I must have been double up king last night! First I doubled up Missy… Then about two hands later doubled up Oslo.

That left me crippled. Tough night. Had a great time and it was wonderfull to see the new faces!

Welcome and return often!

Great job NFM!!

I got him off to a bad start.

About the fifth or sixth hand, Peeker put out a river value bet on a unconnected board . I saw through it completely and call his obvious bluff with top pair. he rolled over 2-4 hearts and I laughed and guffawed uncontrollably while an endless stream of F-bombs hit the poker room chat board.

I only wished I had AIM to see what he was saying behind my back. 😃

I had fun too. I haven’t played poker in years. I’m prone to holding onto hands too long and betting when I shouldn’t just to see the flop when I’ve been away for so long.

Good times, though. Hopefully my next Thursday is clear…I would love to do it again so I can climb atop the rankings!

actually a more viable long term strategy is just to hold your own and let folks like me go plummetting down around you.

and **dag** you are a bitter ol’ soul. 😃

Oh No, I have been in this thread less than 24 hours and TPTB are going to have award using one on my quotes. I am so honored, humbled, and probably will be humiliated with with the award.

I held Pocket Queens early last night, standard raise, and lost to a suck out.

Probably should play QQ as AA.

So PeekerCPA DFL finish knocked him 3rd place @ 67.8 to 6th place @ 58.0?

How many more DFL’s does he have to have to put so he gets a hammer lock on the DFL Quarterly award.

FWIW, I will do my best to put him where he belongs.

Peek’s 2/14 finish last week gave him some significant points: it make take a few more DFL’s to allow him to win QDFL.
