Texas Hold'em: Table 2

[Lucky]

Alright, so let's get this going shall we?

{table=head]Players|Chips|To Act
Alarra|294|
Timberwolf|290|
Kyrian|290|
Captain van der Decken|290|
Chunklets|290|
Lucky|298|Folded
Indurain|298|8 to call
[/table]

Pot: 50

Ante: 2
Small Blind: 4
Big Blind: 8

[Alarra]

Alarra notes delightedly that Lucky and Indy are at her table before throwing in her ante and inquiring if evnafets is actually dealing or if lucky is somehow planning to try play -and- deal, before realizing that Lucky has already answered her from across the room at the other table, whereupon she takes back her question and apologizes for not listening well.

[Indurain]

Indurain smiles across the table at Alarra, silently mouthing the word "ace", before throwing in his ante.

"Wait...we don't even have a dealer or know who's on the button..."

[Kyrian]

I'm also hoping we don't have cards, or else I'm calling a redeal on the fact that I don't have any.

[Alarra]

Alarra picks up her cards and looks over them at Indy with a raised eyebrow and is unable to stop herself from giggling.

[evnafets]

Greetings all, and a hearty welcome to the Casino in the Playground.
Assembled here tonight are characters from all over the world, come to test their skill at this most worthy of pastimes.
The stakes... well not much at all really, but maybe some bragging rights at the end.
Most important is to play fair, and have fun (This is SMBG after all)

Seeing as, our Leprachaun friend has kindly allocated the seating will you please take your places and we can begin.

With no further ado evnafets dextrously pulls a pack of cards out from his sleeve, triple ruffle shuffles, and sends cards flying in every direction which somehow manage to end up all face down in front of the correct players.

Alarra, Timberwolf you are submitting the small and big blinds respectively.

Play is around to Kyrian. Are you in? Raising? Or are you going to fold?
What ever you do, be careful of the cards with that burning arm of yours.
Minimum of 8 required to stay in.

Note: if anyone has NOT yet received a PM from me, kindly let me know and I'll resend it.

--------------------------------

Edit. Damnnit I knew there was a reason I wanted to start the thread. Well this is as high as I can come for maintaining a running score:

Current state: Captain van der Decken to play

[/table]

Pot: 150

The flop:
Ten of Clubs
King of Diamonds
Five of Hearts

The turn:
Seven of Spades

The River:
Eight of Hearts

[Lucky]

Lucky smiles as he looks at his cards.

"Alright Kyrian, just go all in and speed up the process, I'm going to take your money one way or another."

[Kyrian]

"I'll call."

Kal steals Kyrian's seat and takes a look at the cards.

[evnafets]

Right then. Captain van Der Decken, you're in the hotseat.
Are you in or out?

BTW: You don't have to wait for me to ask for a bid. If it's round to you, just post your bid. Silkenfist in the other thread mentioned that you may want to PM your bid in advance which is fine with me I guess, but not really necessary.
I'm mainly here just to deal out the cards.

[Timberwolf]

Timberwolf nods politely at Alarra and averts his eyes from Indurain, hoping against hope that the man brought his fig leaf.

[Captain van der Decken]

Mmm.. See you.

[Chunklets]

Chunklets adjusts the booster seat that allows him to see over the edge of the table, fiddles with the tassle of his lucky fez, and glares at his cards with a look of what Poker for Kobolds says is supposed to be "intense concentration."

"I'll call."

[Lucky]

"I'll let you battle this one out." Lucky says as he tosses in his cards.

[Indurain]

Indurain looks around at the others at the table.

"Keeping it low, eh? I guess I could stand to see a flop at that price then."

Indurain tosses his chips out into the pot.

"I call."

[Alarra]

Alarra glances at her cards again.

"Well....I suppose since I'm already in some..."
*throws in the rest needed to call*

[Timberwolf]

Timberwolf checks his cards, giggles at the kobold, scratches his nose and calls.

lets see this flop !

