Starting to look like a two-horse race for this year's title but it aint over till the Fat Lady Sings. Perhaps if Deadly can manage to take the slow boat to Lamma he could put himself in with a chance. Jim plunges down the leader-board after his performance and Sham loses his chance to climb back into positive territory after losing a big one in the last ten minutes.
Don continues to fare badly as he continues to get to grips with the game by following through with his untamed aggression. It is paying dividends online though it seems.

Live - Back at Phillberto's
Friday night poker eventually happened after much shenanigans. With Spice opting for a more stress-free night in the pub, Peter letting having a son the day before distract him and Moocher having a tooth removed and pleading sore gums as his match excuse we eventually got under way 4 handed expecting Sham and some fresh blood in Canadian Steve. In the end Steve couldn't make it so 5 handed it was.
Jim got off to an aggressive start betting into an AQx flop in a multi-way and then hitting a trip queens on the river but not getting any action.
I clashed with Don first calling his pre-flop raise with AKs in position. The flop came A9x giving me not only Top pair top kicker but also the nut flush draw. Facing an aggressive bet on the flop I considered just shoving then but decided to give Don some rope to hang himself given my likely lock on the hand. The turn brought a spade to give me the nut flush. Don virtually bet his entire stack then called the remainder of his stack off drawing dead with a 9 and second pair.
Don was also to cross swords with Bigshot in a big pre-flop play. With a lot of money in pre-flop Bigshot let Don make a sizeable bet into a low flop. He then pushed all-in over the top and Don called. It looked like a battle of over-pairs but Big-shot showed AK for a brave bluff. I suspect I would have let my pocket Tens go there but Don called the bet. A solid favourite to recoup his losses Don watched with horror as one of Mark's six outs hit and he lost to Barry Greenstein's favourite 'An Ace on the River'.
With a big stack I checked with A9 on the big-blind and was happy to see a flop of A96. Some money went in on the flop and I just called. Turn brought a K. I then re-raised Jim's bet to $60 expecting to take the pot down or get a call but instead faced a re-raise all-in.. With top and middle pair I was facing a tough decision. I could well have laid the hand down in certain circumstances. It was just over a pot sized bet I had to call so thought I would take my almost even odds. Jim turned over AT and I held up. It was certainly a bet that would fold any hands I beat so was a medium hand turned into a bluff.
For once I managed to build a decent stack early.
Jim managed to lose another couple of stacks but I'll need some reminders on how these happened. I think one was against Sham where Sham's hand held up.
My one clash with Bigshot came in a raised pot pre-flop that was played multi-way. Out of position I opted to take a flop with 79o and connected with Top 2 on the flop. Bigshot bet out and I called planning to reraise on the turn. The turn brought a card that would have made a straight if had been betting an open-ended draw so with big stacks at stake I was no longer comfortable my two pair was good. The river brought I think a Queen and I faced a river bet of around $100.
I now suspected I was up against at least Top-Pair and very possibly trips or a straight. I decided to err on the side of caution and folded my top pair - showing my hand. Bigshot showed Pocket Kings and seemed to be somewhat surprised I had laid it down. I just thought his bet was a tad large for an overpair and thought he would have started to become worried by my two flat-calls. Once again Bigshot gets the edge on me in a crunch hand and ensures he finishes as the big winner.
So with Jim, three buy-ins down calling it a night all four of us had started to assemble reasonable stacks.
With the crazy last fifteen minutes bell rung Sham and Bigshot clashed. A raise from Bigshot saw a call on all three streets. KTxxx board with all the money going in to give a pot in the region of $700. Mark showed flopped trip tens and bet his made hand the whole way through while Sham called him down with KJ losing his hard earned stack in one fell-swoop.
With the now traditional end of the night lottery won by Bigshot to round off spare chips into a lucky lottery won to save splitting hundreds we wound our weary way home at a rather civilized end time of shortly after midnight.

Well three plus figures for the week but one that jumps out. Don makes his second week in the world of online poker a dramatic one. Finishing first in a 180 man $12 tournament and taking down a prize of $594 which I think gives him the title for biggest prize taken down by anyone in the tournament circuit on this fare isle.
He hands some of it back but not to worry as he got involved in some 100NL cash game action. He called a stack off with AQ against AK in a A63 flop. No grinding for Don it seems. I think we may see a swing or two along the way as he heads for glory or bust.

I think the bet on the turn is a reasonable value bet. The bet on the river is too big to get a call from a weaker hand so presumably is trying to chase out TT-QQ and I'm not sure it can accomplish that often enough.

