Dip on the Road - Week 2 of 10

Last night was the second set of tournaments in our Dip on the Road poker league.  Check the pages link in the right column for our dedicated page with tonnes of info.

This session just prior to the start of dealing out the first card, Big Stack and I surprised the crew with something we'd been working hard on for a couple of months - our own personalized league sweaters.  Dandy is considering ripping off his sleeves to make a sweater vest.

Swag and swagger.


Lemon went Titanic on us, he started out unbeatable and then hit an Aceburg.
Bobby brought a knife to a gun fight.
Philly went to #1 with a bullet
Dycker went quading.
K-Diddy made a u-turn in the dip on the road.
Nat X is planning a week 3 Underhill (Advanced crib strategy for poker players)
Cheeseburger played like he was supersized.
Dandy didn't have the stones to lay down his top 2 to Sloppy's 2 gapper-to-the-ass-end of a straight.
I laid down every J2 I was dealt.
Sloppy - Most every one felt his game 2 donkey punch.
Chocolate chips still looked good.

This week profiled some extremely fun needling, most notably at Lemon's expense after he took down the first tournament and then in the very first hand of the second game, he got knocked out.  Check out this picture, doesn't it scream "How else do you want me to play it?"

My answer  to your question Lemon, is "better".

What does Lemon have in common with April 15th, 1912?

11 points - Lemon
10 points - C-Funk
9 points - Cheeseburger

5 points - Dandy Bloch

like i said.... that's the last bit of money you ever get from me. not because i'm not going to make bets against you but rather because i'm going to own you! i'll do another last longer bet with you next time!

What parity!

In the first week - the top 2 finishers in the 1st tournament (Big Stack and Cheeseburger) were the first 2 out in the 2nd tournament.

In the second week - Lemon takes down the first tournament and gets knocked out in the first hand in the second tournament.

Other notes Shepit has finished last and has won a tournament.

More on the 1 / 2 finishers might've finished in the bottom 2 of other tournaments except that Bobby keeps hogging the bottom spots for himself.

It is amazing how things change in one night!

This league will go down to the wire!

By the way, the dedicated page (Look Out! Dip on the Road Ahead!) now has a spreadsheet on it that breaks down each players stats per tournament and a another one that breaks down each player's stats by week.

Gold = 1st place
Silver = 2nd place
Bronze = 3rd place

We have played 4 tournaments so far. Interestingly here is how the players who finished 1st in one tournament, did in the other tournament held the same night.

10th
7th
11th
9th

It's pretty easy to see why we are so jammed up in the points race!

I'm not sure how many people we will include for the 2013 poker league, but if any openings come up, jump at the opportunity, because this league is the most fun I've ever had playing poker!

The people, the structure, the competition, the hoodies, the needling - it's all pretty awesome!

I hate having to wait a month to get another league game in! Summer is going to kill me because we are taking 3 months off...
