Well, I was brushing up on my game so that I am ripe for Niagara Falls.
So I bought in this $20 game for $110.
Some brush up.
More like a brush off.
The new rebuy in rules are just great. Gregg did a find job making it more like a casino, easy enough to bank and fair enough to let the rebuy guy into the game again. I know. I came back. The new rules are: one row or less, buy in for $10. No chips, rebuy for $20. No busted Aces or Kings advantage.
I don't think it was my play. My lost hands were close hands in one way or another. On the real stupid draws I got lucky. It was the solidly played hands that lost. No flops. No turns. No rivers. I guess I used up all my luck getting the pickerel and the quiet morning air off the dock.
What a group Gregg draws. Even with Bruce home we had 11 at the table. Blowers made a rare visit and pumped up the action, the mucka jucka, the actual mathematics which is often mucka jucka to me and a few very important sounding cell phone calls.
Jim, Charlie, Peter, Gregg, Bill, Slink, Phil, me, Ron, John - 10 at the table.
I had quad nines and was first to act, and no one bet on the river. I should have bet a bit. I counted on an all-in bluff.
Charlie had quad tens and pushed all in early, a huge pile of chips. He won the pot. He lost a bundle.
Peter played some fine poker just as he did at Blowers. I'm happy. I don't see him any longer as destined to be aggressive until bankroll death.
Gregg got hammered again. Ron left with some money. Phil played a nice game and left with money. Bill was sick and could not catch a draw. Jim got bad rivers....again. Slink faked all-in bets and laughed and did the 222222222222222222's genuflection. Ron more than doubled up and went home early. I don't remember too much.
I caught an inside draw and took John for 15-15-15.
I was wired again on the coffee, clumsy as a drunk, had one of the Smuggler's whiskey.
Afterward Peter and I went for a meal and a talk at a new Mexican place on Central, Fiesta. On Wednesday 2 people get an appetizer (spinach casadia) entre (chicken fajitas) all from $20. Nice.
Good to have some father-son time to talk as well as play.
Thanks Gregg. You sure can pack them in. Now if you can only fleece them. I guess you got too rusty over the summer growing all those tomatoes. Hey, save me some green ones.
See ya next week.
