Celebrating my recent
CPC add-on with a little .25/.50 this past Friday. Decided to bump the standard $100 max buy-in up to $200 and throw both a $2 and $4 rock into the mix, which attracted the likes of
@MikesDad @Chippy McChiperson @PhilLaFond @kirchhausen @Buffalo and a few non-PCF'ers. The game actually ended up being a little tamer than we all assumed it would be, though a few LAG-tagonists also had to back out at the last minute. Here are some highlights:
And we're off.
CPC $1's mingling with ASM quarters and $5's (or "gingersnaps" as kirchhausen named them)
Within the first 15 minutes Phil flats a $2 open with AA in the BB and crushes the soul of a fresh $100 buy-in who had AJ on a AJJ flop. All the money gets in on the river and the poor guy never saw it coming.
Phil wins another decent pot with the Ray Lewis hand - flopped bottom two and rivers a boat.
Random pot brewing:
Big winners on the night were brothers Chippy and Kirch, the LAG and the Nit. Hero managed a small win somehow after many hours of folding every possible non-suited, non-connected hand with a 2, 3, or 4 in it. I did play two big pots but chopped them both:
Hand #1: In BB with AQo, $4 rock is put in play UTG, Kirch opens UTG+1 to $10, Buffalo calls, Chippy calls from SB. I decide to ship it for $120 more (covered by everyone else) figuring I have a good chance of picking up some dead money. Kirch and Buffalo fold and Chippy calls. We decide to run it twice and I miss everything. I announce Ace-high and Chippy turns over A6s for a worse Ace-high on the first board but he binked a 6 on the 2nd one. Chop it up.
Hand #2: Last hand of the night with AA and about $150 in the BB. Kirch opens to $2, 2 or 3 callers to me. I pop it to $12 and only Phil and non-PCF Villain call. 345r flop, I lead out for $25, Phil folds, Villain calls and has me covered. Turn is a 9, I bet about $65 and Villain shoves, I call. He says he has 69 for top pair and the OESD. We decide to run it twice. He binks the straight for the first one and I manage to hold up on the 2nd. Chop it up again, and game over.
