lee went all-in 17 times, losing twice.

Paul played his normal tight game, which earned him a pat on the back and a 7th place finish.

Stan tightened his game up a great deal: I think he played exactly 4 hands. Unfortunately, the last one was pocket 9s vs. Adam's pocket Js. The flop helped naught.

I don't remember exactly how the rest of the night played out, other than Julie really tightened up her game, but when she played a hand she pushed hard. She did re-buy early when Ray & myself got the rare half-kill when we split the pot (we each had A-9 in the hole), but came roaring back with her newly minted stack to kill a number of the remaining combatants and finish 2nd place. Oh, and she brought wine and fresh-baked bread, so really she was the winner.

That being said, I did take my cash & 10 points. So to all of you I say: eat your mother's turd with a fork.

God bless America.
