Like the song goes…it’s been awhile.

The boys have been playing still, maybe not as regular as before, but certainly a lot more regular than me.

It’s been even longer since I’ve done any writing though.

Why?

Not sure. Haven’t been inspired I guess. I’m sure not playing has a ton to do with it.

Been working a lot of nights and too many of them have been on game night, and well I’ve had to prioritize a bunch of trips instead of playing too, but I don’t regret those at all.

All that being said I’m back.

Happened to have the night off and after a 3 hour session of rolling Jiu Jitsu I was up for a fight of another kind.

Pulled up to the dock and walked the gang plank onto the Captain’s ship, was suprised to see only Woody in attendance so far with the Captain already there in the familiar seat with chips all ready to go.

In walks the Rapper, Alejandro, Ace and to everyone surprise English Bob and JT.

English Bob comes in with a keg of vodka and proceeds to pour a nice breakfast cocktail for himself and JT, the Rapper passes as he is still finishing off a monster glass of vodka and rockstar still.

The game is hectic to say the least, it starts off fairly mild mannered and tight with standard raises and re raises, a little big of chasing here and there, but it seems the game is in fact being played on a very slippery slope and that slope is lubricated by vodka.

I’d like to say that I can recall all the great hands, but I was one of the people who was on the vodka train that night and can’t seem to remember much more than the Rapper getting the best of Alejandro a few times, first with AK vs. KQ on a K high flop, next with AJ on an AJXQJ flush slop, and another time much later in the night with the Rapper on tilt after Woody hits a three outer against him on an all in hand an the Rapper cracks Alejandro’s Aces when he flops an open ended straight draw and shoves over Alejandro’s raise and manages to hit his card.

All in all a really fun night with lots of laughs and stacks and stacks of chips moving around the table. Pretty sure that Ace was the big winner for the night and English Bob left a bit lighter than he arrived.

Good times. Good times.
