1st MH old boys club game REPORT

 

The first Much Hoole Old Boys poker club torny was played tonight using Pokerstars excellent home game feature.

Beforehand i wondered whether or not anyone would bother to register/play, but my worries were soon eroded as nearly everyone was as keen as me for an online reunion and the chance for a good laugh with a bit of poker thrown in.

So a pat on the back for IAN, STE, BROWNIE, NEIL, BAZ and myself for making the effort to get together and relive the old days.

 

Even before the torny had seated my phone received various messages of support , like the one from Browny saying he was going to rape my bankroll.....and pretty soon into the game he was telling the table how he wanted to rape something else LOL  (and that wouldnt have left me sitting very comfortably!!!)

In hindsight i made the structure of the torny a little too long as most of us had work in the morning. But the $3 buy-in was worth it just for the laugh, and the banter was pretty much constant right from the off.

Browny who hasnt played too much poker was the first to be knocked out after about an hour and a half, but stayed around for a good while longer to continue the banter.

           Brownies exit hand , unluckily running a set of 2's into a rivered straight

Ians exit hand, it was getting late so "the boy lard" kept going all-in with ATC. However he was doing pretty well up until this point.

Neil Dewings exit hand,  pocket TT on a dry board was no match for the magic of Brian hitting his set on the turn.

 The majority of my stack was wiped out against my brother, his all-in bet on the river looked a pretty much standard call..........maybe not....thats magic!!!

 I managed to claw some back and doubled up vs Stevie (boatdrinks) with QQ vs JJ, but it was no good as my two pair was garbage compared to the magic of a set of Aces

 But in the end even the magic of Brian wasnt good enough to hold out against an overcard.

SO CONGRATULATIONS TO BOATDRINKS76 (STE EDDY) FOR WINNING THE VERY FIRST MUCH HOOLE OLD BOYS POKER CLUB TORNY.

It was a great evening of entertainment and i hope to organise another one in January once the hustle and bustle of christmas is out the way.

GG lads.
