Matchy reports Saturday night live action - NPP boys venture out:
"Myself, Beerhog and Aqualung all met out at the Shark Club in Howell lastnight. There was not enough interest for a tournament but there were 3pretty full cash game tables.
All 3 of us got assigned to different $1/2Hold 'Em tables, and the place was well run. It felt like a casino with nicetables, lighting and excellent dealers.
No smoking at the tables, but peoplejust stood up and fired up their Cigs and Cigars, and my shirt had thatnasty "bar" smell when I got home last night, reminded me of the old days!
I bought in for a modest amount and it lasted all night. I will letAqua and Fred talk about their play if they wish, but I don't think the NPPwas hitting on all cylinders for most of the night. I also learned about many inadequacies in my game, especially playing with mostly sober peopleand a dealer. I managed to announce "re-raise $20" when it was only a raise,and I did that out of turn.
I also folded and called out of turn. And I was scolded for grabbing chips when I won a pot! The guy next to me, who wasnice, said "You don't play much with dealers, do you?" He was right, I'vegot lots to learn in that department!
I did win and lose some nice pots, andwent out with fives full, all in against tens full. It was 11:30 so I calledit a night. Fred was still going so hopefully he won some dough.
It is tough to stay ahead in the long term with the rake, but all and all it, was 2.5 hours of fun, and I would probably go back.
The other rake is the bar right next to the tables, it was 8 bucks for 2 PBR's after tips, I couldget like a 30 pack for that at home! It is mighty close to home andaccording to the regulars generally stays crowded.
Also a dude at our tablemade quad kings and was leading the high hand of the day jackpot, which theysaid paid $230 the day before, and you don't have to be there to collect." - Matchy
Thanks for the review Matchy!

the play at my table was weak as usual. i was close to 300 up when tom put the curse on me. i was dealt pocket kings and had to call an all in for 150. of course the guy had aces and i didnt get any help. tom of course was standing by me when this happened. and then i get Ad 7d with a flop of Qd 4d 3h. i get another all in for 40 and have to call to not catch a diamond. -190 in two hands w/ the curse of tom. i lose my original buy in of 80 and rebuy for 100. i got close to even again and called it a night. but my bar tab was 40. still had a good time.
i will be having my sack reconfigured next weekend so no cards for me. (vasectomy)

Soooo, you will be out of commission this weekend, Beerhog. Is that why Mrs. Beerhog is heading to BWW's instead of you this Saturday?
