Friday Cash - 2023.01

The threat of rain loomed over the garage around back on a foreboding Friday the 13th as evening approached. But that didn’t stop no less than 13 degenerate gamblers from showing up anyways to partake in the first all-cash game evening of 2023 at Pepper Street!

We had two tables going almost from the start, at first it was six and six and then six and seven.


Table one, in the foreground, was all mix games - including Badugi and SOHE (Simultaneous Omaha and Hold-‘Em). In the background, table two just partook in the Cadillac of poker, aka no limit hold ‘em.

Both tables had lots of action and lots of fun. Yours truly chipped down a little bit and then climbed back up. All night I really didn’t have any monster pots to speak of, but there was a giant hand at my table, a three-way all in featuring AK, QQ and AA.  Believe it or not, the bullets held up!





We played for almost four hours before a few folks got tired and racked up. Then it was back to a single table of Mix Games and more hilarity ensued.




As you can see I was a little bit above my buy-in amount, but just after midnight when the game broke I was up over $100 in profit. A nice little win to book after 3 days of not cashing in poker tournaments in Vegas.

I have to say, we have had some super super fun nights playing just cash at Pepper Street over the last year, but last night was really something special. For whatever reason the chemistry was just right, and there was so much laughter and boisterous shenanigans. We really had the best crowd of the very best people. Mike C, Barbara, Lea Anne, Art, Priya, Alan R, Jeff S, Jeff G, Stuver, Jason, Colin, Ian and myself really were the funnest bunch of poker playing fools ever!

We are doing a tournament next Saturday at a slightly different time, 5:30 PM, and it’s now $60 also. Read this post to find out why the time change and the price increase.

The following week on Friday night we are having our first NL Hold-Em only cash game in a while at 7:30 PM. Buy-In is $40-$120, and there will be a single dollar blind instead of quarters. 

Can’t wait to see you all again on the felt soon, until then, peace and we out!
