January 14th's Game and My New Poker Clock

So the Cold Deck Classic was supposed to take place this past Friday but apparently every recreational sports league everywhere decided to schedule games that night.  It would've been a great night to play outside; warmish, soft flakey snow drifting onto my giant igloo shaped chip pile....but I digress.

We played a cash game and I new it would be a classic when Lemon, Nigel and I sat down 3 handed, each with $40 in chips and before the cards flew, I declared "I'm probably gonna go all in on this one.  Lemon raised on the button and I shoved from the BB...I don't know what Lemon had but my AQ was golden...Game ON!


A few vests showed up in support of and spurred on by Dandy Bloch's desire in recent e-mails to be open with his vest wearing.  Army had a vest that I assume will match a vest sized hole in his grandma's sofa.  Kirby (Vesty McMarion) wore hers to the distraction of one drunken boob.


We had a great turnout and had 2 tables running for most of the evening.

There was a lot of carnage at the tables with a lot of big all ins.  The lo-light of which was probably Lemon raising and getting raised all in for a ridiculous amount by Big Stack Bobby.  I'm not sure who the favorite was pre-flop (math is for idiots) but Lemon played my favorite hand (5d2d) to a massive win against Bob's Kings.

I think that Lemon's loss at the table ended up as a wash as he cleaned up with the Jet's win today.

For the 6 of us that thought it was 2:30 when it was really 5:00....I changed the battery in the basement clock and we shouldn't hear the roosters crow again without meaning to.  It really was the perfect poker clock - no one wants to bothered with trivial things like time when they are sitting at a soft poker game!

I would just like to say thank you to
Kirby and Army for supporting the Vest last friday night. In true vest fashion you guys are looking great. Just remember that everyone wants to wear the vest but only the strong and wise poker players can wear the vest all night.

Possibly the funniest thing that I have never seen at any poker game happened during Friday's game.

After the flop, a random player raises and gets 2 callers before Lemon declares with gusto "All In"! A player folds and before I can act, I remind Lemon that he had already folded pre-flop. It took a moment for him to recollect this but a quick count of the chips in the middle showed that he indeed had mucked and then idly re-picked up his hand...GAME ON!

I have a question: In the poll for who the most agressive player is, is Lemon sober or drunk? It makes a difference. I think he should have a slot for each option!

Big Dipper said...

You know what Gipeddo...I myself struggled over that same thing. Lemon drunk hands down is the most agro. You sober and sitting short handed with what you think are players you can push around are the agro. Bobby 2 years ago was the most agro. Co with a coin a year ago is the most agro. Sheldon is the most agro at calling...

Everyone has their spot, but because we all play differently, there are people you might target that think you are the most aggressive while others say "Harv - Really? I don't think so" because you leave them alone.

Lemon drunk would be a one man race however and the poll would be a boring one!
