Deadly: +724 (+416)
Spicer: +338 (+338)
Pete: +$210 (nc)

Moocher: -94 (-200)
Jan: -$150 (nc)
Steve: -152 (-152)
American Chris: -400 (nc)
Dave: -$1150 (nc)
Phillberto: -$1298 (-218)

A few hands of note that I recall below. Any others?
Bigshot v Sham
Two spades on the flop. Bigshot bets out and Sham calls. The flush draw gets there and Bigshot bets again with Sham calling. A fourth spade falls and Bogshot checks. Sham bets out and Bigshot raises all in. Sham calls and shows a baby flush with 8 spades completing the flush. Bigshot shows Q3 and his bluff doesn't work out.
A brave or foolhardy call by Sham? Either way he felts Bigshot and ensures he suffers neglible losses.
Spicer v Moocher
A raised pot. Flop shows possible flush draw. Spicer bets out and is called by Moocher creating a sizeable pot. The flush draw hits and Spicer checks. Moocher bets out and is check raised allin. He calls and flips over trips. Its not enough as Spicer shows the nut flush. He is left with a number of outs though and spikes a queen on the river to felt Mr Spicer and rubs salt in the wound with an impromptu victory dance.
Phillberto v Deadly
Phillberto raises to $26 from the button. Deadly calls. Flop Kxx. Deadly checks. Phillberto checks. Turn brings another another undercard. Deadly checks and Phillberto bets 3/4 pot. Deadly calls. The river doesn't appear to help anyone and Deadly bets out for $40 more. Phillberto calls and both show pocket Q's to split the pot.
Phillberto v Bigshot
Multi-way limped pot to Phillberto in the big blind who raises and gets called by Sham and Moocher. Flop 9xx. Phillberto follows up with a bet and is put allin by Bigshot. Sham folds and Phillberto is left with a tough call of $60 to win $260. After his limp I put him on a middle pair and call with pocket 7's. My read is write but pocket 8's edge me out and I'm felted.
Moocher v Deadly v Steve
Shortstacked Steve pushes over the top of everyone with no real aggression being shown. With his tight image a fold might be expected but he is immediately called by Deadly. Moocher also calls. Moocher bets out on a non descript flop with all low cards and Deadly calls. A Queen hits on the turn and Moocher pushes allin. He is called by Deadly who tables AQ to take the pot against an unlikely holding of Moocher's that only just connected with a small pair.

Decent game anyway. Decent standard of play and very enjoyable. Winning would have been a bonus of course.

Lamma Poker Exchange: ...............3826(+78)

Bigshot checks in from the hotel above Korea's only casino. He's planning a trip down to take on the Korean underworld and left over GI's from back in the day. Online he begins to make the transition to cash and his roll continues to grow.
Deadly steps up to 100NL and loses to a suckout.
Phillberto steps up to 40NL and then conservatively steps right back down to 20NL after chalking up a run of preflop allins with big pairs that all holdup.
Moocher by the looks of it spent his entire weekend at the virtual felt. Despite scoring a 3rd place, 2nd place and win at the $3.00+0.30 45 man Star tourneys it is a break even week.
All quiet from el Jeem Grande.

The Roll Bowl

Lamma Poker Exchange: ...............3748 (+124)

So Deadly continues to chalk up a good run of profitable weeks. I struggle with a small profit despite scoring a $50 bonus. Moocher steps up from his $1 games again only to see it eat into his remaining bankroll. Bigshot overtakes Moocher to take over third spot and Lamma_Jim is a late result.

I'm Interpoker

Well managed to lose $48 in the process of clearing a $50 bonus last night. In my first round at the table on 50NL I was put allin pre-flop by 77 holding pocket rockets.

Seven on the flop meant I was never likely to be chalking up a winning session although I did win 2/3rds of it back before losing again.

Signed up for Interpoker on the Cryptologic network this morning and began the task of clearing another $100. Started on a 10NL table to accustomise myself to the software and despite a decent session chalked up a $10 loss. Oops.

Was playing on a 20NL table and right at the end of a slightly profitable session this hand came up.

Edmu was semi-loose and very aggressive post-flop.

Fresh Rolls

Lamma Poker Exchange: ...............3624 (+520)

So a solid week for the Lamma Poker Exchange. Tournament ranking slide for Phillberto and Moocher while Bigshot starts to climb back up the ladder. The race to reach US$3K starts to heat up and Bigshot now has Moocher in his sights. Lamma_Jim props up the bottom but it looks like has his bankroll has a bit of life in it yet.