[evnafets]

EDIT: See my post above(#6, or post #1 for the current state)

A low stakes game eh? And you guys were calling for No Limit!
Very well. Lets see what you make of these.

The flop:
Ten of Clubs
King of Diamonds
Five of Hearts

Ummm - I think Alarra gets to start the bidding this round.

[Alarra]

Alarra considers the chips in front of her for a moment before tossing 20 into the middle of the table.

[Timberwolf]

Timberwolf looks at his cards, thinks about his success ratios of making a straight and says.....

"origami, I'm folding."

[Kyrian]

Kal tosses the cards down.

"I'm out."

[Captain van der Decken]

I'm folding.

[evnafets]

Right, Chunklets we're around to you, then Indurain, then Alarra again if necessary.

[Chunklets]

Chunklets checks his cards one more time, just to see if they've miraculously changed.

"I fold."

[Indurain]

Indurain looks over at Alarra and chuckles.

"I'm not letting you get away that easy sweetheart. I call."

Indurain tosses 20 chips into the pot.

[evnafets]

Looks like I'm a bad dealer. Noone likes the cards I gave them.
Oh well, lets see what you make of this one:

The turn: Seven of Spades

Alarra, you're first to bid again

[Alarra]

"A seven? How'd you know just what I needed?"

She winks at Indy. "Yeah....I knew it'd be you and me, baby....
I'll.....check. Cause it's fun to confuse you."

[Indurain]

"Confuse me? Checking has told me quite a lot actually. I never like to give my opponents a free card though. I bid 24."

Indurain tosses 24 chips into the pot.

[Alarra]

"Has it now?" Alarra raises an eyebrow and tosses 24 chips in.

[evnafets]

"A seven? How'd you know just what I needed?"
I am the dealer after all. You think you got those two aces by mistake?

Indurain - are you going to stay with Alarra on this one?
She raised an eyebrow, so you need to contribute one to stay in :smallbiggrin:.

Ok, bad jokes aside, I believe its time for another card
River:
Eight of Hearts

Final bidding round: Alarra to bid
The pot is currently 150

[Alarra]

"I'll check again."
She winks at Indy,"So what's it telling you now?"

[Indurain]

"It's telling me you have a hand. Now whether or not that hand is better than mine, I'm not sure...but there's really only one way to find out. I bet 40."

Indurain casually tosses 40 chips into the pot.

[Alarra]

"Go big or go home, eh?"
'Well....I think I lost this, but here goes nothing..."
Alarra tosses in 40 chips.

[Indurain]

"I like the way you work little lady." Indurain says smiling as he flips over his cards revealing the King of Spades, and the Eight of Spades. "Two Pair."

"Were you right?"

[Alarra]

"I certainly was. She smiles as she flips over her 9 of hearts and 10 of diamonds.
"But hey, they don't call it gambling for nothing."

[evnafets]

Indurain takes the pot!

Round 2!
PMs have been sent with your new hand.
The order has moved around. Timberwolf has the small blind, Kyrian the big
Captain Van Der Decken, you're in the hotseat.

[Captain van der Decken]

[evnafets]

Chunklets has PMed me he wishes to fold this round.

Play moves on to Lucky. Current bid is 10, you need to contribute 8 to stay in.

[Lucky]

"Meh, not interested thanks. I'll fold"

[Indurain]

"As shall I." Indurain says, tossing in his cards.

((And for the record evnafets. The bid is 8, not 10. The ante is not considered part of the bid, though it is part of the pot.))

[evnafets]

((And for the record evnafets. The bid is 8, not 10. The ante is not considered part of the bid, though it is part of the pot.))
Duly noted. Can you tell the dealer is a rookie at this (much as he is trying to fake it)

Alarra, you're in the hotseat.

[Alarra]

"I shall fold as well."

[Timberwolf]

call

Timberwolf grin manically

[Indurain]

Duly noted. Can you tell the dealer is a rookie at this (much as he is trying to fake it)

((No worries, Alarra and I are old hats at this. We'll hold your hand through the whole process. :smallwink: ))

[Indurain]

Betting is what makes this game fun
Unless you lose your shirt.
My hand was not good enough to stick around
Perhaps Kyrian has better luck.

