Quad City

We had nine runners show at J-Dawg's Poker Extravaganza Wednesday nite. After a quick dinner, the cards were in the air a little after 7 o'clock.

From left to right we had Dealer Larry, Farmer Harry, J-Dawg, Glass Man, Cell, Ollie the Accountant, Stamps, Ray-Ray, and yours truly.

It was a night of big hands, with J-Dawg hitting quad sixes, followed by Glass Man's quad kings, both within the first five hands. Cell later hit quad dueces, but Stamps walked away with the High Hand Jackpot with quad aces. I folded an 8-4 of spades, only to see the 5-7 of spades on the flop and the 6 of spades on the river as I longingly looked at my straight flush laying in the muck. Oh well.

I was the big winner on the evening, cashing for a $32 profit in this $20 buy-in, dealer's choice limit game. Stamps walked away with an extra $22 in his pocket, with Cell and Ray-Ray both winning $15 each. Harry was the biggest contributor, losing $15, but just about everyone else at the table walked away a little lighter in the wallet.

A fun evening of poker while watching the final day of baseball's regular season on the tube. Fun times!

Till next time, win the flips!
