An early big pot in PLO8. We had a couple seemingly unusual occurrences in PLO8 last night. On two occasions, high got quartered with matching straights whereas low took the entire half. I don’t think that happens as often as low getting quartered.

A couple guys that don’t often win were the big winners. That’s always nice. All in all, another fun night with @chipjoker, @Donvito, and the rest.

I won the high hand with quad aces. Two in the hole, turn brought an ace and three suits to the board. River was the fourth ace. Didn’t get as much action as I would’ve liked, but so it goes.

Annual season finale game to wrap up season 11 of our club. 14 regular season games with $10 from every player of every game going towards the final pot. $40 buy in for the final night but the winner took home $1600, 2nd $1200, 3rd $800, etc and there was a total prize pool of over $4k.

6 tables in total, 3 upstairs, 3 downstairs though one of the tables was overflow for cash game.

Starting stacks, everyone got different amounts depending on their league standings. They ranged from $18,900 to $45,450.

Off to the races! Just a few hands in and I already managed to lose a good amount of chips. C'est la vie.

Already posted but an insane hand about halfway through the night. AK and JJ all in, (A6 folded preflop but showed their hand). Right to left, AAK board, then runner runner Jacks for quads. Very appropriate since our club is called the Runner Runner Club.

Some dinner, Memphis Blues BBQ house. Enough to feed 40 people with a bit of leftovers.

Final table, nearing the end and a pretty significant chip lead by the eventual winner.

The winning hand, 959 flop, A5 shoves and Q9 insta-calls to win the whole shabang. Heads up lasted an entire 1 hand.

Guy in the backwards hat looks like that one guy on LatB whose name I can't recall.

That's Griffin Benger, he busted out Will Kassouf a couple years back...

.25/.50 NLHE with my new set of (used) Dunes CC via PCF. Up $15 at the end of the night, not the big winner, but not the big loser either. The Dunes are great.

Got my clock cleaned last night but it's always a great time when this group gets together. Thanks @Shaggy for hosting. Thanks to @chipjoker for stopping by my place at 1:30 in the morning to do some wood work for me!!! Really appreciate it!!!

Brutal game this Friday - came in second thanks to luckbox McGee always having better cards than me. The only bonus was that I won the bottle bounty for knocking out last month's winner.

I wasn't in this hand but excuse the blur, I'd been drinking. It always amazes me that even 6-handed, we had quads and a straight flush...

The only way those photos are correct is that the top row is more likely to have thick globs of something sticky on them.

Bud Jones are smooth, creamy, and after 10 years of use show no cracks, chips or fleabites. Which photo really belongs with which chip?

You peeps don't know what you're missing with the Big Easy chips. Just about everybody I talked to was skeptical about handing plastic chips. Until I broke out some racks and they handled them for real. The change in attitude was palpable.

You aren't wrong. Fresh S2s handle much better than other BJ chips, especially V7s. The BJ roulettes also handle much better than V7s in my experience.

 

[Poker Zombie]

I'll take the BJv7 over the v2 anyday, but the BJv2 are still better than any other plastic chip maker.

About the V7 vs S2. But that's okay.

I spend half the year in Papua New Guinea, and this is the game I play in. When I first got there a year ago, they were using a Wild Turkey set that came in a tin, and a fold out green "felt". I have since brought over 500 China clays, two decks of bicycle prestige, two decks of modiano Platinum, a jumbo button, and a neoprene topper. Oh and also tournament director on a 10' projector

Still trying to get a home game going back home in Vancouver.

I always find it amusing how different a paulson 8V chip looks in a stack vs face up on the table, those purple $500s turn to yellow! Great set!

They sure do! Thankfully they had the wisdom to not use a yellow 1k

If you asked me to imagine a group of New Zealanders playing poker, this is exactly what I would imagine.
