Live Poker Tonight
A group of my friends have been getting together fairly regularly to play poker for a little under a year now. We haven't played in several months but are having a go at it tonight. There are usually between 6 and 9 of us and we essentially play $20 sit n go's. The blinds are set up in a manner which causes most games to be under 2 hours in duration. At worst, you lose $60 but everyone has a good time.
The last time we played had our craziest games yet. I'm not sure whether there was a full moon that night or more than normal quantities of alcohol consumed or what. In our second game of the night, there were two players who had arrived late, one who had never played with us before.
On the very first hand, New Guy re-raises all-in from the small blind and gets called by the big blind and the initial raiser. The initial raiser won the hand to triple up .
Second hand, the winner of the initial hand called an all-in raise by someone holding Ace's and lucked out to take down another huge pot.
Third hand, after I declared that there was no way this hand would be as exciting as the first two, one guy pushes all-in pre-flop holding TT, gets called by the guy next to him holding QQ, called by another guy holding 66 and then called by the winner of the first two hands holding 64o. By this time we had all been killing ourselves laughing for a bit now and we were all obviously tilting and we must have been drunk to boot. Of course, the 64o hit a straight on the river and after 3 hands was sitting on his original stack plus 6 others. Nice start. He won that game.
We managed 4 games that night due some quicker than normal endings. The guy who started everything with the all-in re-raise, went all-in on the first hand of the next game and lost again. In his third hand ever played with us, he managed to not get eliminated and he was officially dubbed "All-in (LastNameHere)".
The WPT/WSOP is not in any danger of being overrun by any of us.
