Ashland Invitational Poker Club

Tuesdays, at least the ones without rain, are a thing again. Watch for invitations to outdoor social time from 6:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m.

It was a gathering of fewer than ten people in a disinfected room with lots of soap and sanitizer, but it did take place. A guest accepted a seat as a last minute sixth player (see note), and she was the big winner (pre-adjustment) at twelve up. Her cards were incredible again and again, which left two regulars in double digits down: the Killer, who collected the three dollar D; and the Dude, who trophied. (Note: Adjustments were required to the "Our Guest" stats in order to bring in a new regular and his stats accurately. The new regular was nine dollars up in earned wins this year, which required this week's guest be recorded at a loss rather than the twelve up she actually finished. Everything else on the chart follows from the adjustment, which should set things in order for the year. More details about the new regular will follow.)

Toilet paper and Purelle? Stock up on Guinness and Irish Whiskey.

It was a tight night with tight music from the Motor City. The big winner, Raygun, was seven up; the big loser, Our Guest, was seven down. The host won the one dollar Derelict pot, not enough to change his second place finish. Those in attendance witnessed the weirdest game of Red River yet.

The field narrows, and leaders emerge. There were two winners, only one, the Nemesis, in double digits. The only double digit loser was Speed, who took home Mr. T. Not even quad aces and a two dollar derelict pot could bring the evening's host to a positive finish on the night.
