Wednesday CASH - 2022.05

  Had yet ANOTHER fantastic weeknight cash game!

Welcome!

Ian, Lea Anne, Jerry, Colin, Kyle, Mike C, Allen R & yours truly gathered 'round to throw down - this time with No-Limit Hold-Em only.  A change of pace to be sure, an experiment by your host to see if the attendance numbers would change.  Here's the good news, they didn't at all.  We still had a full game and while people were fine sticking to NLHE, an informal poll at the end of the night revealed that a solid majority would've preferred a mix of games.

So we will likely go back to a mix for our next cash game session.   I've tried various formats to get the best attendance, but it seems no matter what I do, we end up with a full table every time - so even though the Evite isn't the overwhelming hoard of people wanting to play, like I get with tournaments - it ends up right where I want it to be with a full single table.   My favorite thing is always the dozen or so people who respond "no" when they get their 48 hour reminder, and the game is already full.  Ha ha.

But in any case, the game was still a blast.  We started throwing in random $2 bomb pots after 830 and everyone joined in.  

One player even brought a very special card protector...

Action was interesting, at times we had massive multi-way pots with coolers and collisions, but there was also a lot of limp fests pre-flop and simple check, check, bet, fold, fold easy peasy post-flop sequences.

Starting Stack

My stack about an hour in.

I finished up about $60 in the profit - after losing a hundred dollar pot to Lea Anne early on in a cooler situation.  

Lea Anne was the big winner I believe, cashing out up over $200 in profit.

A couple of others were felted and called it a night, a few others slightly down, even or slightly up.   As always, a way better ratio of profit in the cash game streets!  Always surprising to me how much more popular tournaments are when 3 out of 4 people walk away busted and only 3 out of 30 have a big payday relative to their buy-in.   Ah well.

Unfortunately, our next cash game likely won't be until June.   May only has 4 weeks in it, which means my Third Thursday tournament at the Moose would be jammed up against a Wed night PSP game - PLUS, the following Saturday (the 21st) is also our monthly Pepper Street event.   Personally I believe you can never have too much poker, but the boss (aka WIFE) has a different view.

So June 1st it is!  The Evite will go out shortly.  The following Wednesday, June 8, we will have a $60 single table NLHE tournament.  Those who come to cash on the 1st will get first priority on that invite.

Looking forward to seeing you all soon!
