Once again, the time was right for a gathering of gamblers - 10 enthusiastic degenerates convened around the big blue table, in the garage around back, to throw down in the Hold-Em streets of low stakes big fun cash game poker!

A bevy of extra curricular activities added to the festivities.  Boisterous bomb-pots, a nifty Nit Game, sexy straddles and more!

It was all the usual suspects, plus a groovy new guy who played in his first live cash game ever!  Mr. Joshua, brought by Mr. Jeff G. who also happened to be Josh's dad.  Great to have you on board sir!

All the accouterments ready to go!

Allen R., Art, M.C., Ian, Wiz, Lea Anne, Colin and yours truly rounded out the rest.  Action was big right from the get go.  The second or third hand had someone open to $6 over one limper, and there were 6 callers!  My kind of game!

Your humble host found himself up quite a bit early after a rather large multi-way pot.  One nice thing about playing the same game for 3 hours, there's no explaining of the rules (there always is in Mix games, even with people who've literally been playing the same games for years) and no slowing down of the action at all.  It really is a great change of pace!

As always, we took a short break at 1030.  The Nit Game was at 930 and as per usual, was a lot of fun - unfortunately one player took it on the chin and lost his third buy-in at the end of the NG - so he had to skedaddle and have the house cover for him to pay out the bounties.  All good, I know where this guy lives!   A couple of other players left at around the break - being down to dust or crumbs - but we continued on into the night, now with PLO added to the mix.

Alas, one of these departing folks was the new cash game player Joshua - but he didn't really do anything wrong, save for maybe one hand. He just found himself on the cold side of the deck more than a few times.  I hope he doesn't get discouraged, you played well sir!

Yours truly got tangled up in two big pots that went the wrong way (for me) and I found myself at half of the $200 profit that I had been sitting on.  Fortunately I grinded most of it back over the remaining hours and finished up almost that much in the green.

The other big wieners were Mr. M.C., with $400 in front of him at the end of the night (at well after midnight I believe) and the inimitable Mr. Art who had a good amount more than $400 in chips to cash out when he was finished.  Nicely done fellas!

A huge thanks to everyone who came out and made it a great time as always - y'all really are the best!

Our next event is next Saturday, it's Tournament time!  It's March (the 1st of March to be precise) so that means Omaha Eight or Better!  Always a favorite in the garage out back.  The Evite is already out so be sure to let me know if you didn't get it for some reason.   

As per usual we will be playing mixed cash before the tourney, starting at 1 and going to 430.   An Evite for that will go out soon.  I don't have everyone on that list, so if you're not getting the invites and you have a hankering to play cash, be sure to let me know you want in!

Until then, peace and we out!
