We got a new player on our hands! Doneill is running thru our group of battle hardened, determined and desperate point chasers to get in the hunt for that 2nd quarter seat. Two rounds left in Season Two and anything is still possible.
Ten of us made it to the virtual felt on this rainy night. All the players bunched at the top were in attendance. That made it serious. Chat was at a minimum tonight.
13 min: Beerhog’s pair of Kings hit my (Faldo) pair of Aces to put a crimp in his stack early.
20 min: He got it back from Duder whose (QQ) fell to Hog’s straight on the turn.
38 min: Over on the other table, Biglou was down early and made a comeback. Then he gets the chip lead taking Nahanni’s (10th) chips as he rivers a straight on the same card Nahanni hit 2 pair. Ouch!
40 min: Duder gets healthier as his (JJ) holds up against Rennzzo’s (99).
45 min: ArcticBlast (9th) was late getting to the game. He plays I think two hands as he calls Rownder’s all-in bet. Arctic has 2 pair and Rownder is holding straight.
48 min: Duder’s (8th) health deteriorates to the point of expiration as his (55) can’t improve against a flop of [2JT] and BigLou’s hand of (Qs Js).
54 min: Beerhog (7th) ran into some good luck and then bad luck. Beerhog gets all-in with (AQs) and gets called by Doneill with (AK). A straight hits the board for a split.
The very next hand, Beerhog is all in with the (AK) and is called by Rownder with (AQ) and a [Q] hits on the turn.
59 min: The hand of the evening! Notice it is right before the break. Can EVERYONE say “cooler”? Anyone else noticing a pattern of coolers right before the break - like every week?
Tigercub calls with (99) and everyone folds to me (Faldo) (Td 8d) who calls the half bet and the short-stacked Rennzzo (6th) checks from the BB with (QJ).
The flop is [4d Jc 9c]. I bet the minimum with my open ended straight draw and get called by both.
The turn is [Qd]. The best card in the deck for Faldo! I hit my straight and now have a flush draw also. Notice that the short-stacked Rennzzo now has two pair. Each one of us get a monster hand – just before the break!
I bet (80%), Rennzzo (10%) calls and Tigercub (10%) raises. I re-raise a lot to let Tigercub know I got a big hand. Rennzzo goes all-in as the short-stack. But Tigercub goes all-in and I have to call with the nuts and a 4 to 1 favorite to win the hand.
Ex-nuts. Ex-favorite. The river is a [4] and Tigercub’s full house takes a monster pot, Rennzzo is out and I am crippled beyond belief.
Break:
Tigercub 6250
Biglou 5075
Rownder 1855
Doneill 1450
Mikeniks-Faldo 370
63 min: I (Mikeniks-Faldo) (5th) last four hands after the break before Poker Stars gives me my next cooler. I flop top pair and call Doneill’s bet and he has the same pair with a better kicker.
Herbavor - you want to say it with me?
72 min: Rownder (4th) is short-stacked and goes all-in with (Qc 9c) and is called by Doneill with (22) and cannot improve.
91 min: A twenty minute battle ensues before Biglou (3rd) bluffs his bottom pair. But Doneill flops the top two pair. Bad timing for that move.
Doneill 12000 – Tigercub 3000
103 min: Tigercub (2nd) battles for twelve minutes before Tigercub’s two pair with (AT) runs head long into Doneill’s (99) and a [9] on the turn.
Great win Doneill! It’s becoming a habit!

An elderly couple was attending church services. About halfway through she
leans over and says to her husband, " I just let out a silent fart. What do
you think I should do?"
He replies "Put a new battery in your hearing aid."
We want the whale! We want the whale!