[Lucky]

It's 24-hour auto fold right? Action moves on to Van der Decken?

[Captain van der Decken]

Well, if it does, I call.

[evnafets]

I guess its time for the flop then.

Flop:
Nine of Diamonds
Six of Diamonds
Eight of Clubs

Only two currently left in, Timberwolf and Captain van der Decken.
Timberwolf to play.

[Timberwolf]

*studies cards, bites tongue, swears, throws in 30 chips.*

[Captain van der Decken]

I'll call.

*throws in the chips*

[evnafets]

Turn: Queen of Hearts

Back to you Timberwolf.

[Timberwolf]

*throws in another 20.*

[Captain van der Decken]

I'll.. call.

[evnafets]

River: Ten of Hearts

[Timberwolf]

Throws in another 20

((if we lose do we have to show ?))

[Captain van der Decken]

I'll call again.

[Timberwolf]

I've so lost this.

Pair of 9's.

[Captain van der Decken]

Same. :biggrin:

(Am I remembering this right?)

Kicker is..


Ace of Diamonds.

[Timberwolf]

split pot then ?

This was so worth it !!

Edit

Damn it !!

[Silkenfist]

So it comes down to who of you has the high card. Reveal your second card, ladies.

[Silkenfist]

Clarification: If noone of you has a second card higher than eight OR you have the same number/picture, you split the pot. Otherwise, high card takes it.

[Timberwolf]

Oh I've admited defeat on that, don't you worry.

(it was a 3)

[evnafets]

And its time for the SHOWDOWN!

Common cards:
Nine of Diamonds
Six of Diamonds
Eight of Clubs
Queen of Hearts
Ten of Hearts

Timberwolf:
Three of Diamonds
Nine of Hearts

Captain van der Decken:
Ace of Diamonds
Nine of Clubs

You BOTH have a pair of nines.
Proceeding to the kicker, Captain van der Decken wins it Ace high!
To you goes a pot of 178!

On to the next hand!

[Timberwolf]

Even the flush I was kinda half hoping for wouldn't have worked I see. That's life.

Anyway, now I'm off the blind, I can stop feeling like I have an investment in the hand.

[evnafets]

Round3:

{table=head]Players|Chips|To Act
Kyrian|238|
Captain van der Decken|378| folded
Chunklets|246|
Lucky|294| folded
Indurain|432| folded

[/table]

Ante: 2
Small Blind: 4
Big Blind: 8

High bid:
Pot: 102

Flop:
Queen of Spades
Nine of Diamonds
Seven of Diamonds

[Chunklets]

Chunklets considers his cards, twiddles with his chips, knits an iguana sweater, hums to himself, stares at the ceiling, and finally makes a decision.

I'll call the 8, and raise 32 on top of that, for a total bet of 40.

[Lucky]

Still not very interesting really.

Fold.

[Kyrian]

Now that's not cool....wasn't on all weekend and didn't even know it was my turn...

Edit: after checking my PM...WHY IS MY SMALL BLIND 6??

[evnafets]

The 6 taken off your credit consists of an Ante(2) plus small blind (4)
Sorry you were auto-folded, but thems the rules.
Sometimes I might send a reminder, othertimes not.

[Kyrian]

Oh....stupid ante...*shakes fist at Ante*

[Indurain]

"Fold" Indurain says throwing his cards in disgust.

[Alarra]

"Yeah....me too"

Alarra throws in her cards as well.

[Timberwolf]

Absolutely.

I fold.

[Kyrian]

I'll call.

[evnafets]

Right, Captain Van Der Decken to call (and optionally raise)

[Captain van der Decken]

Fold. I'm gonna be away for ~2 days.

[evnafets]

Ok, the flop:
Queen of Spades
Nine of Diamonds
Seven of Diamonds

Kyrian, Chunklets - its between you two.

