SHOWDOWN #8

Right now it looks like April 3rd, Friday night 7 pm at Rich Loeb's house is the choice over April 10th. Please continue with the input.

SHOWOWN #7

Showdown #7 took place at the Schutters on Saturday night. All the wives got together and hit the strip while Tom had his way at the felt. Tom pulled off the double dip winning both showdowns. In showdown #1 Tom beat out Wayne and in #2 he held off Me. I geuss it was good that most of the money stayed in the familt last night. Hand of the night had to go to Wayne with Quad 9's. The board had two pair and I had an ace. I felt I had a great shot to at least split the pot. Little did I know Wayne was had the carrot on a stick and won a big pot. The points picture got a little more crowded at the top with Tom's great night. One of the players in the 50's needed a great night while the top 3 stumbled. Well Tom came through as big as you can and Casey and Shane both went home penniless. Only Rich with his second place finish in #2 didn't completely fall. Quirk of the night happened TWICE. In #1 Casey went all in with a short stack just before the rebuy period hoping to either double up or rebuy 1500 chips. Only problem was that he went up against a player he had covered by a couple hundred chips. Casey lost and was severly short stacked and ultimately busted out first. This exact scenario happened again in #2. Casey put up a proposal to allow a rebuy under a certain amount of chips after the first 15 minutes. I think the idea is good but I also think we should finish out this year the way we've been doing it so far. Bring the proposals at our meeting in the off season for Showdown 3.
As for the next and last showdown, April 3rd is out due to the Baseball banquet and the CYO banquet. I would really love for all our members to make the last showdown. I'm putting up 2 dates. April 3rd ( Friday ) and April 10th ( Friday ) . Please let me know if you can make either or. The final table will be the first day we can find that everybody can attend even if it's only 2 weeks later. It's time o wrap it up.
I'll be posting points payout info and Overall Champion scenarious over the next few days so please stay tuned.
