Monday 16th March, winner "Jimmy Hopkins"
The seasons they are a changin. The sky's were angry last night my friends, the rain came down and lightning struck from all around, and so did Jimmy Hopkins with with his stack of chips as high as a lightning rod.
First to go last night was young Will, he was taken to Chinatown by Jimmy's lightning rod of pocket 9's. This is unfortunate for Will, as the 3 weeks we've been doing this blog, Will has had to cook twice. I'm putting forward that maybe Matty and Willy should pay $15ea to play as one person. Not only would this guarantee a fantastic meal cooked every Monday BBQ, but maybe the boys could get together and be more competitive. It's just a thought.
Next to go was Pommy James, Pommy was taken down by Marky's Pocket Queens. Pommy was playing his trademark moves last night, but was caught out a few times, then fell to the floor like a bleeding piece of haggis, while Marky sat nonchalantly in the corner puffing blindly on a Marlboro light.
I bled chips last night like a stuck pig ready to be spit roasted at a Fijian Hangi festival. I played shit, shit, shit! I'm not even Jaded. I had the fine pleasure of being taken from the game by "Chef" Pease. I went all-in on AJ, one of my least favourite hands, with the "Chef" calling on a K7 suited. Low and behold BY TROJANS THUNDER! A bloody King came out and Matty was blessed with my chips.
Peter was next to leave the table, losing to "The Chef". Matty beat Peter hitting a 7. I have no idea how this happened as I was out of the game at this stage and my interest had faded dramatically, Willy was cooking. I just rang Marky and he said Peter pretty much had 0 chips left. The point is, Peter is finally on the board with a 1 pointer.
After this Marky took the Chef to dinner, smashing him with trip Jacks. This is Matty's highest ranking at the table to date, tidy work on the 2 points Matty. Marky just sat in the corner puffing blindly on a Marlboro light, whilst laughing like a maimed hyena, pegged down by a Tutsi tribeswoman's spear.
Heads up came down to Mark and Jimmy "lightning bolt" Hopkins. Jimmy played some great poker last night. He accumulated chips the whole night and never really looked like being in any trouble. While on the other hand, Marky pitched and rolled with chips like a stricken oil freighter off the coast of Moreton Island. The final Hand come down to AK, with Jimmy "Lord of Thunder and all things electricky" taking Mark out for a damn good roasting. Tidy work boys.
And let's not forget our Chef for the evening, Mr Waegeman. Thank you Whilly for cooking up the Snags, Chicken wings and the marinated steaks provided by the duo that is Beck and Peter.

Monday 9th March, winner "Will Waegeman"
Poker at Chateau de Peter & Beck was a cool and rainy affair last night as cyclone Hamish makes his way down the coast. The weather bureau has downgraded Tropical Cyclone Hamish off Queensland to a category 3 storm but says gale force winds and rough seas are intensifying on the state's southern coast. I'm John's Schluter and next we talk to a dog owner who lost his treasured pet in a horrifying abseiling accident.
Within 15minutes of play last night Pommy James had lost the majority of his stack to Marky with a river card 10, I believe? The very next hand I claimed half of Marky's stack with trip A's over Marky's 2pair. The cool conditions were clearly making short work of Mark's judgments, and it wasn't until he popped the collar on his t-shirt, he felt normal again.
First to leave the table last night was young Peter, the cards just seemed to have the better of him. His bluffs were called and it was "Chef Peter". Next to go was Jimmy Hopkins, one of the biggest shocks of the evening, he got done on a river card straight to Pommy James, ouch bruz!
Then it was Beck and Matty, both of whom bled most of their chips through the blinds which seemed to go up pretty quick last night and they both had some unfortunate losses.
And just out of the bubble last night was a 1 Mr Benny Hall who lost on an all in x 3 which included Marky and Pommy James. The winner of that stoush was Pommy who took all of Ben's stack and most of Marky's. After that, I believe Willy took Mark out, then it was down to 3. Willy and myself at that stage had similar stacks and Pommy was the clear leader, AGAIN! But after a few re-raises on Will's part against Pommy, all of a sudden Will was really dominating until Pommy went all-in.......Pommy was no more. Then it was just down to myself and Willy.............Ok look, Will won. He got great hands, I didn't have a chance, bastard.
This weeks BBQ cooker was one Mr. Peter Tamblyn. Peter, tidy work on the Snags and Lamb ringoles and Thanks to Chef Matty for supplying the food. And Peter. Thanks for coming last.

