I couldn't get there in time. I'll try next time.

[MannyIsGod]

Good time tonight! Thanks a whole of a lot to Pete and his wife Laura for being great hosts! I bubbled out in 5th just out of the money, but I was very happy with my play tonight.

[GINNNNNNNNNNNNOBILI]

Yeah, Thanks alot 2cent and family, everything was great... I hope Kori puts my chips to good use and takes 1st.

I did.

[Kori Ellis]

Big thanks to Pete and Laura (and the rest of their family) for being so gracious. It was a lot of fun.

And thanks to everyone else who showed up.

[GINNNNNNNNNNNNOBILI]

I did.

Nice.... you steam rolled through me, manny, and my cousin. who finished 2nd 3rd and 4th?

1st - Me
2nd - Chelsea
3rd - Zak
4th - Mrs. Hero

Yes, three out of four of the finalists were female.

[Kori Ellis]

Chelsea and I were pretty close in chips going into the finals (I think I may have been barely ahead). I took her out in about 15 minutes.

[GINNNNNNNNNNNNOBILI]

1st - Me
2nd - Chelsea
3rd - Zak
4th - Mrs. Hero

Yes, three out of four of the finalists were female.

And Zak was playing for the 2nd time ever

[timvp]

I finished a respectable 10th.

Damn you GINNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNOBILI for getting that straight when I had trips.

[Kori Ellis]

And Zak was playing for the 2nd time ever

So was Mrs. Hero.

Yeah it was just an off night for me. I had meant to go get a pair of basketball shoes with better grip but I didn't and that threw my mindset off. Plus on that one hand before the river I had a Jack 9 split, but didn't play because I didn't think the outs would put me in - turns out I missed out on some vital chips that could have put me over the top in a later hand which would have enabled me to win more later and better offset the gender demographic inequality. Plus that and the fact that poker is all politics. It's all politics. I wasn't going to win that game if I had a royal flush everytime. Just too much politics. No excuses though, good win Kori.

Good game, Kris.

haha, you should have bet out after the turn, you let me see the river for free, and it came back and bit ya

[Kori Ellis]

I have to say that the female gender dominance was pretty impressive. 15 out of the initial 20 players were male. But 3 of the 4 final players were female.

So, are you guys scared of girls or what?

I have no problems losing to girls, guys, dogs, racoons, or whoever else. I can't help it if the racoon gets pocket A's and I get a 4 and a 6. So to answer your question, yes I am scared. Now that I think about it, I think girls are harder to read and play smarter than guys.

[MannyIsGod]

The 2 hands that sealed it for me where the 2 pair I lost to Kori on the river, and the flopped set that Chelsea played well. She should have come over the top on my call of Matthew, though. She probably would have gotten my whole stack.

[MannyIsGod]

Kori is the hardest person to play against sometimes. She plays hands sometimes () but she plays them so freaknig fearless you never can be sure.

[timvp]

Kori is turning into a poker phenom. That is like $350 in less than two weeks that she's pulled in for the Ellis Family.

We're good.

Tonight I didn't really play hands. I actually folded a lot more than I normally do. But I'm not someone that can be bullied out of a hand. So when someone puts down 2200 before the flop just to see who is going to hang -- there's no way I'm not going to call. Even if I have a 2, 4 offsuit.

I don't know if I play "fearless" but I do know that I "act" the same no matter what cards I have.

[TheTruth]

thanks pete and family for being great hosts...it was a blast.

i'd also like to thank pete's mother for totally dominating me on the final table. at least it wasn't manny.

[JoeChalupa]

Big Zak in da house!!!!

I've got to learn to play Texas Hold 'em so I can get in on the fun.

[MannyIsGod]

Pete's family was awesome. His mom was throwing down cards like no other and his dad was roaming around like the casino boss.

[Ginofan]

Thanks for having us Pete, I had a super good time! Your family is awesome to take care of all of us like they did, thank you so much.

[scott]

So... just so I have this straight... Kori is holding my money?
