i have a strange question for you tikay/jen if you done mind

when we was over the for EPT event we played the cash games and there was a game called Avation  can u tell me what it is, i forgot how to play it ?

thanks in advance

[redsimon]

Why the small field?

2 possible reasons.

a. Closer to WSOP than 2004's?
b. The robbery last year might have put some off?

Lets hope the ACF doesn't lose the WPT event.

[Karabiner]

Is that the one where you try to get from the Aviation Club to your hotel around 2am ?

 

[tikay]

The game called Aviation? You get 4 cards, & discard one Pre-Flop. After the flop you discard another. Then it's normal Hold 'Em.

Carlo has 17k.

Will the WPT return to The Aviation? Well I hope so, because this is fun, but the low numbers - and Simon's likely correct reason - are a worry.

El Blondie passed me this note from the table........

".....Flop of K--7-8, two spades. 8 of spades on turn gives Claude Cohen the Nut Flush, & Toby Maguire 7's full. Toby Doubles up to 20k. Claude is down to 5k..."

[Djinn]

Peter Roche OUT -

Against a young guy and holding AQ he bet the A K 3 flop and was called.  The turn brought the Q for his 2pair and he thought the guy was "a bit deranged" but didn't have 10 J so the last 6000 went all-in and his young opponent turned over AK to knock him out.  He seemed resigned but said he'd built up a tell library on his table which he now wouldn't get a chance to use.

[tikay]

Stuart Nash just wandered across for a stretch. "How many Stu?". "27,000, & Spurs have just signed Edgar Davids". He still PLAYING? Wow. The Spurs Pensioners.

[tikay]

Bambos 7k

Mike Magee 18k

Roy The Boy Brindley 27k

Martin De Knijff 13k

Dave Colclough 8k

[tikay]

I've had a wander round a few tables.....

Howard Lederer 7k

Surinder Sunar 16k

Willie Tann

Rob Hollink 30k. He's "busy".

Devilfish 16k "going on 38k".

[Ironside]

how is padraig doing?

[tikay]

Bambos OUT

He did not have much of a stack. He told me he "hit the flop, I had 6-5, & a 5 fell. But Rob Hollink had pocket 5's....". Hit it sort of gently, I guess.

[tikay]

Andy Black is in great heart, he's chatting away, sort of running his table. He has the biggest card-marker you ever saw. It's about 6" long, Jen says it looks a a bit like a whisk, but it's made of copper or brass. After being asked, Andy said it was some sort of buddhist symbol - it's THE heaviest object on earth". He just clashed with the Get-Minted Man, who has around 30k. (Andy has low twenties). Mr Minted has a huge, but ulnit cigar.

John Gale arrived at the same table, his table has broken, but John is down to about 5k. But he and Andy are laughing & joking, all very sociable.

Hi Ironside, we've missed you!

[Ironside]

you have? you must be very bored then

[tikay]

Bored? Me? Never. Just missed you, that's all.

Mr Brindley just lost a big dollop of chips with a set of 3's against a set of Queens. Seat 8 is an Internet Qualifier, I will try & get some info on him shortly.
