I have decided to have a separate page for the POY Points. Look to the top of the page next to Home and you will see POY Standings. Click on that and you will go to the page. At any time you can click Home and go back to the main page.

Also I will keep the top five listed on the left side of the page.

Fun games but surprisingly few players. Hopefully as the weather turns there will be bigger turnouts and hopefully some of our favorite players return.

It's good to see Keith climbing the points board. It's about time.

Congratulations to Keith for finally getting on the points board. It's ironic that it took so long. He has some work ahead of him to catch the point leaders.

Bi-Weekly Game Oct.22nd, Results

2010-10-23T10:55:00.000-04:00

Game One 7 Players

Dismal showing at our game last night. Only seven players (out of a mailing list of over forty!). The first game was brutal with Steve Stepp calling my Aces (top pair) with K 7 off and catching a seven to win my all in. Keith wasn't able to catch a break all night losing with the better hand.

2nd Steve Stepp $20

During the break we (me, the bubble boy and Keith) made a pizza run to Village Pizza in LaGrange and it was piping hot and hit the spot. By the time we got back the game was over.

Game Two 5 Players

With only five players we decided to raise the entry fee to $20.

Player of the Year Rules and Numbers

2010-10-19T21:05:00.000-04:00

I spoke to Keith last night and he suggested a couple rules about POY points. For a game like Scott Chislers' to count for POY points we have to have at least five members of our group attend and they have to be at least 50% of the players.

The battle of the bracelet night meets both of those criteria so those games count. So we go back to the original POY points. Here they are:

Since the creation of this website we have had six games. One point is given for every dollar earned. So far these are the results:

Todd Smith 180 2 Cashes**
UPS Randy 140 4 Cashes

Oct 22nd, Upcoming Game Details

2010-10-18T21:44:00.000-04:00

We will be playing on Friday Oct. 22nd at my house in downtown LaGrange. The game will start promptly at 7pm. I will have food and drink so I"d appreciate letting me know if you think you can make it.

If you need the address email me or Keith.

Player of the Year Revised

2010-10-12T23:11:00.003-04:00

I spoke to Keith today and he doesn't think we should count Scott Chislers' games in our points. We should only have our games count. That makes sense.

Without Scott's Battle for the Bracelet night the results with four games played are:

UPS Randy 100 3 Cashes
Matt Davis 80 1 Cash
Matt Kocsis 70 1 Cash
Ryan Ksenich 70 1 Cash
Scott Nardi 30 1 Cash

Bi-Weekly Game Oct. 8th, Results

2010-10-09T15:51:00.000-04:00

Game One 14 players

Good turn out with fourteen players.

The first hand I got pocket sevens and bet out with only Kate calling. I know that whenever Kate calls I'm in trouble. I got a seven on the flop but still wasn't comfortable against Kate. I got the last seven to give me quads on the river getting some chips off Kate. I know against Kate I need quads or better to get chips.

At the other table Matt was getting cards and raking in chips. Kevin was new to me and it was hard to get a read on him. Matt played very well and took first place. Congratulations Matt Davis.

2nd Kevin Chisler $30

Bubble Scott Chisler

Game Two 10 Players

The second game had ten players so we decided to have one table. To do that we had to add the circular table to the end of the long table. This essentially was the kiddie table. Keith, Matt and Chad were at that table so it seemed appropriate.

Having ten players was different with Kelly going out before dealing twice. I was playing well but the river was very good to me and I placed first

Battle for the Bracelet: The Game

2010-10-03T12:27:00.006-04:00

The Warm Up Game

$10 Buy-In

13 Players

The game was held in Scott Chisler's garage and slated to start at 7pm. The game started promptly at 7:30 and the theme of the night was hitting the river with one-outers.

I was knocked out early when I thought I could push Kim out with my pocket sevens with a possible straight on the board. She saw through me and took me out with her pocket queens.

Steve Stepp (AKA Scuba Steve, Scott) was on fire and took first place.

1st Steve Stepp $80

2nd Matt Davis $40

3rd Scott Nardi $10

Bubble Ron Fechner

The Battle For The Bracelet

$20 Buy-In + $2 to pay for bracelet

14 Players

This was a brutal game. The theme continued with the river hitting one outers and miracle cards.

The blinds went up quickly and once we got down to six chips were just passed back and forth with no one going out. It wasn't until the blinds were crazy, around 3000/6000 that players were eliminated. The game was going on forever.

Finally at 5,000/10,000 the perfect storm hit. Keith pushed all-in with AJ, Todd went all-in with AK and I did the same with pocket tens. We had no choice as the blinds were soon to go 10,000/20,000. The flop and turn hit no one. Todd rivered a King and Keith was knocked out on the bubble and putting me in third.

Todd had a commanding chip stack but equalized when a miracle river card came to give Henry a straight. The game went back and forth for a while but with the blinds being so big, Todd's aggression won it.

The game seemed to go on forever as it finished at 2:15am.

Congratulations to Todd for the first ever bracelet winner.

1st Todd $160

Friday Game (9/24/2010)

2010-09-24T20:34:00.004-04:00

Friday night bi-weekly game was held at Ryan and Kelly's. The results are:

Game One
1. Matt Kocsis = $70
2. Scott Nardi = $30
3. Randy Patterson = $20
.
Game Two
1. Ryan Ksenich = $70

It was a fun night of poker. Keith couldn't get any traction and Scuba Steve wasn't hitting either. Congratulations to Matt Kocsis. It's been a while and you deserve the win. Congratulations to Ryan even though he sucked out against me with a river King, well played.

After the game Ron, Keith, Chad and UPS Randy went to IHOP for some breakfast. Good times were had by all.
