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.

The whale crashes with 9 withdrawals and returns all his winnings

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

Game 6: Final CNY Game

Ok, the animals and family met up during the day. Kudos to Hyena for his non stop energizer battery lion dance troupe and rendition of "Hello Friends" by Baby Hyena no 1. How the papas manage to be alert at night baffles the non fathers..

At night, the alpha males congregated and lock horns over their final game of poker. The ferocious land animals and their hybrids whacked the skunk and Mr J hard...pushing them around like flies.

Poker Swings were large. We increased our buy in to 500 worth of chips so there were less buy ins but i guess we were all too tired to play after so many days on the go. Next year we play every alternate day perhaps.

PBA really looked like that on the table.

Stats for the day:

Datenite- 5th Feb, midnite to 4:30am at the holy grail of poker.
Withdrawals at 500 - Skunk (2) Hyena (2) Mr J(1) Whale (1) PBA (1) Skunk (1)
Side entertainment -
Skunk continues to Fart every 4 minutes. Neighbour Mr J has to breathe through his shirt as though he is an Iranian woman.
Our feeble attempt to diet by eating Fillet o fish n drinking diet coke, as though the fries and 20 nuggets dont count hahahaha..
Trash talk about Whale and having a tattoo on his weewee
Teddy Bear hallucinates the last 30 minutes of the game and doesnt even go with Ace pair.

PnL:
Skunk - 1500
Mr j - 680
Whale - Evens
TeddyBear +80
Hyena +115
Croc +785
PBA +1200

SO THATs IT for CNY 2011. WITH HYENA AWAY, 
I GUESS THERE WILL BE LESS POKER......

Game 5: Somethings Never Change

A strange night in terms of poker playing. There was quorum and we sat playing in Mr J's home. There was FHM with naked women and 2 of the wifeys were nearby keeping an eye on the action.

The Shark was on a mission. They say a wounded animal is the most dangerous and that was the case as the Shark had hands that cleaned us all out. At one stage, Sharky was more than 2k up....but as usual, his merciful self return some money as he retired for the night.

So with the chip leader gone, all the animals were trying to chase back their winnings and we played so looose that almost every other hand had all in moments. There were in total 22 withdrawals, so there was loads of moolah on the table..

The sea animals came out tops as they adapted most to the flood situations ala Australia and south Malaysia....

Before: How it looked like...

After: Argguuummpp......

 

The Whale wishes every poker day was like this.

Stats for the day:

Datenite- 4th Feb, midnite to 4:00am
Biggest bet- there was a 205 all in that 5 people went in that Mr T and PBA split somehow..

PnL:

Skunk -1735
Mr J -810
Mr T -730
PBA -600
Hyena +140
Shark +1500
Whale +2255

Whale Koed from the late nites but the Skunk, Shark, Croc, Hyena, Mr T (which animal ar?) and PBA took the games by its horns. .Hyena laughs his way to the bank

Unhappy Skunk will be out for revenge...

Game 3: Merlion Outfarts the Animals

Game on. 
The Skunk came in farting,
Hyena came in confident from 2 days of straight wins
Croc rejuvenated from his rest and tons of food,
Whale was every hungry for food,
Merlion had a flu and needed to pang sai every other game.

Game was full of action but after the Mcdees, i think everyones energy level was falling a little...
Big Swings from the Skunk and Croc who were riding hot early and the Whale who escaped the Merlion's destruction of land animals at the very end...

Stats for the day:

Datenite- 2nd Feb, midnite to 4:30am
Biggest bet-  too many to recall. Skunk fainted the Croc with one big hand with a fullhouse.
Croc managed to survive and hang on. Merlion or was it the Skunk who took the biggest game of the nite with almost 1400 in the pot. most bets started with a 50 ante cos the Hyena was adventurous.
Withdrawals - Hyena (5) Whale (3) Shark (2) Skunk (1)
Side entertainment - Skunk and Merlion's farting competition - we were filled with the aroma the whole nite, Merlion thinking of eating his fillet-o-fish in the bathroom. Merlion's undefeated poker and no withdrawals a single time over the 2 series.

PnL:

Hyena -850
Croc -330
Skunk - 215
Whale +345
Merlion+1050

SO TIRED but STILL WANNA PLAY worr.....

*The Shark got the flu, PitBullApe was too tired from his travels, Teddy Bear left to meet papa/mama bears...

Game 2: Miracle Escape by The Teddy Bear.

another late start. Teddy's 2 bears are growing nicely into 2 very pleasant ladies. Perhaps it was distraction of the 20 nuggets + Double Prosperity Burger that Teddy ate but he withdrew 5 times in a very short space. And at the end, still managed to stand tall.

Shark came late and got bamboozled by the Merlion each time he shuffled...you never see the Merlion who according to the Hyena "is very lucky this year" win but he was way ahead until the last pot.

Missing animals were: Croc had chicks to eat and Skunk had to work tomorrow.

Stats for the day:

Datenite: 1st Feb, midnite to 4am
Biggest bet -  Last game of the nite, Teddy Bear won around 1.1k on the last pot with Ace high flush beating an all in Shark and a "I have tubs" Merlion
Withdrawals - Shark (6) Teddy (5) Hyena (1)
Side entertainment - Merlion's farting, Mcdonalds and how Shark tries to double deal each time...

PnL:

Shark - 2100
Teddy +140
Merlion +520
Hyena +680
Whale +760

POKER OLYMPICS have officially started........

And the Games Begin

only 4 animals made it for the hunt. planned for 1030pm but didnt begin till midnight. i guess winter and hibernation does that. even the hyena overslept. perhaps it was the tiredness of chasing the younger hyenas the whole day.....but once the animals were warmed up, action was sizzling....

Stats for the day:

Datenite: 29th Jan, midnite.
Biggest bet - 205 from Skunk all in. Pot of bergazillion won by Croc.
Withdrawals - Skunk (8), Croc (2), Hyena (1)

Game 7 - Last for CNY?

The animal kingdom was given a somber reminder during poker that we were no longer youthful, testosterone charged, healthy and energetic 24 year old animals. Each one of our bodies was slowly breaking down due to the many late nites of poker, excessive eating (including 2am Mcdees supper runs) and over exuberance at tennis. I guess, even animals must rest. Pity......was good to be 24....

The poker show did go on albeit on a quieter mood. A few big hands and absolutely fun with the PitBullApe pulling of some very profitable scares which caught the whale out many many times. Shark played under the radar and the skunk's fart was not as potent as before. Hyena happily lost his measly sum to come up top of the charts for CNY and the croc, well...the croc was busy msning his loved one so as the saying goes...."ching cheong tak yi, dou cheong sat yi"
