4 Hours to Go, and Counting...
4:30 p.m., Saturday the 11th. 4 hours to go to what Nick G is calling "the Bel-Air Classic."
The barbecue that'll be served tonight is now cooking on my grill, and the incomparable aroma of manang's special recipe is wafting through our house. I guarantee it, after you've tasted this bbq, everything else pales in comparison.
I've just gone through Nick G's blog, and thanks for the birthday greeting buddy. You've put so much in since last time. Seeing all your posts is making my blog feel like the short stack 1/10th heads up. Even after all the online clients I've tried, which I promise to review in the coming weeks, and all the games I've played the past few weeks, I still haven't to add much meat to this blog.
About these past weeks...Kix has created a monster!!! Yes, I'm talking about Nik. Not Nick G, who was already a monster when we met him, but our very own Nik T(no C, just the K) from FAPA. Ever since he paid his tuition fee to the Kix school of Poker, he's been damn near unbeatable. I'm talking coming back from 70 bucks in chips to split the pot with Kix in Thursday night's tournament at Joel's, winning the 14-handed game at Pobs', to moneying in all the other sessions in between. Man, the way he's betting, you never know what he has. Be afraid. be very afraid. I know I am.
Tonight's tourney is actually the second we've hosted. Had to take a long break before putting together this one as Pobs Hansen was over in the US of A trying his luck at the Atlantic City. The first was a mild success, with all thirty seats filled, though a few were autofolded for a good amount of time with some players coming in late.
This evening, we'll have a whopping 40 seats, which, if you think about it, is the biggest Hold 'Em tourney this country has ever seen! (echoes seen...seen...seen...)
Ok, it doesn't sound as epic as I'd want it to. And the Stateside tourneys would laugh at this figure, but hey, we gotta start somewhere. Until PAGCOR or somebody else gets their act together, this is as good as it gets boys.
I'm glad the FAPA crew decided that we can participate tonight. As of the last planning pow-wow, the inclination was to sit this one out. that would have been a wast. Really, we're not making money out of this, and the only satisfaction we get is playing against a diverse crew.
Yep, tonight is gonna be a whopping good time. Nick's Alabang Crew, Ken's Tamarind Road gang, the boys and gal over at Solar Sports, the Pinoy Rounders, and a whole bunch of other afficionados. Gonna be mondo fun.
Too bad Ian's not here. How are the tables over at Macau's new Sands bud?
5:30. 3 hours to go and counting...
