Gutshot poker trip, London, Tuesday 18th

[bvark]

Hi Folks,

We're going to the Gutshot poker club's beginners night next Tuesday. It's in Clerkenwell in London (Old Street or Farringdon tube).

Buy-in is only a fiver but there are unlimited rebuys in the first hour so expect to spend 10-15 depending on how loose you're feeling and how lucky you are.

It's a great fun night out if you have some holdem skills, but you need to be there before about 7pm to guarantee you'll be able to buy-in. I've played through to 11.30 before where there were 20 or so people left, but most folks are out earlier :-)

[Bootz]

I'll be there.

[Cabe]

oh why the hell not, count me in dammit.

[bvark]

Excellent, a good turnout.

I should point out that although it's a beginners night, you will be expected to know your poker etiquette, and be able to shuffle and deal (including burning cards) to a 9 person table with reasonable proficiency.

[Dan]

Bvark, Is this a semiregular thing, or is it a once off?

[bvark]

Every week when I'm in London, but there's no reason I need to be there ;-)

Gutshot runs games every night of the week, check the website for details.

[Dan]

It's nice when you're there with people you know :)

[Renegade]

I would love to join in but sadly poker is the only major card game I dont know how to play

[Bootz]

come, watch and learn :)

[Cabe]

I'm intending to, I know how to play, I'm well, **** at it :)

PS anyone with crash space?

[Bootz]

I have sleep space in Woking. Leaving for work earlyish the next morning.

[Ekim]

Was a good night, look forward to doing it again sometime in the near future!

[Pumpkin]

Aye, that was a good night, and something to be repeated :)

Thanks to Phil, Mike and Lisa for providing the company, and no thanks to the damn dealer giving me crap :)

[her0n]

so, how much did you all lose? :)

[Bootz]

£20.

I had 3 rebuys, but after the break the gameplay was tighter and had some good hands.

I enjoyed going out with pocket queens against pocket kings.

Great fun. Well worth it.

[Ekim]

£10 for me, not including train fares and the such like.

[Strych]

Apologies for being ill and useless. I shall definately be joining you chaps and chapesses next time. On pain of death. I promise.

[bvark]

Waxed 15 myself - Pumpkin and I were ground down (me after a couple of bad calls) by some superior players who were not afraid to put some serious cash (30quid+) behind multiway pots on marginal hands, and as a consequence got lucky.

Lisa's hand was the favourite of the night:
66 with three runners, KJ6 the flop. Lisa goes all in, both call. JJ and KK from the other callers, the turn is a 6. Sort of hand that can get you shot :-)

Another good night, although the performance of my lucky hat left a lot to be desired :(

[Dan]

I shall definately be joining you chaps and chapesses next time. On pain of death. I promise.

Yus, me too :>