[Kyrian]

Umm..well, whose turn is it?

[evnafets]

Kyrian to play (taking the order from the table at the top)

[Kyrian]

Some games do rotate who goes first after cards are turned, so you might want to let people know who's turn it is after a flop.

Bet 25

[Chunklets]

Hmm, ponder ponder... I'll make the call.

[evnafets]

We are rotating the dealer every round.
I don't know about rotating the starting bidder within a round.
I'll have to think on that one.

Anyways, we turn:Six of Clubs

Kyrian: Bet? Stay? Fold?

[Alarra]

I'm pretty sure you never rotate the starting bidder within the round. I mean, starting bidder is different before flop to after because of the blinds, but that's not really changing who starts.

[Kyrian]

I'll check.

[Chunklets]

Chunklets taps a claw on the table.

"Likewise - I check. Bring on the river!"

[evnafets]

The River
Five of Hearts

Kyrian: Bet, Stay, Fold?

[Kyrian]

check again.

[Chunklets]

"Yeah, I'll check this one as well, but not with any great sense of optimism."

Chunklets flips over the King of Diamonds and the Ace of Spades.

"Behold my majestic Ace High! Whaddya got?"

[Kyrian]

Kal flips Ace of Hearts and King of Clubs. "So now what?"

[Chunklets]

"I believe, my friend, that we split this one. Should be 76 to each of us, unless I'm mistaken." {Double-checks to make sure nobody's got a flush}

[evnafets]

Yup. Cards are the same, you split the pot.
76 each it is (thanks for that - almost made a mistake)

New round. You should already have your PMs

Hey... I recognize this hand...

Yeah, it's just as crappy as it was last time I got it. Fold.

[Indurain]

"Crappy you say? Mine may be too, but I think I'll stick around for a flop at least. I call."

Indurain tosses his 8 chips into the pot.

[Alarra]

Alarra winks. "Me and you again baby? .... Well .... may this turn out better than the last."
She tosses in her 8 chips.

[evnafets]

[Timberwolf]

call

Timberwolf feels that now is his time, etc etc.

[Kyrian]

"I'm folding." Kal tosses the cards in.

[evnafets]

Ok, considering Captain Van Der Decken's message that he won't be here for a couple of days, I have auto-folded him.
If you're still around Captain, please feel free to post your bet here anyway.

Chunklets: are you happy with the bid, or do you want to raise?

[Chunklets]

Chunklets peeks at his cards and taps the table.

"I shall check. Let's see that there flop!"

[evnafets]

Ok, the flop:

Ace of Diamonds
Six of Diamonds
Nine of Diamonds

Chunklets, you're up

[Chunklets]

Tap, tap on the table. "I'll check."

[Captain van der Decken]

*returns*

'Kay, I'll be in for next round.

[Indurain]

Indurain looks at his cards again.

"Okay...that's what I thought. 32."

Indurain tosses 32 chips into the pot.

[Alarra]

"What? I'd have to get both those cards....not bloody likely."

Alarra tosses in her cards.

[Timberwolf]

call

*throws in 32*

[Chunklets]

"32, eh? Not interested, not with these cards, anyway..."

Chunklets folds his hand.

[evnafets]

Okay, we turn:
Three of Hearts

Indurain: Bet/Stay/Fold?

[Indurain]

Indurain looks over at Timber. "You're still here? Alright...let's see what you have to say. I check."

[Timberwolf]

*knock knock*

Yep, still here, still in this.

[evnafets]

River: Ace of Clubs

[evnafets]

(Rescuing from page 2)
Indurain, Bet/Stay/Fold?

[Timberwolf]

Timberwolf fiddles with his chips, puts some salt on them and eats one.

He then looks at his pile of table stakes

[Indurain]

"A pair of aces on the board, eh? What are the odds you have an ace Wolfie?" Indurain pauses momentarily.

"I check to the hungry one."

[Timberwolf]

Oh the odds are prettty good.

