Getting ready for our "Show me" game. Everyone gets a show me chip which they can throw into the pot which forces the winner of the hand to show their cards when the hand is over. That player then gets the show me chip and can use it later on. T5k.

Expected 24 players.

In $20 and out for $138 playing spread limit mixed game.

Outpost were buttery and used@desjgn cards. All around a great night.

Thanks @DrStrange for being a great host as always.

 

[DrStrange]

Thank you David.

He smoked the table tonight and me as well. I learned that JJ<QQ on the first hand of the night.

A good time was had by all -=- DrStrange

PS. I got to preview the bounty chip for all-in at the Alamo. Out meat-up is only three months away. The next time the Outpost chips are scheduled for play is for the meat-up.

Awesome Chips! I am currently putting together a set of these myself and hope to have them in play soon. Oiling them makes a HUGE difference in the colors, I highly recommend doing it.

Thanks! Going to oil them, but i didn't find the right oil yet in The Netherlands, and don't want to screw this up..

Would love to see some pictures when you have your set complete! Also high denominations?

 

[bsdunbar1]

Also high denominations?

Slightly pleased to see these at a cash game after a charity poker tournament. Need more.

Had a great time last night with @ruskba, @One Eyed Dollar, @Chbyfngr, and some other locals. This photo isn't exciting, but just an excuse for the story below...

So, here's the rundown of one of the craziest hands I've ever seen:

8 or 9 players, dealer starts passing out cards. Sends one card across the table and it lands face up -- and it ends up being an exposed Ace. The player who was meant to receive it is an Indian guy who fits the stereotypes: smart, good at math, known for wild bluffs but also having the nuts some of the time, and in his 7th year of a PhD for finance and capital allocation. He is about to turn in the Ace when he asks, "is it OK if I keep it?" No one has a problem with it, and we all kind of laugh it off as a silly play. For the hand description, I'll be referring to him as Indy.

The rest of the cards are dealt and betting begins. Action lands on Indy and he opens big. I can't remember the number but I want to say it's $6 or $7. This is pretty heavy for my .25/.50 and indicates a strong holding or a wild bluff. In Indy's case, most folks are putting him on a weak Ace bluff, but that's how he plays, so his reputation is coming into play a bit here. Action folds around to @Chbyfngr who is near the button, HJ or CU. He ponders for a bit and re-raises. Action then folds back to Indy.

We're now headsup and Indy gives off a little Hollywooding, trying to contemplate what to do with Chby's raise. After a few moments, he jams.... the table is mystified, with a combination of shock and laughter, since everyone knows he has one Ace. We're all putting him on some low offsuit kicker that he just decided to get out of line with.

@Chbyfngr ponders for a bit, even says something like, "did you really get that other Ace?" ...and ultimately calls.

@Chbyfngr tables his Kings... Indy tables his pocket Aces.

The Aces held up.

One of the sickest hands I've ever seen.

Nice. I'm of the opinion that they shouldn't have the option to keep the flipped card. It always becomes the burn at my house.

 

[Poker Zombie]

Agreed. We can debate if keeping a flipped ace is an advantage or not, but it should be the burn.

 

[justsomedude]

Oh PCF nits.

You're no fun.

 

[detroitdad]

Some times. We start the night with a grand on the table in our low stakes games. I try to keep things consistent rules wise. Imo it makes the game more fun

Had a long time friend who moved away to PEI come back to Ontario for a visit. He got a job dealing in the Red Shores casino, so he offered to deal. Had a packed house with 22 players cycling through on two tables. I have players from 5 provinces now on my wall.of fame. Alberta, Saskatchewan, Ontario, Nova Scotia and PEI.

Had a good night. In for $285 out for $826

No photos...but played a game at a buddies house Friday night. His first time hosting a game in his new house. Used some interesting chips (not dice chips, but very similar...yawn) but some awesome Bicycle plastic cards.

Played 3 games. T2,000 stacks, 15 mins levels starting 25/50 (yes, very short stacked). Game 1 had 7 players. I busted 5th for no money. Game 2 had 6 players, came in 2nd for 30% (of course this was the game with a lower buy in) and Game 3 I busted first with AK that flopped a pair and I knew I was ahead. Guy had Queens and he rivered the trip Queens, nnd just barely had me covered.

Well hosted and played by all involved. Was nice to go to someone else's place and play cards. Haven't done that in years. I'm usually the one hosting. But was great to play elsewhere for a change.

Of course, next week....the game returns to my place
