CNY Game V - 24th Jan

Smaller group tonight. Shark could not be found. PBA resting after his big meal the day before.
The croc, skunk, hyenna, whale and stingray kept the animals gathering alive but it was obvious that energy level was much lower this session...

Initial action was all skunk's way with a ROYAL FLUSH even on texas screwing the paus sitting on his hole and farting with the croc bitting away. Skunk was at one point up 3k...The stingray who arrived late was the usual silent swimmer waiting for the right hands to pounce.
Hyenna was in another land, perhaps thinking about his 4th kid or kuchai lama, we would never know...but manage to claw back almost 3/5ths of his losses from 2.7k down.

Announcing the winner of the 2012 Animals CNY POKER tournie (unless there are more games)

CNY Game IV - 23rd Jan

Aiyoyoyoyo...times are changing

The skunk continues to pollute the planet on land and in the sea.
The stingray suddenly comes from 4 withdrawals down and wins more than 1k.
And each year, the PBA hybrid brings us to his house and eats us whole.

The whale crashes with 9 withdrawals and returns all his winnings

Hyena and Shark both knocked out after busy days of looking after their little ones. side note: if you want papa lessons, have to learn from the master mr "i dont do diapers" pba and mr "i only won a little" skunk.

Pre CNY Game II - 21st Jan

6 animals banded together for a pre CNY fellowship at the Croc's palace!
We were welcomed by the mrs and a surprise guest who brought little miro along.
The palace is spanking new and its a lovely 4 bedroom apartment that was very tastefully decorated. loved the G.O.D. air circulator...Thanks to mrs croc to be for endless supply of unhealthy tidbits.

Back to the game: Early action was slow as most were rather cautious except for the skunk, who nonchalantly farted throughout the night. Whale took a big lead with almost 2.1k chips up but 2 hours later, he was left with around 700. Mr T also build up a big stack but the Hyenna who withdrew 3 times slowly stole our chips away.

The Croc seems to have better luck when the mrs aint around, so lets hope she joins us for more games. Or as they say, lucky in love, unlucky in gambling....

Venue: Croc's spanking new place
Withdrawals: 17 - Skunk (8), Teddy (3), Hyenna (3) Croc (2), Mr T (1)

Tally

Skunk -1715
Teddy -1200
Croc -620
Hyena + 730
Mr T +1260
Whale +1545