Unfortunately not good enough.

In an act of ultimate lameness and cowardice, I check and show my 2 pair, aces and 9s.

[Indurain]

Indurain flips over his cards.

"Aces and Nines as well, with a 10 kicker."

[evnafets]

At the showdown:
Timberwolf: Six of Clubs, Nine of Hearts
Indurain: Ten of Diamonds, Nine of Spades

Indurain wins on the Kicker (10 Diamonds)
Pot of 114 goes to Indurain.

Ok, ante up everybody, we're starting a new round.

"I'll call."

Pot of 342 goes to Kyrian.

[Chunklets]

"Even at that price, I'm going to say 'No, thank you.' I fold."

Chunklets tosses his cards away.

[Lucky]

"Looks like it's around to me,

Hmmm... Time to make up some ground. I'll raise 60."

[Kyrian]

"Back to me? I'm in." Kal tosses in 60.

[evnafets]

Captain Van Der Decken: Are you in for 60?

[Lucky]

"Looks like an auto-fold to me.

Bring on the flop!" Lucky says as he smiles across the table at Kyrian.

[evnafets]

Very well, the flop:
Flop:
Five of Diamonds
Queen of Spades
Eight of Diamonds

Betting starts with Lucky again

[Lucky]

"Bah, going to have to do better than to scare me off this hand.

I'll say... 60 again? That good Kyrian? Or should I go lower?

Hmmm... 60 it is."

*throws in 60 chips*

[Kyrian]

*throws in 120*

[Alarra]

Alarra watches the proceedings with interest, quite glad she got out of this one. "Well this is certainly turning into an expensive pot."

[Lucky]

"I underestimated you Kyrian." Lucky says as he turns over his hand of seven-deuce. "Nothing, worst kind of nothing, I got impatient. Money's yours."

((Fold))

[Kyrian]

Kyrian nods to Lucky. You held on well. He lays his cards face down.

((And I kindly ask evnafets not to reveal what my hand was. Leaves mystery of whether I may or may not have been bluffing))

[Lucky]

"Last time I show you any courtesy..." Lucky says as Kyrain hides his hand.

[Kyrian]

Sorry Lucky, maybe next time. Kyrian winks.

[Timberwolf]

My word what a truly awesome hand.

Absolutely fear inspiring

Unfortunately in the wrong person. Origami again

[evnafets]

I think I need to find a new card dealing program.
Nobody likes the cards they are getting :-(

Kyrian: Whats your take on the matter?

[Kyrian]

My take is I'd already PMed you that I fold.

[evnafets]

Argh so you did.
I need to wake up. I am seriously too tired today.

I'm pretty sure Captain Van Der Decken hasn't PMed me a fold command yet.
So Captain?

[Captain van der Decken]

I'll call.

[Chunklets]

"Tempted, tempted... Nah, I'm out." * Chunklets tosses away his cards *

[evnafets]

Ok, play is aruond to Lucky

[Lucky]

"Wow, looks like I'm short-stacked now and I have no one to blame but myself, only one thing to do...

I raise 20."

[Indurain]

Indurain checks his cards and wrinkles his brow.

"Hrmmm..." He ponders.

After a long moment of pause, he tosses 20 chips into the pot.

"I call."

[Captain van der Decken]

I see you.

[evnafets]

The flop:
Ten of Clubs
Six of Hearts
Four of Spades

Lucky: Bet / Stay / fold?

[Lucky]

"I'll check"

[Indurain]

Indurain looks over at Lucky and raises an eyebrow. His head swivels around to face the Captain whom he offers a wry smile to.

"Bet 40." He says, tossing 40 chips into the pot, never taking his eyes of Captain Van Der Beek.

[Captain van der Decken]

Hah.

I see you.

[Lucky]

"Works every time..."

"See you, and re-raise you 60.

Have a nice day."

[Timberwolf]

*drum roll*

[Indurain]

"Well little Green one, I'm 62.3% sure you're bluffing. But so am I. I fold."