Another overplayed Big Slick gets its comeuppance. Just as well I think it would be fair to say the rest of his possible range would have drawn out on you. The board doesn't get much scarier than that for Cowboys.

I think the bet on the turn is a reasonable value bet. The bet on the river is too big to get a call from a weaker hand so presumably is trying to chase out TT-QQ and I'm not sure it can accomplish that often enough.

Phillberto +$300
Moocher -$200
Don -$500
With fewer participants than anticipated it was short handed action in storefor everyone. It actually led to a lot more action for everyone and theaction was pretty thick and fast. The action kicked off pretty early with Don trying to assert his aggressive mark on the game.
Mark limped on the button Don raised, I called and Bigshot then came back over the top forcing us both out of the pot.
Moocher trail-blazed an early lead after he took down a large pot against Bigshot. Moocher fired a big bet on the river which Bigshot opted to call.Moocher showed a surprise 'wheel' straight with A3 and with Bigshot mucking and leaving what he may have had an unsoved mystery. I suspect it was a bluff-catcher of sorts rather than a monster and was hoping to pick off a Moocher steal.
I managed to knock back a decent number of lagers with accompanying herbal enhancement so what I lack in preciseness of hands remembered I made up for in a relaxing Friday night chillin' on da roof.
As a short stack Bigshot repeated his trick of limping on the button. Don stuck in a big raise from the Small blind. With position and 99 I opted to call. Bigshot then moved all-in with his short-stack. Don folded, presumably looking to have stolen from a tight blind a weak limper. I called with very good pot odds hoping for a race with two overcards and finding Bigshot had made a move with 56s. He found one six on the flop and a second on the turn to save himself from the first felting of the night.
Bigshot and Moocher were to clash in a battle of the kickers. AJ versus AT but a Queen was to land on the river in an AA33 board ensuring the pot was split.
Don then inflicted some damage on me. I raised with 66 and bet out again on a low flop which Don called. I led out again on the turn with my open-ended straight draw with three of a suit on the board and was pushed all-in by Don leaving me in a pretty tough position. My pot odds were so good and I could well have been against a bluff with overcards and I made the call to find myself up against a flush with no outs.
After sitting on a short stack for a while it was agreed that buy-ins would be allowed and I exercised the option along with Don.
After that I found an opportunity to win some of my previous losses back. After seeing a flop for free on the Big Blind I stuck around with a flush draw which landed. Don bet into me on the river leaving himself only a small amount left and he called my raise putting him all-in. His top pair wasn't enough.
Bigshot and Moocher crossed swords in one of the defining hands of the night. An Action board of KQAJA with 3 suited. Moocher bet out with Top pair which improved to a straight on the turn but also filled up Bigshots flush. The board must have looked pretty scary to them both but with so much of the money in already and out of position Moocher pushed on the river. A fairly quick call from Bigshot on the river - although he probably wasn't beating much his pot odds just about justified it and Moocher showed what was pretty much a bluff while Bigshot's lowly flush held up.
I clashed again with Don. Bigshot raised, Don reraised and I came over the top, presumably signalling a pretty big hand. Bigshot read this as strength and folded but Don opted to call. A flop of Jxx and I bet out for half pot and was called. I bet half pot again on the river and was called. Don lead into me on the river and I called unsure as to where I stood. Don only held 66 and hoped to push me off my hand but lacked to $$$ to force me off my hand. I suspect a larger bet on the turn might have had a possibility of working but by the river I know what price to pay and my pot odds made it too hard to consider folding.
We clashed once again. This time with me holding JJ. I slowed up on an Axx flop and decided to c-bet. When a second Ace landed on the turn I bet out. Once again Don made a move on the river and I called with JJ with no obvious draws to see if he had the Ace he was representing. He did not.
A few brownie points for Bigshot on this hand. The two big stacks at the table clashed as both Bigshot and myself had in excess of $1,000 at the table. I got involved with 79o but in position. I flopped an open ended straight draw on a KT8 two suited board. Bigshot lead out and I stuck in a re-raise of $130. I thought I may have been able to fold top-pair and if I didn't reckoned my flop aggression would give me a good chance of seeing the next two cards for free. His response was a very ballsy shove for what must have been $900 more. An easy lay-down for me of course but a very nice time to re-raise as I could well have made that bet with trips not wanting to risk seeing a flush land and hoping to get some money out of AK or KT.
Bravest call of the day goes to Bigshot who called down yet another river bluff from Don holding A2 but holding only a pair of twos on a board of funnily enough lots of ovecards.
Looks like a typhoon is a brewing....
