Cub Match #2


Well thank you for the wonderful turn out for week two. Those in attendance were myself, uncle Yves, mom, Sonya, tante Lise, and Mike.
As usual week two started off slow as we were all playing really tight.
I myself was pretty much card dead, but found some hands and raised them only to get it folded around.
The only notable hand I had worth mentioning was when I called a preflop raise from Mike with a 7h8h. I flopped the straight and managed to get a decent pot vs Mike but the buck stopped there.
Poor tante Lise has been ousted first for the second straight week.
She raised preflop with just below half of the 2000 chip starting stack an eventually ended up reraising. Her KK lost to a back door straight that Mike caught with him holding 1010.
Better luck next time tante Lise.
Sonya, was out for her first match of the season and really could not come out of the gate well, as she was much like me, card dead.
I did however like her picture of Massimo as her avatar.
Uncle Yves looked like he might continue his winning ways as he did build his chip stack up there early on, but lost a big hand to Mike when he flopped a set of Queens only to have Mike staight out on him to.
Mom did well and ended up with a second place finish, but really had a had no chance vs Mike's chip stack.
Congrat's to Mike week 2 winner. A cool 50 dollars profit.

On the OTA front reception from Erie PA has been dismall. I am barely receiving 54-1 WQLN PBS since the winter has come. Hoping the Spring brings better reception.
A Happy birthday with to family member Massimo this month.

Please note there has been a change to Club week three game. It has been moved to Friday February 4, 2011 @ 8:35PM. This is to free up the week end for SuperBowl Sunday.

Wow, I'm back.
Welcome to a new year.
I will now be following Marco's Crib, a new home for online poker based by Poker Stars new Home Games series.
We now have 7 strong that have joined.
The inaugural winner was my mother "Alley33" whom beat out my uncle Yves "yvesdaman" after uncle Yves had a 4-1 chip stack lead.
We all played extremely tight.
The first person to lose was tante Lise "pichou???". Better luck next match tante.
I brought out some of my cheerleaders but they didn't help.
See you next Sunday Jan 30, 2011 at 7:05PM for game 2.
