Just a spectacular night last night with my poker group. (Texas Hold-Em play)

Game 1: I went all in on the first hand and was called. I won, and went on to knock out everybody else at the table except for one en route to winning.

Game 2: When it got down to head-to-head play, one guy was outchipped 9-to-1. He came back and won.

Game 3: Me and another guy were both all-in and had a million outs, but we lost to a pair of pocket eights. The guy who knocked us us ended up winning. Things were about even in head to head play, but then he got trapped by pocket aces and made the all-in call with a J-Q. He hit a straight on the river and won.

My driving licence should in theory be a lot easier to find than my passport - in that I know where my driving licence is supposed to be, and I know I used it a few months ago. I have no idea where my passport is.

Caitlin, do you have both the bits of your licence? Do you keep them together?

― Markelby (Mark C), Thursday, 17 February 2005 20:28 (nineteen years ago) link

Both bits? It's only got one. I don't have one of these posh modern photo ones.

― caitlin (caitlin), Thursday, 17 February 2005 20:38 (nineteen years ago) link

Oh I see.

So we currently have Dom, me, Ken and Chris. Ste? Julia? Caitlin? Jams? David? 9 would be rad!

Next game I will be there. Unless you are playing play money tonight. I think I won $5000 in 2 hours one night. Too bad it was play money.

dave you need to be in for "real money" in order to sit in.

― Chris 'The Nuts' V (Chris V), Thursday, 17 February 2005 23:26 (nineteen years ago) link

I'm trying! Stupid credit cards are getting DONGED, tho. I will have to try this again @ a later date.

― Chris 'The Nuts' V (Chris V), Thursday, 17 February 2005 23:57 (nineteen years ago) link

Turned $29 into $49. That'll do me.

(Chris, you totally pwn when you're focused on pwning)

― Markelby (Mark C), Thursday, 17 February 2005 23:59 (nineteen years ago) link

Here's my new name.

― Mark "The Shark" LB (Mark C), Thursday, 17 February 2005 23:59 (nineteen years ago) link

its tough to concentrate when your drunk and its dinner time. mark, maybe when your in massachusetts in may we can get you to visit me and organize a game?

― Chris 'The Nuts' V (Chris V), Friday, 18 February 2005 00:01 (nineteen years ago) link

Maybe Chris - if Sarah's up for it, I'm up for it (as long as it's small stakes as I'm prety sure you would REALLY pwn me in real life).

― Markelby (Mark C), Friday, 18 February 2005 00:03 (nineteen years ago) link

trying doing it whilst on the phone!

― ken c (ken c), Friday, 18 February 2005 00:04 (nineteen years ago) link

haha. $20 will get you $100 in chips. so basically to win money you would need to get $200 in chips to make $40.

― Chris 'The Nuts' V (Chris V), Friday, 18 February 2005 00:06 (nineteen years ago) link

or we could make it UK rules.....whatever the hell those are. Seriously...if we don't have a markelby and sgs fap i will be pissed!

― Chris 'The Nuts' V (Chris V), Friday, 18 February 2005 00:07 (nineteen years ago) link

and you'd have a place to stay if need be. the bingo house has a guest room.

― Chris 'The Nuts' V (Chris V), Friday, 18 February 2005 00:07 (nineteen years ago) link

That's kind of you! Do you have cats, Chris (we're both allergic)?

Sarah probably wouldn't play poker, though - she's fiscally cautious :)

― Markelby (Mark C), Friday, 18 February 2005 00:16 (nineteen years ago) link

Where are you guys playin'? I might want to get in on this. I love me some poker.

― donut debonair (donut), Friday, 18 February 2005 01:35 (nineteen years ago) link

― Chris 'The Nuts' V (Chris V), Friday, 18 February 2005 02:03 (nineteen years ago) link

I'm playing w/ fake money right now.

― David R. (popshots75`), Friday, 18 February 2005 02:10 (nineteen years ago) link

me too. im up to $3500 somehow

― phil-two (phil-two), Friday, 18 February 2005 02:14 (nineteen years ago) link

are you guys playing against each other, or just against anybody?

― donut debonair (donut), Friday, 18 February 2005 02:19 (nineteen years ago) link

Same time tomorrow then.

― Dom Passantino (Dom Passantino), Friday, 18 February 2005 02:27 (nineteen years ago) link

we should totally get a group for playing with fake money. also, for those who suck. because i have no fucking idea what i'm doing.

― JuliaA (j_bdules), Friday, 18 February 2005 02:44 (nineteen years ago) link

I can't wait until I finish the current work project. Ah'mo play me some cards.

― Curious George Rides a Republican (Rock Hardy), Friday, 18 February 2005 02:53 (nineteen years ago) link

Yay! Enthusiasm!

A fake money game could be quite fun, though I bet we wouldn't see The Nuts there :)

― Markelby (Mark C), Friday, 18 February 2005 10:56 (nineteen years ago) link

is it possible to move forward future games by half an hour?

― ken c (ken c), Friday, 18 February 2005 11:05 (nineteen years ago) link

Why not start the game at 10pm instead, giving me a perfect excuse not to sit through Nathan Barley?

― Dom Passantino (Dom Passantino), Friday, 18 February 2005 11:11 (nineteen years ago) link

Moving games forward would make me significantly more likely to appear on weeknights - often I'm still active at 10 but half-asleep by 11.

― caitlin (caitlin), Friday, 18 February 2005 11:21 (nineteen years ago) link

I'd be cool with that (except on Wednesdays - America's Next Top Model, people).

Dom, did you leave in a huff last night? Caitlin, did you find yr licence?

― Markelby (Mark C), Friday, 18 February 2005 11:22 (nineteen years ago) link

10pm sounds all the better.

― ken c (ken c), Friday, 18 February 2005 11:32 (nineteen years ago) link

Nah, I just cut my losses without saying goodbye. Made it back on another table though...

― Dom Passantino (Dom Passantino), Friday, 18 February 2005 11:41 (nineteen years ago) link

of course i'd play in the fake money games as well. although you would all be jealous of my enormous stack i've built up over the years of playing online.

― Chris 'The Nuts' V (Chris V), Friday, 18 February 2005 12:19 (nineteen years ago) link

My mother: "oh, yes, I filed your driving licence away with your payslips so it would be easier to find." So at least I've got a lead on where it *should* be now.

― caitlin (caitlin), Friday, 18 February 2005 12:24 (nineteen years ago) link

do you know where your payslips are?

― ken c (ken c), Friday, 18 February 2005 12:27 (nineteen years ago) link

They're *supposedly* in a big red filing box on a shelf in the dining room. Apart from the ones that are still in the posession of the Student Loans Company, of course.

― caitlin (caitlin), Friday, 18 February 2005 12:28 (nineteen years ago) link

You do not have the key for this filing box
what now?
