Something for the Noobs

OST 1: Busting Out

You're kidding me, right? An FNG wins our first game of the season. This certainly sets the tone for some of our supposedly seasoned league veterans.

Last night was a tremendous start to what we're hoping will be another great year of Bad Beats play. With all but one league player in attendance, it's safe to assume that we've dropped a lot of the more casual league players from the past couple seasons and that we'll average much better numbers for OSTs. We could see record points set for whomever ends up being the regular season points champion, so buckle up.

In the money last night:

1. Double D - $280
2. Marneus - $140
3. Giggitty - $70
4. Swag - $40

Our next game will be on Tuesday, February 17. Also, the Hall of Fame has now been updated (so quit your bitchin Devil Down).

One last point of business. Congratulations to Hirp for eclipsing his point total from all of Season 4 just one game into this season. He's a lock to win it all this year.

Just trying to figure out if I'm the donkey or not. Playing at Harrah's, under the gun, raise the pot to 10 with A Q off. One caller (thought about it, middle position, seemed to play very few hands). Flop is A A 3, rainbow. I bet $22 into a $23 pot and got called. Blank on the turn, throw in my remaining $75 (into a $45 pot), get called by pocket treys. How crappy was that play (I had played very few hands myself to that point)?
