Stockton Massive - G Casino

We"ve played as a group, at Rileys in Stockton for quite a while now. Two years at least and the stalwarts of the game like TC, Sti, Gary "Big Balls" Palmer, "Ace-rag" Motson, Bri "Fossil" Harland  and Fiddy McGowan have rarely missed more than a week at a time. Lucy plays often these days too and all of them were sending me good luck both directly and indirectly last weekend. So last night I moved the game to G at Stockton, booked dealers and bought a couple of rounds of drinks to say thanks for their support.

11 of us sat down and it wasn"t long before I was glad we"d changed the rules a while ago to make it a 1 re-entry tournament...

A raise  8d 9h from utg 6 handed got a call from Anth in the big blind.
Flop  9d 3s 3h
Anth checks and I bet
Anth calls
Turn  10c
Anth checks, I bet, Anth raises
I ship, Anth covers me, but not by much
Anth calls
Readers of a nervous disposition should maybe stop reading now...

and turns over  3c 6d

No 9 on the river and I cry "CHIPS PLEASE"

My second stack survived till just after the break when a newcomer to the game for this week raised UTG  and I decided that KJo was a decent hand to shove with over his raise
He insta-called with AK and the board ran out with an A and a 10 by the turn, at which point the dealer (a new zero hours lad with not a lot of experience) forgot to burn and turned over the Q to give me broadway. We pointed out the error and I called for another Q to no avail.

First out in my celebratory tournament
very much a case of "after the Lord Mayor"s Show"

leaving them to sort themselves out on the Final Table I ventured down to the mighty .25/.50 cash game and managed to get three streets of value from QQ from a guy holding JJ and a full £80 stack from someone holding 79 on a 789 flop when I had 88 - the 7 on the turn was a bonus, chips were in by then.
I even had a "RakeFree" voucher to use for the night - #irunsogood
Gave a bit back but not too much and ended up about £85 on a 2 hr session.

In other, non-poker news, it seems that the finest legal minds have concluded that the guy who was found locked into a holdall was probably killed and put there by someone else. Right! They thought maybe it was a very committed suicide?
