From the Vault - October 30th, 2008 - 2008 WSOD Event 4 - Razz

Another "From the Vault entry from 2008.  In honour of my recent posting for the rules of Razz, I am giving you a few pictures from our first and only Razz tournament and the cash game that followed.

I vividly remember that Big Stack had this mildly entertained look on his face the entire game, which I've never seen him do at poker before or after.

I expected a little more RAZZle-Dazzle out of Bridesmaid Bobby.   

X brought his own abacus - now you know why his math is usually off

This is an abacus that hasn't been smashed around like X's

Yeah the card is from the bottom, what's the big deal?

Mike knows he is the front runner for any game where the worst hand wins.

Spanky took a deep breath, and blew it.

The 3 best of the worst.

It looks like my 2 chips are just enough for the toll on Mike's Great Wall of China-chips.

Whoever took this picture is cut off.

Mike wins Razz - Everything in the world is right again!

Tom and Joe, not from 92 CITI FM

X is a shadowy figure.

I don't seem to recall why there are 18 chips on the table between all the players.  Strange indeed.  Hordyk must have a huge stack hidden behind Joffa, although it is unlikely...

Well the cash game was kind of smallish but did get bigger once the tournament finished, although I stopped taking pictures at this point.  The tournament was fun and happens to be the only stud game that we've played in the WSOD to date, although we will try and add another one very soon.

I hope you enjoyed the blast from the past...

February 11, 2011 - Post Game Show

Last night we played a Double Bounty Hold Em Tournament where part of your tournament entry went on your head and part went on a player of your choosing.

Must be early- Philly has chips (AQ is for donkeys)

Congratulations to Brain Kramp who (barely) won.  Collectively the group is disgusted with themselves. Also in the money - I came in second and Big Stack came in third.

That smile won't last long...read on...ha ha ha

All players had a colourful name tag with their bounty displayed.  Kramp really wanted to paint his whole body pink to match his sticker, just like he did at Halloween...

Who put  Kramp in the wash with his red socks?

The tournament went over well and I heard from a lot of players that wished to play this format but couldn't attend - we will play this one again, it's a keeper.

Below are pictures from the cash game...

Bob's stack won't be so that small for long - He hasn't been a blufaluffagus like this for a long time. 

Spanky makes a rare but profitable night thanks to Philly

Philly and Mike play spin the bottle

The night progressed and Big Stack Bob true to form built a mountain of chips.  There wasn't a person he wouldn't put pressure on and bluff, and there wasn't a person he didn't take money from.  Bully.

Is that a bracelet weighing down his right wrist?

Want to see what Bob's pressure made people look like?  This kind of stress takes years off your life!

Decisions, decisions...fold my K high or call?

And finally let this last picture be a visual reminder of the fastest fall from a big profit night to a one hand tilt show.  Kramp lost a hand to Army that set him off and he lost / rebought / lost / rebought / lost / stood up and dug for whatever he had left in his pocket / rebought / lost / stood up said goodnight / rebought / lost / rebought / lost.  He went from a nice big black mark in his poker book to a big fat bright red one (validating everything I've been posting about him on the blog to date...)
