Card Night 28-Feb-2012

Jason returned to our poker table after being away for over a year.  A new daughter was the excuse for his absence.  Congratulations!

Jason was riding a four-Card Night winning streak, and it looked like he was going to pick up where he left off.  Some big pots at the beginning of our session filled his stack with plenty of $5 chips… but slowly and surely that stack dwindled, until Jason finished with a $75.00 loss.


On a hand of Omaha Hi-Lo, the board produced four 8s.  Had we been playing Texas Hold ’em, all players who stayed till showdown would have split jackpot.  (Paul won the hand when his 8s-full-of-7s beat Phil’s 8s-full-of-2s.)


Mark D +$31.00
Paul +$40.00
Phil +$89.00
Bill ‑$89.00
Lyndon ‑$1.00
Jason ‑$75.00
Glen ‑$12.00

Jackpot is now $53.00.

Card Night 23-Feb-2012

Paul is having sort of an odd year.  For the past six weeks (including tonight), he’s either been the biggest winner or the biggest loser for the night.

Tonight he was on the losing side, posting his second worst Card Night ever: ‑$204.00.  It’s only the fifth time in Card Night history that a player has lost $200.00 or more, and Paul is now the only player to have done so twice.  (He lost $215.00 back on 28-Jan-2002.)

Paul was also the only loser tonight.


Meanwhile, Mike Stefanidis is the hot player:

  • He has won the last five times he has attended Card Night.
  • He’s the current 2012 money leader (+$227.00).
  • He’s tied with Paul for the best 2012 win-loss record (6-2).
  • He has the best record for the last 10 times played (7-3, +$266.00).

Mark D +$34.00
Paul ‑$204.00
Bill +$38.00
Jeff +$99.00
Mike S +$5.00
Glen +$24.00

Jackpot is now $36.00.

The stakes continue to increase as tonight we played multiple rounds of $2-$4 Texas Hold ’em and Omaha Hi-Lo with a full kill.  That meant the kill hands played at $4-$8.

The higher stakes are being reflected in people’s results.

Mark D ‑$69.00
Paul +$117.00
Phil +$58.00
Jeff ‑$64.00
Mike S +$1.00
Glen ‑$65.00

Jackpot is now $27.00.
