Still pre-flop.

Purple Stickpin raised to $40.
Ponder folds on the button.
Father Luke folds from the SB.
Gerard K H calls from the BB.

Action on hoochmonkey9 - $20 to call.

Fold, call or re-raise?
 
It looks to be just myself and Gerard K H Love at this point. Since he called but did not raise (nor did anyone else), I cannot raise, so I call.

The Turn

I don't trust the dealer.

Why not?

Please note: I am doing this for real, with a new pack of Waddingtons 'Number 1' Linen Finish Playing Cards, which were very well shuffled and cut before dealing.

2 players. Pot now 270. Burning 1 card. Here's the turn card.

Ace%20of%20Diamonds.jpg

Ace of Diamonds.

Action on Gerard.

$20 min bet.

Fold, check or bet?

I'll call that $40.

BTW, Hank Solo, if you look at the Image Shack table, although you are physically dealing, the dealer chip is in front of Ponder. Methinks this is what he's getting at.

Well, he's on the button position wise. Fair enough.

2 Players. 350 in the Pot. Burning 1 card. Your River Card:

Ace of Spades.

(It's like watching the Cincinnati Kid!)

Action on Gerard.

 

Gerard K H Love

Appreciate your friends
The only thing I'll be paying the dealer for is to keep his mouth shut about what I really have. ;)
You have the dealer button. If you think the US$ dollar is weak try spending some fake US$s.:D
 
Button moved to seat 1.

New hand?

Absolutely, but a question: why not reveal Gerard's other card? I paid to see it; but is it a courtesy to him for not taking the hand? I know it's irrelevant since it didn't make a better hand for him, but so was my 6 of clubs. If people get to see what I bet on early with a 6 as a "kicker" or high card, why shouldn't we know what Gerard had as a full hand early on as well?

I mean it's not a big deal, and I'm only using Gerard as an example because we only have one hand to go on, but it seems strange...

Lastly, Gerard said he may not be available tonight. But delays here are inevitable. For example, I'll be in Alabama from Friday - Monday, with some, but not much, internet access.

Anywho, thanks, Hank Solo, for doing all of this. Is there a way we can bring it all on-line so you don't have to flip cards yourself and play instead?
