Card Night 28-Apr-2009

Mark Huyser was a surprise player tonight, having not attended Card Night for an entire year.  He rounded out the table at nine players, the first time that’s happened since July 19, 2005.

Yes, Glen’s winning streak continues.  He recorded his tenth consecutive Card Night win.  (Only Paul (12), and Mark DeVol (13) have had longer streaks.)  During those ten wins he’s taken home $639.00.

Paul won jackpot early when he flopped four aces in Texas Hold ’em.  But that’s about all the luck he had.  He ended up losing $112.00, which is a record for someone who’s won jackpot the same night.

Mark DeVol and Mike were involved in a hand of Texas Hold ’em that saw both players checking on the turn and the river.  The board was J-8-9-9-5.  Mark turned over a 10-8 for two pair.  Mike turned over 10-7 of hearts complaining, “I was trying to hit a flush.”  Mike didn’t realize he had flopped a straight.  Mike scooped the modest pot.

Mark D ‑$6.00
Mary ‑$24.00
Mark H ‑$58.00
Paul ‑$112.00
Bill +$12.00
Lyndon $0.00
Jason +$82.00
Mike S +$45.00

Card Night 21-Apr-2009

doritos_late_night_tacos_at_midnightHave we mentioned that Glen is the hot player right now?  Tonight he recorded his ninth Card Night win in a row.  And those nine wins haven’t been paltry.   The lowest was $24.00, and three of them have been over $100.00.  Combined they total $581.00.

Meanwhile, Bill finally had a losing session (-$37.00), his first for 2009.

Paul was angry with himself after a hand of 7½-21½.  Lyndon had stopped taking cards with a 7 and a face card showing, while Mark DeVol had stopped with A-6-9 showing.  Paul was sitting on a 6½.  Instead of of just stopping as well, Paul decided to take another card.  He ended up hitting all the way to 23 (calling Lyndon’s dollar bet each time he took a card) and lost high to Mark’s 22.  If he had stayed with his 6½, he would have beaten Lyndon, who ended up having 8½ for low.

We opened up Mary’s Doritos Late Night Tacos at Midnight that she had brought the previous Card Night.  They weren’t bad.  Not really spicy, but with a strong flavor.

Mark D +$40.00
Mary ‑$15.00
Paul +$1.00
Phil ‑$113.00
Bill ‑$37.00
Lyndon ‑$5.00
Glen +$129.00

Card Night 06-Apr-2009

Holy cow!  Glen had his eighth winning Card Night in a row, taking home $109.00 as the big winner for the night.  Only Mike Stefanidis (9), Paul Huyser (12), and Mark DeVol (13) have had longer winning streaks.


During a hand of Omaha Hi-Lo, Mike bet on the river.  Paul called, and Phil called.  Mike turned over a full house to scoop the pot.

Phil had had a straight, so Mark said, “Phil you shouldn’t have called because there was a possible full house and a possible flush out there and Paul called Mike’s bet in front of you so you have to assume your straight was no good.”

Phil said, “Well, at least I learned a lesson by calling.”

Mike said, “Phil, you would have gotten the lesson even if you hadn’t called.”


After Card Night was over, Paul complained to Mike that Mark had been particularly mean to him.  Mark then told Mike, “Paul may not like me.  He may even hate me.  But at the end of the day, I’m going to make him into the best damn poker player he can be.”

Mary ‑$70.00

Glen +$109.00
