This will be a fairly short post, but wanted all the readers out there to know that I am still alive and playing poker occasionally. I screwed up and got a real job that has been hampering my time to go and play.
About the Creek Nation Okemah weekly Hold 'em tournaments: They are now Wednesday Nights at 6:00pm and Sunday afternoons (1st one around noon I think). I played in a couple and finished 6th in one when my set of 6's got beat on the river with a set of queens. Finished 7th in the other as my pocket queens got bad-beat by QJ off-suit that made a straight on the river. By the way, they paid through 5th place. So close yet so far from the money. The bad deal about Okemah is that they only have 6 tables and usually have 70+ in the tournament. I have sat at opening tables with 14 and 12 people at them respectively, the two times that I have played. The entry fees both days are now $25.00 plus a $5.00 dealer appreciation fee. I won't be playing Wednesday nights as my real job isn't over until 6:00pm and I have to be back at 6:00am, but maybe I will see some of you on Sundays.
Still playing darts weekly at Bartolina's. Checking the stats on the tournaments over the last year, we played 50 times and I was on the winning team 39 times. 78% isn't to shabby of a win percentage when your partner can be anyone that signs up. If you come and play (Tuesday nights at 7:30), you better be good enough to carry your partner or hope that you draw me or one of the other few good darts players who happen to be playing that night. It's just $3.00 to play darts and the bar chips in a dollar for everyone who plays. 75% is split between the winning team and 25% goes to the 2nd place team. AND BEER IS ONLY $1.50 ALL NIGHT LONG! For those of you who don't know Bartolina's is about 4 miles north of Henryetta on highway 75, east side of the road.
Well this post turned out a little longer than I had planned, but check back, me and a couple other guys are planning a home game to be held soon. $100.00 buy-in, no re-buys, 20 player limit, winner takes all. I will get back to you soon with some contact info. Later!
