Card Night 05-Dec-2017

Mark DeVol called four December games tonight:

• The ever popular Follow the Queen.
• Split ’em.  A variant of Texas Hold ’em where each player is dealt four cards.  After the betting round on the flop, the player splits the four cards into two two-card Hold ’em hands.  Play continues just like Hold ’em.  (Chris later called this same game Hi-Lo.)
• Four Queens.  This was a bust.  Whenever any one of the queens showed up in a player’s hand, all other players folded.
• Pass the Buck, Hi-Lo Declare, Buy at the End.  This proved to be popular.  Mark threatened to call the game again in December with hole cards wild.

PLAYER	TONIGHT’S   RESULT
Chris	‑$125.00
Glen	+$72.00
Jerry	+$29.00
Mark D	+$39.00
Mary	+$25.00

Jackpot is now $61.00.

Hansen Quarterly Hold ’em Tourney, Spring 2009

Expectations were high for a good showing by the Tuesday Card Night people at Dave Hansen’s poker tournament Saturday.  Lyndon, Jason, Mike, Mary, Paul and I were all in attendance.  (Bill and Phil were out of town.)

In past tournaments, at least one (and often more than one) Tuesday player has made the final table.

Not this time.  Most of us were knocked out before even half of all players had been eliminated.

I was first of our group to go.  At my first table, my pocket kings ran into pocket aces.  Later after the first break, I flopped top set and lost to a straight on the river.  Finally, I went all in short-stacked with top pair (jacks) and an ace kicker only to lose to pocket queens.  I did not win a single hand all night. It’s amazing I lasted as long as I did.

Mary was next to go.  She went all in with A-K on a flop of A-J-9.  Her opponent had J-9 for two pair and knocked her out.

Paul’s exit was possibly the most painful.  He went all-in with J-6 on a flop of J-6-4.  An opponent called with J-7.  Paul was just hoping to avoid a 7 so that his opponent wouldn’t have a higher two pair.  However, the turn and the river were both queens, giving both Paul and his opponent queens and jacks.  His opponent’s 7 kicker beat Paul’s 6 kicker, and Paul was out!

Shortly after, Mike decided to make a move in the small blind.  There had been only one caller ahead of him, and he looked down at pocket 3s.  He went all-in, only to run up against pocket queens in the small blind.  The queens held up, and Mike was eliminated.

Jason was knocked out around the same time, although I don’t know how it happened.

Mike, Mary, Paul and I left together (we had carpooled) leaving Lyndon behind as the only remaining Tuesday Night player.  He was eventually eliminated in 11th place, just shy of the final table.
