Happy Birthday to Me!

Yep, the old man becomes even more so. Deb did indeed remember to bring lasagna, courtesy of Shane's cooking. And another old familiar face graced us with her presence: Lisa! With our bellies full of lasagna, salad, bread & cake, we snuggled in for a long winters game.

First to exit was Markus. He was raped severely by Nick. I grabbed the Astro Glide but it was too late. Markus ended up with 1 point and a very sore, well, you know.

Next out was Shane. No extra points for cooking great lasagna, sorry.

Chris soon followed, unable to capitalize on his win last week.

Crystal was out next. She kept leaning over, we're not sure why but we kept hearing "poof".

Nick, whose ADD was pretty bad tonight, was out next, after raping several at the table. He also took Chris' bounty point.

Deb surprised us quite a few times tonight. Not only did she drop the "F" bomb, we also discovered she is a connoisseur of 70's porn. She was well aware of who John Holmes was. Another surprise was her leaving us in 3rd place.

Wouldn't you know it. Lisa, after having trouble finding the house, just wouldn't lose. Finally, I had trip 10s & she had 2 pair. The river was 10 giving me quads & Lisa a full house. I went all in, she called and the game was over.

So, for my birthday I got a card & gift card from Lisa, food from Deb, Crystal & Chris and everyone let me win tonight at poker! Woo hoo!

So, it would seem the old rivalry won't die. Once again the battle for first is between me & Deb with Mark bringing up a close 3rd. Here are the stats from tonight's game.

8. Markus 1
7. Shane 2
6. Chris 3
5. Crystal 4
4. Nick 6 (including Chris's bounty point)
3. Deb 6
2. Lisa 8
1. Jeff 11 (including a bonus point for quad 10s)

Hope to see Mark & Justin back at the tables next week. Until then, may all your cards be live and your pots be monsters!

We're eating this Thursday. Yes, we ate last time we played, we at gobs at Thanksgiving, and yeah we're gonna do it again this Thursday. DEB, BRING LASAGNA! As for the rest of us, salad, garlic bread and one of those cookie cakes would be nice. See everyone Thursday. DEB, BRING LASAGNA!

Happy Birthday Crystal!

Mark made his famous enchiladas, Nick his famous Spanish rice and others brought sweets. It was a great evening for Crystal until she started playing poker! And while she wasn't first out, (Nick took a dive for her), she was second. Deb was next followed by Mark. Try as I might I just couldn't make it 4 in a row. This left Justin & Chris in the heads up. A first for Justin in an officially sanctioned TNP event. But after taking all my chips, Chris was just too chip heavy. So Justin settled for second tonight and Chris ran away with the chips and my 4 bointy pounts. Here's the breakdown.

7. Nick 1
6. Crystal 2
5. Deb 3
4. Mark 4
3. Jeff 5
2. Justin 7
1. Chris 14 (including 4 bointy pounts from Jeff)

Next Thursday is Thanksgiving and I wish a warm, safe Thanksgiving to you my dear friends. We'll be back here at the BB&L on December 4th. Deb is making lasagna for our December birthday/anniversaries. Salad & garlic bread & something sweet to go along would be great. Until then, be well.

Brrrr!

It's good weather for enchiladas and Mark has confirmed he'll have em hot out of the oven tonight. Nick to has confirmed he'll have his rice there, maybe a little late but it'll be good. So come on out for some great food, enjoyable fellowship and sizzling poker as we wish Crystal a Happy Birthday and take her chips first! See you all tonight for TNP!

Admiral's Invitational! CANCELLED

TOO MUCH GOING ON THIS TIME OF YEAR Mark your calendar for Friday, December 5, 2008 for the first annual Admiral's Invitational! Marking my 46th year on planet Earth, we'll have a $10 buy in winner take all tourney. Regular TNP rules apply. I'll make stew. BYOB. Starting time 7PM. If you're not a poker player come on over and I'll let you play with my wii!

Steady as she goes......

Make it 3! Yep, won my 3rd week in a row! Poor Chris drew only 1 pot and just couldn't get on track. Justin was out next followed by an angry Mark. Deb royally pissed him off after coming back over the top of his $500 bet with an all in. And after he brought spinach dip AND an absolutely delicious orange cake! YUMMMMM! Markus again made the top 4 but was raped mercilessly first by Deb with a bigger full house then by me. Sorry Markus. Crystal made the top 3. Came down to the two old pros. We started about even in chips, traded back and forth for a while but my pocket aces gave me a huge hand and from there it was just a matter of whittling down Deb's chips. So, next week we'll eat Mark's famous enchiladas for Crystal's birthday. Nick is making his equally famous Spanish rice. And I'll have a bounty of 4 points on my head. Deb now has sole posession of first place but has yet to win a game in Phase 2. Here's the night in numbers.

7. Chris 1
6. Justin 2
5. Mark 3
4. Markus 4
3. Crystal 5
2. Deb 7
1. Jeff 10 (including keeping my own bointy pount)

So remember, we'll be eating at 6:30 next week then taking the Thursday of Thanksgiving off. Till then, may all your cards be live and your pots be monsters!