Indurain tosses his cards into the muck.

[evnafets]

Captain Van Der Decken.

Do you also thing Lucky is bluffing?
It will cost you 60 to stay in this game

[Captain van der Decken]

Well then.

I'm in.

[Lucky]

"Good thing one of you doesn't run, bring on the turn!"

[evnafets]

Turn: Ace of Diamonds

[Lucky]

"Action's on me?

Uh... I bet... 30? Yeah, 30."

*throws in 30*

[evnafets]

Yeah it was you. Sorry, I've been a little distracted by the Pirates game today. Sadly all persuasions fell on deaf ears. I'm not actually sure anyone but you and Vespe were there to hear it.

Back to Captain Van Der Decken.

[Captain van der Decken]

Yeah, I'm still in.

[evnafets]

Ok,
The river:
Four of Hearts

Final betting round.
Lucky, you're up again

[Lucky]

"Hmmmmm...

Let's try this one...

All in."

[Alarra]

And things are really starting to heat up over at this table, John. The audience is on the edge of their seats....'Will the captain call?' It's all in and someone could be going home.

[Indurain]

"It's definately a bold move Vince. With those community cards, Lucky could have just about anything, including nothing. If only our WPT pocket cam hadn't broken, we'd be able to whisper about all the things that the captain could do."

[Captain van der Decken]

*raises eyebrows*

I'm still in.

[Timberwolf]

Arrrrr !!

Sic 'em Cap'n !

[Alarra]

And that was an easy call by the captain, but then, he has more than double the chips of our little leprechaun. Will his luck run out or did he just double his money? Stay tuned when we return.

[Lucky]

"Hmmmm... You must really have had something, but here goes..."

*flips over Ace-King*

"Pair of Aces"

[Alarra]

A pair of aces....not terrible, but there are a lot of combinations out there that could send the leprechaun home John. Was the captain riding out a hopeful bluff or does he have the hand to back up his continued calling? Either way, this certainly was an exciting hand.

[Indurain]

"Certainly Vince. Right down to the finish. With Lucky riding a semi-bluff right down to the line and it paid off. That little leprochaun escapes. This is certainly going to cripple the captain now."

[Alarra]

And the crowd goes wild as the leprechaun doubles up! Let's bring on the next hand!

[evnafets]

Table cards:
Ten of Clubs
Six of Hearts
Four of Spades
Ace of Diamonds
Four of Hearts

Lucky:
King of Hearts
Ace of Clubs
Best hand: 2 pairs (Aces & Fours, King kicker)

Silence reigns around the table as everyone waits to see what Captain Van Der Decken has been calling Lucky on his time. Lucky, true to his name, has had an Ace up his sleeve, and is sitting on two pairs, with king for kicker. But all the captain needs is one four, or maybe a pair of sixes, and he will have 3 of a kind.
Lets see as the captain turns over his cards...

Captain van der Decken:
Six of Spades
Nine of Spades

Its a six and a nine.
Best hand: 2 pairs (sixes and fours, Ace Kicker)
Not a bad hand as it goes, but not in the same league as Lucky's.
The pot of 402 chips goes to... Lucky!


edit: argh - tried deleting and reposting to get Indurains post in the correct sequence, only to get simued by Alarra. Some days you just can't win ;-)

[Captain van der Decken]

Sonofacrap!

And I just PM'd Alarra saying I expected something bad to happen.

Ah well, them's the brakes.

[Alarra]

Alarra smiles reassuringly across the table to the captain, "Hey...on the bright side, at least you could cover his bet. You could have been going home."

[Chunklets]

* Chunklets leans back in his chair * "Well, that was certainly exciting! I was sweating bullets, and I wasn't even involved in the hand! Wait a minute - reptiles don't sweat. Oh well, you know what I mean..."

[Captain van der Decken]

*sighs*

Thanks, Alarra, and well done Lucky.

[Indurain]

Um...evnafets...I don't have a hand.

