FUN NIGHT

After playing our JGPT Satellite last night, we went to BBC to hangout with friends and watch some poker games. There were two satellites there last night. So I was watching and a group of people wanted to play SNG. While Big Wally was still playing one of the satellites, he wanted to join the SNG as well. He was relatively short stacked in the satellite game, maybe that's why he wanted to join the SNG. So as I was seating beside him as a spectator, he asked me to play his SNG while he's still in the satellite game. I am flattered that Big Wally would entrust me. But I just have to ask him, "Are you sure?" And he said yes.

So as we we're arranging our SNG, I informed the table that im just filling in for Big Wally. But later on we leanred that it would not be fair that I'll be playing for the mean time. Ummm, how do I explain this? Ok. They will be adjusting to my game. Then later on, if another person will take my seat, they would have to adjust to another type of game. I agree that is it not fair for them. So Big Wally decided to stake me instead. He's such a sweetheart.

The table was filled with really good poker players. There's Misha, Barbs, John, Miguel, Ariel, Atty. Mon, Ze German Snake, Grouch and Goma. No, I don't feel like a fish. I feel like a bait to a fish!!! Much worse....

I wasn't really getting spectacular cards, unlike Goma who got "the girls" for for freaking times! Wow!

And I've been short stack like forever.

But the real fun aside from playing poker is the chemistry of people there last night. Everybody's crazy and funny. There were side bets on who'd be staying longer, a jack on the flop and stuffs like that. I also discovered that cranberry juice can be bad while playing poker. Or at least for Barbs. :-) Thanks to Misha for the booze together with Kath's nicely made poison. What a night huh?

Amazingly, I reached 3rd place. And I am sooooo happy! I hope this is the start of my winnings again and finally ending my drought and bubbles. Great game guys!

P.S.
I also want to salute the Camp Hold 'Em guys for their game last night. Goma got a seat for the tourney, Mike got the money and Mark also got the money on the other satellite for finishing 2nd. Oh, Benny is missing in action again.

And congrats to ARIEL for winning the JGPT Satellite game for the rooftop invitational. REPRESENT!!!
