I don't know what my girlfriend thinks when I watch the Poker Channel.

I thought you might've had trip jacks.

 

[Ponder]

And I thought you had a pair of Jacks, that seemed logical to me.

 

[Gerard K H Love]

Ponder was bluffing right out of the gate. 4 and 9.
The mother of all poker hands.

 

[hank solo]

Yippee... 1st from 50 (MTT) on PKR. Shame it was only play money this time :D

 

[Ponder]

Congrats!!!

 

[Father Luke]

Always nice to win.
Congrats . . .

I'm thinking we should start a bad beat list.

You know. . . just for moral support ;)

 

[hank solo]

Oh no, I've decided to not have any more bad beats. I find I don't enjoy them ;)

Check out this crazy hand...

See if you can guess what the 'winner' has in the hole.

 

[Father Luke]

Looks like the kind of crazy hand Ponder would risk,
and win with. ;)

 

[Carterofmars]

Three sixes is not a bad hand.

Sometimes nothing can be a cool hand.

[Ponder]

Sometimes nothing can be a cool hand.
