The hand of the night is from the first level with the blinds at 25 / 50 I have Q♠️J♠️ in the big blind .

We have the normal 6 limpers in the pot so I decide to thin out the field with this very pretty hand.

I raise it to 600 , a 12x raise and I get 4 callers 😱 .

The flop is K♣️4♣️10♦️ , I flop an open ender so I'm happy to c bet to 1600 and I get 1 caller  , my nemesis " Sit N Go " Joe .

Boom 💣 !!!! I turn the nuts , A❤️ and I'm thinking is Joe chasing a flush ????

So I bet big 4600 a near pot size bet to chase him away , but it doesnt work Joe calls , so now I'm thinking Joe has a big hand so I want a blank on the river please dealer .

The dealer obliges with an 8♥️ and I think Joe has at least 2 pair and I belive he will call so again I bet a pot size bet of 10,000 and Joe calls ??? he has pocket Kings 😱😱😱 the trapper got trapped .

Joe should change the name to " Slow Play Joe ".

That was a nice big pair Joe

Its very fustrating in the Orchard that again we have a good pool of players with 2 tables of 15 players and again there are some faces that show up the odd time and I'm sure one of these nights all the regs will show up and it will be a full house of 3 to 4 tables .

Its early days back with the blog so leave a comment below if you have any comments or ideas I can use .

I hope to do some player profiles and interdouce to you some of of the characters that play in the game.

Time to bring back the Blog !!!!!!

Ok Guys guess whos back ??? Yes Damos back .
Well I never went away lol , I dropped the blog when the Poker night in the Manor Inn finished up and I switched from running games to just playing and educating some of the local fishies in the Orchard Pubs Monday night game .
Monday night Poker in the Orchard is very well run by Robert Mate and Paul Clemenson .
