The calm before the storm.....
The forecast is for blizzard conditions but it was calm and warm inside the Admiral's B & B on the eve of the wintry blast. Our first cast away was Killian, followed quickly thereafter by Ish. Giordan made his TNP debut and was third out. Chris left next and then Devin. Dustin was ousted next. I promised I wouldn't mention Deb didn't make the top 3 so I won't. However, the top 3 included Paul, Bobby & Me. I honestly didn't think I had a chance. Paul & I were by far the short stacks throughout most of the final 3. Paul finally succumbed and that left Me versus about a 6 to 1 chip lead by Bobby. However, I love heads up play and some pre flop raises and some very lucky cards turned the tide in my favor and I wound up winning. Here's the breakdown by the numbers.

"What are these for"?
The actual question asked by Justin B. upon seeing the cards we were about to play Texas Holdem with. It set the tone for the rest of the night. He and two other TNP virgins, Ish & Devin, had their poker challenge cherries popped. Here's the breakdown.
Another dozen players on hand with some of the old regulars falling first. Crystal didn't have a good night at all and was first out. Bobby never caught a hand and was second out. Paul was out next followed by our first rookie sacrifice, Devin. I was out next but did manage to catch a bonus point for quad 7s. Chris was eliminated at the same time I was and Lisa soon followed our lead. Killian left the game next and that left 2 rookies playing in the top 4. Justin, after discovering just what those cards were for and figuring out quickly how to use them was out next. Nick managed to hang on after taking some big hands but couldn't get past a rookie and a veteran. The real story of the night was Ish. Arriving late he had a disadvantage from the start as his chips had dwindled after having his blinds posted for half an hour. Still, his loose style, seeming ignorance of the game and just plain luck made, for a moment, the impossible possible. On one hand, Deb was ready to give up, going all in on a hand she just knew she was going to lose but for some reason Ish didn't call her all in after pushing her and everyone else around all night. That was the turning point and she rallied to win. Here's the night by the numbers.

It's been suggested and I concur that we play for $5 every Thursday night from now on. I'm also thinking about making the entire month of May double points month and making Deb's last game a triple points night with a $20 buy in. Let me know your thoughts on this. Until next week may all your cards be live and your pots be monsters!

12 on the 12th
An even dozen players made the double points game important and the $60 pot made it very interesting! Here's how it played out.
The first to leave the table was Killian, thankfully. I say thankfully only because it meant I didn't have to be first out as I was out right after him. Dustin, thrown to the wolves was out next. Crystal didn't fare much better and it wasn't long until Bobby bowed out as well. Art was next to leave and then Mark. Nick left the game next followed by Lisa. The top 3 included Paul, Deb & Chris. It was in that order that they were eliminated meaning there's some serious movement in the leader board. We did have a straight flush, Nick's 7-J of hearts earned him 2 bonus points. Tonight's biggest mover was Paul. Here's the breakdown.

The brown bag idea seems to have worked well. This way if you want to eat you bring it. No one is responsible for anything in particular. I think this is how we'll do the meal nights from now on. So, until next week, may all your cards be live and your pots be monsters!
One side note: Nick spotted the purple granny panties Crystal was wearing. I didn't see them myself but I must say I'm disappointed. I always imagined Crystal in a thong!
