Week 9, 2009b - Epic
1st ($ 65/ 10pts): Laura Z
2nd ($10/ 7pts): Staci P
3rd ($0 / 4pts): Mick M
4th ($0 / 2pts): Ray F
Low Stakes / 10 Players / 1 Table / 1:15Endtime
Okay, it wasn't "EPIC." It didn't even go all that late. ... and I was distracted by the fact that I couldn't remember the alternative to Cliff Notes when I was in high school. ANYBODY???
One of the things that keeps me sane during a poker game is that I have an uncanny ability to forget what I had mere seconds after I muck my cards. This is great for my peace of mind, but it makes for a lousy poker recap, so I'm just going to give a stream-of-consciousness ramble about what I do remember:
Things started off slowly enough, with Adam winning a big pot or two early. Martin wasn't there, so there were no crazy 5K bets right out of the gate. We talked about pregnancy a lot. Everyone speculated on Mick's nipples. There was a huge takedown of two people in one big hand. We allowed an extra buy-in because we are nice people (read: greedy bastards). Mick got an urgent red-button phone call from the bead store which caused her great consternation because her straight was cracked by a flush. Dammit! Julie was out early, and even though she claimed to be okay with it, we were still all a little afraid of her. Something about Ken and donkeys. The Dread Pirate Eric started drinking, and that is always worth watching. Then, Staci turned into a big scary bird and started using her pointy beak and sharp talons to peel the very flesh from the bones of her rivals. At least I assume that's what happened; I couldn't see her over her gargantuan stack of chips. Mick brought out a box of coins, and I got distracted again. In the end, it was a battle of the women (well, two women, and one big scary bird), and when Mick was vanquished, I was sure I was next. To my great surprise, I became an uncharacteristically pushy cow, and Staci and I were about dead even for the last hand. We both limped in and the flop came 5-4-6. Ray said,"Your 2-3 is good here." I agreed, since that's what I had, and ended up taking the final hand. Yay!
The end.