[Kyrian]

evnafets, I've seen you posting in other threads, are you going to pay attention to the apparent problem in ours?

[evnafets]

No, I'm going to completely ignore this one and hope it goes away

Ante: 2

Pot: 76

Flop:
Nine of Hearts
Seven of Clubs
King of Hearts

Turn:
Six of Diamonds

[Kyrian]

Alarra has been sent a new hand.

Wait what??

[Lucky]

Wait what??I was sent her first hand.

[evnafets]

There was another reason to discard Alarra's original hand. The clumsy dealer flipped the cards up and someone else caught a glimpse of them
(read: When copy pasting into private messages make sure you copy the new NAME as well as the hand of cards)

In the interests of less work for me (not having to send another 7 messages) I just took the next two cards in the deck, and used them as a hand for Alarra.

What? I was under pressure at the time of sending those PMs.
Hopefully all issues are sorted out and the hand continues.

Ok, the dealer is back, and thinks he is awake and relatively sane. On with the show folks

Timberwolf called.
Kyrian folds?

On to the next player.
That would be Captain Van Der Decken

[Indurain]

((If that means that two cards were discarded and one of the players saw them, we should all be notified of what they were since that changes the odds of us hitting our hand.))

[Timberwolf]

Why don't we redeal ?

[Captain van der Decken]

I guess so. I call, anyway.

[Chunklets]

"Well, in any case, I'm folding."

Chunklets flips away his cards.

[evnafets]

((If that means that two cards were discarded and one of the players saw them, we should all be notified of what they were since that changes the odds of us hitting our hand.))

Fair enough.
Alarras original hand that was sent to Lucky by mistake:
Five of Spades
Three of Diamonds
The new hand that I sent to Alarra to replace the one everyone saw
Ha! Made you look.

Sorry, but I'm getting a little snowed under with work right now, so I can't devote full time to SMBG right now.

[Lucky]

"Yeah, I'm not too up for this. Fold."

[Indurain]

"Just the rest of the blind to see a flop you say? Why not...I'm in."

Indurain tosses in 4 more chips.

[Alarra]

And...I will check, I suppose.

(And also...Evie...you totally freaked me out for the second there when I thought you had actually posted my new hand. :smalltongue:)

[evnafets]

Ok, the Flop:
Nine of Hearts
Seven of Clubs
King of Hearts

Betting starts with Indurain

[Indurain]

Indurain knocks on the table.

"Check."

[Death, your friend the Reaper]

Indurain knocks on the table.

"Check."

*Death quickly comes in dressed in a uniform with the words "the Checkers Association of Tables."*

Alright folks, no need to worry.

*Death quickly has a look at the table*

Defiantly redoak, with some hints of yew, some unidentified obje-no, thats bubblegum. No signs of tampering at all. Nothing wrong with it.

*Death leaves the bill for his table checking with Indy, after giving him a stern warning of not wasting valuable government time. *

[Alarra]

Alarra laughs at Death before deciding that checking sounds good for her as well.

[Timberwolf]

Arrrrr !! I be checking

Oh wait, this isn't the High seas thread.

*Aims a broadside at Indurain on principle*

[evnafets]

What you don't trust Death's examination of the table?
You both want additional checks?

Captain Van Der Decken, its up to you. Do we have another check, or are you going to throw some money on the table?

[Captain van der Decken]

Hah. Alright.. I'll raise.. 10.

[Timberwolf]

((I hate it when the last person raises, now we have to go round again))

[evnafets]

Which makes it Indurain again

[Indurain]

"It indeed wastes a bit more time, and for a measly bet of 10...I'll call."

[Alarra]

Alarra considers her cards for a moment, "10? Eh...I suppose" and tosses in the chips.

[Timberwolf]

I call
Throws in his chips

[evnafets]

Sorry, I'm falling behind the play again.

We turn:
Six of Diamonds

Play passes to Indurain to start the betting again

[Indurain]

Indurian checks his hole cards, lifting up each one individually.

