Back to Basics
*SIGH*
Recent events have created new beings -- lost poker players. People who knew what they'd do and where they'd go most nights. Knew with absolute certainty that Tuesday and Thursday night, they'd be at the River Room, knew they'd have a tough time waking up the next day, but knew that the night of fun Poker and hanging with friends would be well worth the extra shot of espresso.
A couple of these lost souls got together Friday night at my place: The Gentle Giant (there is no dousing the poker fire in this guy!), The Rock, Tournament Director, Haba-Haba, Kimpossible and her hubby Yamashita, The Professor/GRO/Tighty-Whitey, Ricky Re-Raise, Ryan (Man, we gotta come up with a nick for you), and myself.
We were supposed to play a one-winner satellite to December 17, but nixed that idea in favor of a 500 buy-in and 3 places paid. Split the first round with Professor/GRO/Tighty-Whitey, with Yamashita coming in 3rd. The second round saw several re-buys and a mucho grown prize pool. Came in 3rd on that one, with Tournament Director and Yamashita splitting first.
That night was also SUPPOSED to have Ace coming over, but who got waylaid by some urgent matter. Man, Tournament Director brought a WHOLE CASE OF SUDS just for you!!! We were really looking forward to having you over. Really looking forward to it. *SOB*
So its back to home games for now, rounding the houses and offices of the River Room regulars. In a way, its comforting to again play small games with a tight bunch of friends.
Again, I must say that the River Room did profit us with a bigger group of people we can count as part of the tight bunch of friends.
Ace my man, just say when, and there'll be another case waiting for you.
