Welcome Back, Kotter

Merati/Jalali night at the School. SPC est. 1984 June 17, 2010 - ALM had cards all night. Bested the new college graduate Andrew Jalali in the heads-up portion in one hand. Andy J had A-middling kicker. ALM in the Big Blind had 2-4. Flop comes 3-Q-5, all mixed suits. Andy made bets the big blind. ALM has a outside straight draw and a moderate chip lead. ALM calls, Turn comes up "A", which is not good news ultimately for Andy J. He bets and ALM pushes all-in, Andy J calls and is drawing dead. One hand heads up.

Nice pot, 13 players. Welcome Brad, Tanya M, Mara, Andy S....and welcome back a charter member of SPC est 1984 - Joel Dimaano.

Dear Diary, it is now March 5th...the first poker post of games that count is LATE and I can't say I'm too worried. By the way, for only 8K we can have a 10 player table with the little cameras built in. In all seriousness, I'd like to get an automatic shuffler for the table. Perhaps we'll use a future kitty for that.

We played 2 times officially (3 times total), once on Thursday January 28th at Chez Merati. We had a full table (although I can't remember who the f*** was there 'cos I'm doing this so late.

NOBODY FUCKS WITH DE JESUS

One time, two times, when will the streak end? Bill and I came out of our table relatively strong, only to move to the "final table" (OK there were only 2 to start with) into a monster stack in Mike Harris. I think the reality is that we just don't know shit about poker.

1. Mike Harris

2. Bill Sandell - faced a monster stack, came back, took the lead, and then slipped back into second. Nice battle between Bill & Mike H.

3. Al

It was a great turnout, even my imaginary childhood friend Allen showed up. He was in 3rd at our table after about 20 minutes. He went to Ralph's for some half & half and never came back.

Next up: the drama of the final (likely) game of the year....Although David's 47th birthday is December 31st...and he'd like a game, it may not come together (5 is an official game for points)....

Our next game is Saturday December 26th at the American School of English. This should determine the winner....as long as the Behroozinator shows up, it is looking like his....unless there is another game 12/31. Second place gets these Big Lebowski action figures.

McL'Chaim!

What a week it was! Jason and Alana were married on Saturday Oc

tober 17th here in Seattle. Ok, that seems pretty important but when you realize that Phil was in town from Milwaukee and took the home team for a ride on the Hoan Bridge all the way to the bank, you know something special was afoot. Once again, the local yokels were clobbered by a new player. Man, do we just not know shit?

In any event, it was our biggest pot ever, much of it going to a gift to the bridal couple.....

1. Milwaukee Phil

2. Mani

3. Jason (the groom)

In attendance: Phil, Mani, Jason, Joseph, Mike S, Treebeard, Igor, Bill, David, Al, Russ (CAN YOU BELIEVE IT!), and the Behroozinator
