Mr solo mentioned PMs all around.

*Hey, can moderators read our PMs? That would be pure rotten. We love you guys.;);)

 

[hank solo]

Mods can't read PMs. I'm dealing, not playing and I'll deal round the table to select who's on the button, first A or highest card. Players have been given seats in the order they've joined the table. I have 4 seats filled so far, game starts in about 12 hours (give or take).

This is an experiment. I expect the first hand to take about 2 weeks to play out ... :D

 

[Ponder]

I'm in.

Me too.

 

[Father Luke]

Happy Monday . . .

Don't make me get my photoshop out. . .


It's the middle of the night for Ponder.

I'm up next. I'm going to get a cold one.
Be right back. . .

 

[hank solo]

Oh go ahead and put your hat back on Father Luke, I hear that hotel gets draughty.

 

[Gerard K H Love]

I'm in and for the bump.

How do we wake ponder?

 

[Father Luke]

Don't bet out of order.

 

[Gerard K H Love]

Well I didn't want to hold things up in case ponder should wake up at my 3 a.m. Some of us have to show up at work in the wee hours.

I really find the bald Bukowski to be quite disturbing. He looks like a Iranian terrorist. Please get some hair on him.


That little picture is diplayed in over 2172 posts and everyones friends list.-Mr. popularity..the corgi is snoring.ZZZZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzz

 

[Father Luke]

I'll put my hat on when Ponder gets here. :p

 

[Ponder]

Ok, I'm awake.

Fold.

 

[Gerard K H Love]

Put your hat on I'm in and going to bed, good night.

Thank you Father Luke.

 

[Father Luke]

Fold.

 

[Gerard K H Love]

It might take a couple of weeks. But I'm having fun Thank you FL

 

[Father Luke]

Thank hank.

Thanks hank solo for setting this up.
My hat is off to you!

 

[Father Luke]

Some of us have to show up at work in the wee hours.

If you played Poker for a living, you could
work when you wanted. :p

 

[hank solo]

Still pre-flop.

Purple Stickpin raised to $40.
Ponder folds on the button.
Father Luke folds from the SB.
Gerard K H calls from the BB.

Action on hoochmonkey9 - $20 to call.

Fold, call or re-raise?

 

[hoochmonkey9]

fold.

 

[Ponder]

Bad dealer.

 

[Purple Stickpin]

It looks to be just myself and Gerard K H Love at this point. Since he called but did not raise (nor did anyone else), I cannot raise, so I call.

 

[Gerard K H Love]

So now if hank solo ever wakes up we can see some cards.

 

[hank solo]

I'm always up.

2 Players. Gerard and Purple.

Burning 1 card.

Here's the flop.

Jack of Diamonds
Jack of Spades
3 of Clubs.



110 in the pot. Ignore hooch's chips - I forgot to remove them ;)

Action on Gerard.
Minimum bet is $20.

Fold, Check, or Bet?

 

[Gerard K H Love]

I bet $40.

 

[Purple Stickpin]

I'll see your $40 and raise another $40.

 

[Gerard K H Love]

I'm in. call.

 

[Ponder]

I don't trust the dealer.

 

[Gerard K H Love]

I have to.

 

[Father Luke]

My hat is off to the dealer.

 

[hank solo]

The Turn

I don't trust the dealer.

Why not?

Please note: I am doing this for real, with a new pack of Waddingtons 'Number 1' Linen Finish Playing Cards, which were very well shuffled and cut before dealing.

2 players. Pot now 270. Burning 1 card. Here's the turn card.

Ace of Diamonds.

Action on Gerard.

$20 min bet.

Fold, check or bet?

 

[Gerard K H Love]

Waddingtons? Oh I wish I would have known that before we started

$40. to Mr Stick.

 

[Purple Stickpin]

I'll call that $40.

BTW, Hank Solo, if you look at the Image Shack table, although you are physically dealing, the dealer chip is in front of Ponder. Methinks this is what he's getting at.

 

[hank solo]

Well, he's on the button position wise. Fair enough.

2 Players. 350 in the Pot. Burning 1 card. Your River Card:

Ace of Spades.

(It's like watching the Cincinnati Kid!)

Action on Gerard.

 

[Gerard K H Love]

Bet $100.

 

[Purple Stickpin]

I'll call that $100. Looks like we're done here.

 

[Ponder]

Full House for Gerard?
