Tonight’s game
Q: What are the blinds?
A: They these forced bets you have to make before action commences.
Can’t remember who that interchanges was between – Nic R maybe? – but made me laugh.
TT came out well in this hand with KK:

Most of my chips went in that hand. Then I made a bad shove against short-stacked Kev when he had AK, and then I finally got put out of my misery running 78 into Tony’s AA.
I think at one point Bri said ‘call’, not realising someone else had already gone all in. Awkward! Not even sure what happened there.
Later on, Gaz shoved (blind?) with J6o – only to run into Mark England’s A6 (I think). But 2 jacks on the flop solved that problem. 🙂
Gaz went on to win, beating the prolific Simon Smith heads-up, with Tony T third.

Should be a very exciting finish to the season – 3 in clear contention but another 7 in touching distance. Could Mooch win his second title, Simon his first or, God help us, Tony his third?!
Cash game
Well we learnt a few things: Liam always has quads, swapping 6 cards in Stomaha = I lose my chips, and Omaha Lo only does NOT work

Started watching The Expanse on Netflix. Quite boring so far. :/