"I'll bet 30."

[Alarra]

"Too rich for my blood" Alarra chucks in her cards.

[Timberwolf]

I'll fold too

[evnafets]

Oh Captain, my captain.
It will cost you 30 to stay in.

[Indurain]

Is that a fold Captain?

[evnafets]

I'm pretty sure we're well past the 24 hour response time.
Captain Van Der Decken auto folds.

That leaves Indurain and .... noone.

Indurain gets the pot of 76. And doesn't even have to show anyone his petty hand.

On to the next round!

Right, we've been round the table once, and everyone is still in.
So its time to raise the stakes - at least a little.
Ante is going up to 5
Big blind: 10
Small blind: 5

Round 7:
{table=head]Players|Chips|To Act
Alarra|153| fold
Timberwolf|127| 100 to call
Kyrian|420| check
Captain van der Decken|165| fold
Chunklets|162| Bet 100
Lucky|395| fold
Indurain|493| fold [/table]

Ante: 5
Small Blind: 5
Big Blind: 10

High bid: 100
Pot: 185

Flop:
Queen of Spades
Nine of Clubs
King of Spades



Everyone folds except Pingcode. Pot of 185 to Pingcode

[Indurain]

Who you callin' petty?

[evnafets]

Like I said. Petty. That pair of aces wasn't taking you anywhere was it?

Hey, be thankful I don't call you pretty ;-)

[Indurain]

But...but...I am pretty.

[Captain van der Decken]

I..


Goddammit.

*shakes head*

[Indurain]

Kyrian....ever watch things that go BUMP in the night?

[Lucky]

Doesn't matter anymore, he's auto-folded.
Captain!

[Kyrian]

Sorry, on spring break, and bad wireless.

So unless Lucky seems to be the one to call my play, I'm calling.

[Captain van der Decken]

Me? I call.



Instead of auto-folding, could you just call me, unless someone bets more than 20?

[evnafets]

I'll let this one slide Kyrian.

Moving right around to Chunklets.

[Chunklets]

Chunklets tosses 10 chips into the middle. "I'll make the call."

[evnafets]

Ok. Lucky, then Indurain

[Lucky]

"Not interested thanks, I'll fold."

[Indurain]

((Sorry, been DMing all day.))

"I'm going to fold like origami."

[Alarra]

"Only 5 more? Yeah...I suppose I can swing that."
*tosses in 5 chips*

[Timberwolf]

*wakes up with a start* uh, me ?? I call, check whatever to get to the flop

[Captain van der Decken]

I call.

[evnafets]

Right then, the flop:

Flop:
Queen of Spades
Nine of Clubs
King of Spades


We start at the head of the table with Alarra. Bet / Stay / Fold ?

[Timberwolf]

((Sorry, been DMing all day.))

"I'm going to fold like origami."

((That's my damn line !!))

[Alarra]

I'll check.

[evnafets]

Who's afraid of the Timberwolf?
Can he even make it to the table do you think?

[Timberwolf]

Sorry guys, life happened.

Check.

[evnafets]

Ok. Kyrian then

[Kyrian]

Check it is.

[evnafets]

Captain Van Der Deckend has informed me he wishes to fold.
Chunklets is in the hotseat next

[Chunklets]

"So, it's checked down to me, has it? Well, let's have a bit of fun. I bet 100."

* Chunklets pushes 100 chips into the middle, after testing one of them to see if it's edible. It's not. *


(((Evnafets, could you check the pot total in the table at the top of this page? I think it should be 85 before my bet, rather than 55.)))

[Alarra]

"100? No..I don't think I can swing that."
Alarra folds.

[evnafets]

Chunklets: yeah, I sometimes forget to update the pot if I'm in a rush

Timberwolf - it'll cost you 100 to stay in.

[Timberwolf]

Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

All yours.

Fold

[evnafets]

Chunklets, you get the pot: 185
Most of it is your money anyway...

New round starting. Expect a PM with your new hand soon

Call, like the PM said... :P
