Shhhh!

be vewy vewy quiet. we cant' talk loud cause deb might hear. she was afraid i forgot to post last weeks update and wishes i'd forget to post this weeks. you see, about 10 minutes into last night's game, i had a full house and bet $1000. she had a full house too and went all in. unfortunately for her, mine was bigger and she was first out and promptly left.

Ok, with that out of the way we can continue with the rest of the game. After Deb, Ish with his devil may care style was eliminated. Chris soon followed and Dustin after him. Bobby didn't fare much better and after he exited Lisa followed suit. This left the top three between Justin B., Devin and myself. Well, thanks to Deb doubling me up from the very early stages of the game, I had accumulated quite the chip lead. I got great cards all night and when the heads up came down to me and Devin, well, let's just say Devin's had a great run lately at TNP coming in second. So, I took $16, 12 points (including Deb's bounty, shhh) and drew a little closer to first place, even though I still have a long way to go.

About 2/3 through the game, Deb called and asked if she could come back and deal. Something about her husband doing work at home. So, because we finished early a second game broke out. That one came down to Deb & Devin. He can win the games that don't count toward TNP standings. So he took about $12. Fun night for all. Except Deb. She doesn't want to talk about it. Here's the breakdown:

9. Deb 1
8. Ish 2
7. Chris 3
6. Dustin 4
5. Bobby 5
4. Lisa 6
3. Justin B. 7
2. Devin 9
1. Jeff 12 (including Deb's bounty point)

Next week there will be new carpet installed. Therefore, because I don't want the new carpet looking like the old, no food or drinks will be allowed at the poker table. This will help preserve not only the carpet but the table. Breaks are scheduled every 60 minutes and this will allow us ample time to pee, drink, snack & smoke. Thanks for your cooperation. Until next week may all your cards be live and your pots be monsters!
