We had a nice crowd of 21 people tonight.   Welcome to SusieQ who played her first Jokers tourney!   The bad news was she was out first. 

 

Smartin was first to go at the final table only 5 hands in.  Her AA got cracked my Agro and his AJ when he flopped trips.  It was quite a night for hazy_cat.  Every 10 minutes we kept hearing of these horrible beats he was taking at the tables.   QQ vs QJ, KK vs KJ, etc.  However, he was very hot in the Joker room.  I'm sure he would have rather had it the other way around though...  One by one he knocked them out.  He may have almost knocked at the whole final table.  He had a total of 11 bounties for the night.   Flushes, trips, hittin the A.  He did it in every way.  Here's your top money 3:  Hazy_cat, Agro and icyravenhawk.    Hazy then knocks out icy and then Agro with another flush on the river.  Man- that's catchin some cards.   Well Hazy- keep playing the way you do, you know you'll be fine.

 

Thanks for playing everyone!  Until next week.

 

No bad beats!!

A nice crowd of 16 sat down tonight.  We got off to an interesting start when a guy was asking michele1024 for money.  I thought originally he knew here, because the way he talked it sure sounded like it.   At first he was friendly, but it didn't take him long to lay on the crap.   We all basically told him to get lost, and finally he got the hint when I told him I was reporting him to UB (which I did).   I did find out later that michele didn't know him, which figures.  There sure are a bunch of idiots out there!!

 

Ok now to the action--

 

Newcomer Paradoxical was out first.  al-swearengen was out next with with QQ, but it was good with __Kryptic__'s KK.  UB can be brutal sometimes.   I'm running pretty bad right now myself, and went out with KJ with a J on the flop and lost to AJ.   Welcome tonight to glttt who played in his first Joker tourney.  One by one they fell and we were down to the bubble four:

 

IcyRavenHawk, annieboom, smartin and michele1024.  I tell ya, these ladies are tough.  I put these ladies up against anybody in virtual poker land.  Man (pun intended), they really play well.  It's always a tough battle for those top 3 places, and tonight was no different.  Icy had a pretty big chip lead with over 10k in chips, but the ladies kept knocking him down.  Dadgummit- he just went out in fourth.  We have three women at the top!  Michele has the lead with 12k, then smart with 6700 and then annieboom with 4500.   michele kept trying to wear them down, but smartin and boom were hangin tough.   After about 25 hands between the three of them they stand just about the same.   Ok- we got a big hand.  Smartin raises to 600 and annie moves all in for 4040.  Smartin thinks it over and calls.  Smartin has KQ and annie has 77.  It's a race.  Big flop!  The flop is K76 and Annie has caught trips and smartin catches K's with two diamonds to a flush draw.  The drama of it all!  Well no more diamonds or kind and annie's hand holds up and she doubles up.  It's break time.   michele has 13850, annieboom has 8155 and smartin 1350.  Well smartin couldn't last too long after the break.  Michele just knocked her out. Great game smartin! It's down to 2.  Michele 15k in chips and boom has 7200.  So far boom as made a move.  We're all tied now in chips!  Good battle here.  Bam- Boom just won it!  Boom raised to 1300.  michele reraised to 2200 and boom calls.  The flop is 2cAhQc.  michele bets, booms reraises, michele is all in!   boom shows KQ and michele shows KJ.  michele was trying to bluff a bit.   Michele gets no help and annieboom wins the hand and the tourney.  Congrats you two!!

 

Until next week- win big!
