that's a leg break

[Djinn]

Tikay is wearing that curious blend of 'could be some kind of sportswear' 'two shirts in one' clothing favoured by my little brother and most of the Backstreet Boys.  I think powder blue suits him down to the ground, AND the curious badges could be added to without his noticing, I reckon.

Anyway, he's had a bit of a knock, slowplaying pocket Aces (admittedly) trying to lure in the guy with .  Jack high flop, which Matey checked in the dark, and Tikay cleverly kept him in til he hit the on the river.  Still not had his second chance yet, though.

Hi Jen,ifyou get a chance say good luck to Dimi masca please,top man,very charming with the girls,id be surprised if he hasnt had a little dart with you already!.

Maria (pictured) has had a shaky start, playing, as she recounts it, "lots of mediocre hands, KQ, KJ, QJ, A9, and either missing or hitting and losing..."  One top pair into a set of Sevens later, and she's down to 4,100 out of the full 10k.  "I haven't smoked for three weeks," she says, "And I've never wanted one more than at this moment."  I might go out and get her some patches.

[Djinn]

A break is coming up in about 15 minutes, at which point the Second Chance is awarded, ready or not, and that seems like a sensible time to go and count chips.  I can say that James Dempsey already has 11,000 without his extra 5k, and looks pretty happy with himself.  Jane said that he showed something even resembling discipline, when his AA saw a 4 5 7 flop, and knew to get out of the way of the 57 and 36 against him.
Most of the extra chips came when his slightly odd call of the 400 raised in late position from the small blind with came good - the flop was and all three (or was it four?) players checked.  The turn brought a , James checked and called the 1,500 bet at him, and then checked-called the 2,050 bet on the river too.  He beat Matey's , remarking, "That was quite cool." 

Also receiving respect for his 'overpair' on a 2 2 6 flop, he got two opponents to pass, one his Six, and the other Pocket Eights.  He did have , but how were they to know that?

Lucky fish!

I'm going to level with you - I don't really know that many of these guys.  I must therefore apologise for any name-spelling problems, my rock-solid excuse being that this is what they looked like on the printed list from the casino, which also, for the record, had Tikay down as Tony Kendel.

Hi Jen.

Pass my regards on to Flushy and Dave Penly please....and everyone else too.

Chili once again proves that there's often no harsher critic of your play than yourself (I know this to be all too true, but seeing as I'm not playing today I feel like I can give good advice I can't take myself, like, "relax, I've heard worse.") Pretty short stacked, she found the Aces on the big blind.  Plus there was a raise to 500, and a small blind raise to 1,000 in front of her.  Perhaps slightly panicky, a re-raise of 3,000 got rid of both of the opponents preflop, the s.b. after a lengthy dwell.  Immediately unhappy with her play (which crossed the line where you get the first guy to fold and the second guy to call), she was going to poll you on blonde about it.  But took one look at my DISCONNECTED bar and went back to play, which on balance is less frustrating.

Hello Mr. Alright - yes, regards passed to a happy Flushy (after this rather monstrous hand):

Having doubled up with , Flushy raised it up again, and got a short stack pushing in and two other callers.
Flop:     A short stack pushes now (Andrew Miles).  It gets round to Flushy now, who says, "I'm all in," leaving Joe Grech as the fourth person in the pot, thinking about whether to call all in.  "What time is it?" he asks.  "Nine thirty?  Is there a cash game going?"  He calls.

Joe Grech shows: 
Flushy shows: 
Andrew shows: 
Original Pushing In short stack Matey shows: 

Turn:    And it looks like Joe will be the beneficiary of a nice pot, before:
River:    So the substantial side pot goes to James, and the other Ace guy splits with the house for the rest. 

That hand alone has led to the first table break of the day.
