Card Night 23-May-2017

Five of a kind is a pretty good hand.  You can only get it when you’re playing with wild cards, but still, a pretty good hand.

Jeff might not agree.  On a hand of Baseball, he was looking to scoop a nice pot with his five jacks only to run up against Glen’s five kings.

 PLAYER   TONIGHT’S 
 RESULT
 Bill  +$44.00
 Glen  +$183.00
 Jeff  ‑$57.00
 Jerry  ‑$127.00
 Larry  ‑$5.00
 Mark D  +$83.00
 Mary  ‑$136.00

Jackpot is now $36.00.

Card Night 16-May-2017

On a hand of Big O Hi-Lo, Bill flopped a 6-high straight flush.  But he didn’t know it.  In fact, he didn’t even know he’d flopped a flush, let alone a straight flush.  He was just focused on the low.

At showdown, everyone pointed out the straight flush, and Bill collected a nice $40.25 jackpot win.

 PLAYER   TONIGHT’S 
 RESULT
 Bill  ‑$85.00
 Chris  +$33.00
 Glen  ‑$52.00
 Jeff  +$67.00
 Jerry  ‑$72.00
 Mark D  +$132.00

Jackpot is now $21.00.

Card Night 09-May-2017

On the very last hand of the night ($5-$10 Texas Hold ’em), the turn put two 8s on the board.  Mary bet.

Chris, the only other player in the hand, thought long and hard about what he was going to do.  Finally, he folded his hand.

Rabbit hunting revealed that the river would have been another 8, which would have given Mary four 8s and a jackpot payout.  D’oh!

 PLAYER   TONIGHT’S 
 RESULT
 Bill  +$34.00
 Chris  ‑$147.00
 Jeff  +$39.00
 Jerry  +$84.00
 Mark D  +$49.00
 Mary  ‑$77.00

Jackpot is now $44.00.
