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.

I think Steve plays very tight and we don't! He said he found it difficult to get a read on everyone, so that could be another reason. Obviously we have seen each other bluff enough to call a few!
How do you feel a more aggressive approach might fare? Maybe make any hand you want to play a raise of $50? Take out any limpers and make bluffing more interesting.....
