June Results. Next game? We’re not sure…

Greetings all!

Thanks for coming down to play last night. The game was short on players, but certainly not short on excitement. I give you this month’s winners; congratulations to all:

1. Tim W.
2. Mike S.
3. Tom S.

We’re not sure when the July game will be, but keep your eye on your email for the next evite. Thanks!

P.S. Make sure you send out Good Luck Vibes to Tom and Russell as they take on a field of thousands at the WSOP later this month!

May Results, Next Game Probably June 12

Greetings all!

Once again, thanks for making the trek down to play in our humble little card game. We had fun; hope you did, too.

1. Debbie G.
2. Chip D.
3. Ant.
4. Frank G.
5. Danny S.

Our next game will likely be on Saturday, June 12, but Sheila’s in a show, so we may shift it to Sunday the 13th. Look for an Evite coming soon.

Points Race

April Results, Next Game May 8

Once again, thanks to each and every one of you for coming down to play. Also, I’d like to thank everyone who helped keep the game running once yours truly found nothing but an empty felt table before him.

Before we get into the winners, I’d like to address the subject of slowrolling. I witnessed it once, and heard of another instance at another table. While a rule does not exist to outright ban this action, it is a matter of etiquette. Again, this is first and foremost a gathering of friends around a game of cards. If your bet is called, show your hand immediately or muck. If you have the winning hand, please show it immediately.

Thanks for your cooperation!

With that out of the way, congratulations to our winners:

1. James D.
2. Russell W.
3. Debbie G.
4. Tom S.
5. Donna S.

Our next game will be on May 8 at 7:00PM. Look for an evite soon.

Hope to see ya’ll at the next game on November 14th.

Thatisall.

August and September Results

Hello all:

Sorry for the delay in posting the points race. Without going into a bunch of excuses, let’s just say that I haven’t updated the blog in a while and leave it at that. Below you’ll find the winners of the past couple of games as well as the current points standings.

Final Table Points Error

I mistakenly awarded points to players for making the final table in the June and July games. In order for a player to be awarded a point for making the final table, the game must start with at least 16 players. In the June and July games we only started with 13 and 12, respectively. I’ve adjusted everyone’s point totals accordingly, and I apologize for any confusion this may cause.

August Winners

Congratulations to our August Winners:

1. Buzz S.
2. Mike S.
3. Alison M.
4. Tom S.

September Winners

Congratulations to the September Finalists:

1. Sheila P.
2. Chris M.
3. Debbie G.

Current Points Race

With this post, we bring to a close one helluva year of poker. We say it a lot, but we mean it: we hope you’ve had as much fun playing as we’ve had hosting. Once again, we’d like to thank you for coming down to play last night, and for helping to create a great season of exciting card action.

A big welcome to our newest (and hopefully regular) player Mike Schiffman. Thanks to everyone for making him feel welcome.

The final points race is below. Congratulations to our regular season points winner Tim W.!

NOTE: this game will replace our regular January game. From this point forward, we will be moving to an 11-game season, with the TOCOI being held the following January.

November Results, Next Game December 6

The whiskey bottle sits empty. Poker chips, so coveted not 12 hours ago, lay scattered on green felt. Playing cards are cold, stock-still. My head is screaming for relief.

Another Second Saturday Showdown comes to a close, and we salute this month’s winners. Check out the points race below.

1. Craig H.
2. Buzz S.
3. Chris M.
4. Sheila P.

Thanks for playing everyone. We can’t tell you how much we enjoy hosting the game, and consider ourselves very lucky that we have a group of friends willing to make the journey down once a month to play a game that we both love.

Next game will be December 6, the first Saturday, at 7:00PM. Hope you can make it. Look for an evite soon.

October Game Results; Next Game November 8

Hey everybody:

Thanks again for navigating the pothole-laden passage named Providence last night to participate in our peripherally pleasant poker game.

We had a great group, and we’d like to welcome back Craig to his first game this year. Hopefully he’ll be back on a more regular basis. To those that had to miss the game, sorry you couldn’t make it; hope all is well.

Once again, we hope you had as much fun playing as we did hosting. Hope to see you next month on November 8 for the next (and actual) Second Saturday Showdown. Look for an evite coming soon.

Congratulations to our winners:

1. Tom S.
2. Craig H.
3. Buzz S.
4. Gary G.

And now, without further adieu, the current points race:
