Tubes, that's no good. Did second get anything at all? Gift certificate, a thanks for your efforts T-shirt, anything? So what was the coinflip you lost?

I was the small blind and had about 2/5 of the chips in play. I had just doubled up on him.

I am dealt suited QJ and decide that is good enough to try it again. He calls with pocket 2's, and no face cards ever come. So I don't know the exact odds but I am pretty sure I am at least a 50% favorite if not a couple points above him actually.

Bummer. I got a $25 gift certificate for my efforts.

However I am certainly having a dominating run at the Fado tournaments.

Pre-flop you had a 52% chance of winning - aka coin flip. After the flop that would have dropped to about 30%.

I hate getting called on an all-in coin flip.


BTW: Anyone Interested in a Poker Game this Friday or Saturday Night?

[Scott Oliver]

I would be interested, but unsure of my exact schedule as my parents are coming into town.

So I would probably not be available until a bit later than usual.

[Steve Stogel]

I'll probably be playing poker, but it'll be in Vegas, baby!!!! Woohoo.

Um....the run has certainly extended to mi casa as well. Ignoring that poker book you borrowed from me has certainly served you well.

Oh yeah reading a few chapters of TJ Cloutier's "Let's Only Play Aces" book has really helped!

I have some plans for a very nice poker table that will be a piece of furniture if I build it.

That sounds like a fun project!

If I can convince the Mrs. to OK a permanent table for our next house, this is the design I am currently most interested in:

I got her to sign off on a dedicated theater, but a poker room might be asking too much. I wonder if one could design a poker table top that would fit over a pool table like they do for ping pong table tops - or would that result in too high and too large of a poker table?

Does either night work for you Scott?

Anyone else interested in having a poker game this Friday or Saturday night?

Friday night is now out for me, as Maria wants to go out that night.

So, I don't know I guess poker just won't be possible this weekend for me, although it looks there isn't enough interest anyhow.

poker room in addition to an HT room (Death Wish, anyone??).

It just takes the right woman Hank. Raelene insisted on a game room and instigated the purchase of our new poker table.

Hope everyone has a great 4th. Raelene and I will be in Colorado for some needed vacation time.
