For
this months home game we welcomed another new player to the game, Richard Yeeles,
who had been trying for a few months to get to the game and at last managed it.  Richard
I thought at one point that we were all too much for our newbie as he decided that
after being knocked out of the second game, he wouldn’t stay for the last game  .
Considering that he got knocked out of the first game with AA in the hole and the
second game with KK in the hole, I’m not surprised.
I reminded him of the delicious Chinese that he would be missing out on  and
if he changed his mind he could always come back for the last game which would start
in about 2 hours. He said he would ring if he changed his mind and wanted to come
back. Within the hour he was on the  asking
that I reserve his place in the last game. These newbies just can’t keep away  .
Earlier on in the day there were a few memorable hands, one of which involved Sheriff
and Dazza (known to the regulars as big rivals in this home game ).
Sheriff was on the SB and Dazza was on the BB and it had been passed around to the
Sheriff on the SB. He makes it 300 to play and Dazza calls instantly. The hand ended
with a straight on board (45678). It was checked on the flop and the turn and when
the river was dealt, Sheriff made a 1000 chip bet and Dazza just laughed and called
the 1000 chip bet. Sheriff turns over A9 and Dazza rolls his eyes and mucks his hand
stating “nice hand m8”. The table erupts as Sheriff rakes in the chips  .
At about 8pm I went to get the Chinese (I really gotta find a good one that delivers!)
and we didn’t take long to scoff the lot so that the second game could get back underway
with its last 5 players. It seemed to go on forever and at last at about 9.45pm the
last game started.
For some reason, Buzz and Sheriff decided that the last game was missing something
and started singing songs from the movie Dirty Dancing. "She's Like The Wind" and
"I've Had The Time Of My Life", amongst MANY others, could be heard for miles  .
If that wasn’t enough, everyone else at our table started to join in. Then, becoming
bored, Buzz started doing Scooby Doo impressions. He’s actually very good at them  .
The flatulence levels from the boys increased as game three progressed. The poor  s
were running for cover and being blamed for the stench as they ran and hid.
By the end of the day I was happy that I had done enough practicing of putting my
cards on the 'fake glass' so that the 'fake under the table cameras' could see what
I had. It was suggested that I do this so that when I am being filmed at the end of
the month for Channel 4 I will remember to do it EVERY time. The fake voice of Jesse
May in the background rang out: “What’s Ali got, she’s got the nutz!!” The magnetic
letters on the fridge spelled out “TVs Awesome Ali coming soon to channel four”. Thanks
for that Jonty. As if I’m not nervous enough   .
I can’t let this report end without mentioning the fantastic juggling skills of The
Sheriff. How is it, that a grown man can pour himself a full glass of diet coke and
by the time he has walked to the other side of the kitchen it’s all over the wooden
kitchen floor AND most of the carpet in the living room??? Tell me – HOW?!?!?!
I wouldn't change you lot for the world tho  .
