It has been a record breaking year at Pepper Street for number of cash games that have been played! This was the seventeenth time this year that we sat down and threw down in the 1:1 money for chips streets! Plus there’s also been a few tournaments that ended with unofficial cash games as well! That’s a heck of a lot of gambool!
The Evite said that we would have 14 players, but because of a date change (I think) a couple of players didn’t make it. Probably unaware that the game had been moved. Yeah, lets go with that.
The 12 players that did show up were Jeff G, Babs, MC, Lea Anne, Colin and yours truly at table 1. Stuver, Jason, Jeff S, Ian, Rich and Priya over at table 2.
Not always the easiest thing for every player, even the ones who have been playing these games for a few years now. As is typical, there were a handful of players who saw their chips vanish after a couple of hours or got tired and either way called it a night. We formed up into a single table of eight players at about 11 PM and played for another good 90 minutes.
When the dust finally settled and it was time for nighty night, Barbara and Stuver were the evenings big winners with decent three figure profits. Yours truly also did well, falling just shy of a $200 profit.
For those players whose heads were spinning over the different games and how they work, fear not, we will once again return to the Cadillac of poker in our next cash game session, Texas No-Limit Hold-Em only (but with occasional Bomb Pots and the Nit Game of course) very likely two weeks from now.
Also don’t forget, our last tournament of the year will be on Saturday, December 9. It’s NLHE but with a twist, bomb pots will be thrown in periodically to make things extra festive at the most festive time of the year.
Also also, the following weekend after that will be our second annual Hall of Fame Legacy invitational tournament. A massive dealers choice event with almost all the same crazy games we play in cash games - in a tournament format! Should be another super talkative day. There will be a giant trophy for the winner as well as a chance to lock up a TOC seat.
Not everyone is invited, the legacy event is for legacy players of course, plus this year we are also including anyone who is in contention for a top 10 POY spot, rewarding the players who have been regulars in 2023.
So that’s still a lot of poker to be played this year, very much looking forward to it! Until then, peace and we out!