Monday 2nd March, winner "Pommy James"
Well ladies and gentlemen, a strange evening of poker was had last night by all. Except for one man, and one woman, James (pommy) Harley and Beck (the hook) Bourke.
Pommy has been quiet the last few weeks but really turned on his evil powers of domination and showed rather large balls last night. While playing hands his textbook hands like J,2 and "the Hammer" 7,2. And winning. While the rest of the table tussled between the rest of the cash, Pommy picked players off like a sniper brandishing a rifle with homing bullets.
On a lighter note, the lady at the table almost had her first win last night, Beck gave Pommy quiet the shake-up early in heads up but couldn't take the number one spot. Unfortunately for Beck if she keeps getting better we'll have to kick her off the table as we can't have a girl beating us every week. ;)) Onya Beck.
Third and Fourth were Jimmy Hopkins and Bell Hall respectively, but who cares.
What we do care about is that this weeks BBQ cooker was one Mr. Will Waegeman. Whilly, tidy work on the Kanga Bangers and the Parma Ringoles. And thanks for coming last.

The Table
Mark Guarrera current points:(13): Also known as the Guru of Wine, Marhey Gayeahyeah (ABS) Advanced Beardy Solutions, or at the table, Modest Marky, for his ability to fire off a damaging assortment of sledges after winning a big pot to the loser (see Tony G circa: 06-08). Marky has had a pretty good starting season with some high placing’s and consistent poker strategy. But I believe he had a go at the BBQ early in the new year which is always a good laugh.
Will Waegeman current points:(11): Also known as “I like bourbon, a lot”, “I’m really drunk but you can’t tell because I look like this all the time”, “Would you like to wee in my bed”? And Whilly! Will is known for his sometimes remarkable comebacks at the poker table, one minute the guy will almost be out of cash, the next he’s using $100 notes as a straw for his bourbon and coke. Will is renowned at the poker table for screaming a blunt “fold” at a check raise. He has had a reasonable year but his game has been a little like a prostitute at a 21st. Up. And down. I believe he has also had a hit on the BBQ in the past few weeks.
Ben Hall current points:(6): Also known as “I wear a tea towel for a t-shirt”, Rex Hunts little bruz, “Can we check to the river”? “I’ll have just one more sausage” and that never forgetful of nights he bought his dog harry to the poker table to play with Peter’s dog ted. Nuff Said. Ben is either very, very lucky at the poker table, or very unlucky at the poker table. In saying that, I cannot remember the last time the guy had to cook the BBQ. Ben loves a good plane crash, but is rarely the first to leave the table.
James Harley current points:(13): Also known as “Pommy James”, “I like to gamble”, “I love a punt”, “did you put anything on that”? “Anyone up for a slippery $20”, “All in”, “hang on Luke, I just want to put a bet on” and “I lost Blackjack again?”. Pommy is renowned for having a punt, be it at the table, or anywhere in general. James is known for going all in on hands like, 7,2 off suit, 9,3 off suit, J,2 off suit and winning. Pommy is also known for going all in on hands like, 7,2 off suit, 9,3 off suit, J,2 off suit and losing, just as much. Probably the most aggressive player at the table, Pommy has balls, maybe not as big as Keithy’s, but they’re there just the same.
Peter Tamblyn current points:(7): Also known as “Raise, 300”, “that was Tamblynesque”, “What’s a good name for a beer/wine”? “Doin’ the diamonds!”, “TED!” and “Teter Pamblyn”. Peter is most recently renowned on the table for losing from an unlosable position, which proves that poker isn’t always about the strategy, sometimes it’s just about the cards. Pete would have to be one of the best bluffers at the table. At times he scares me at how Tamblynesque he actually is. Other times I want just to punch his dog in the face.
James Hopkins current points:(9): Also known as the Suit at a table of bogans, “Marky, its your go”, “blinds are up”, “Peter folds, he’s not here”, “Beck folds, she’s not here”, “Does anyone have a spare peg”? and “Jimmy”. Jimmy is most renowned at the table for keeping everything running ever so smoothly, he controls the blinds and he smokes his cigarettes attached to a peg. Some would ask why? I ask why not? I commend any man that can smoke a cigarette at a table of manly men, and not be affronted by the fact he’s punching a dart through a peg. Fucking good on you JIMMY! Jimmy’s poker strategy can sometimes be transparent, other times he makes you regret raising. Jimmy is one of the more consistent boys on the table and I haven’t seen the man cook for a good while.
Luke Hansell current points:(7) Also known as “Good thanks, yourself?”, “yes bruz!” “Jack seven”, "deluxe85" and “is Ted here?”. Luke is one of the newest permanent members of the table. His game has taken a journey from… er… well, the beginning, to no longer folding pocket Q’s before the flop. Luke doesn’t play many hands and he introduced the whole table to BBQ tuff wipes. Luke likes to sit in the same seat every week and often drinks Carlton midstrength when everyone else’s beers are finished.
Beck Bourke current points:(9): Also so known as "The Hook". She'll keep you honest, if Beck's playing she's almost always got the best hand.
She's also known for flashing her cards to Pete with a nonchalant stare that says, "oh yes, I have rockets". Beck is a fairly
new arrival at the table, she plays consistent poker and isn't one to be messed with on a check raise. And just quietly, Beck
has never cooked the BBQ. What is happening in the world!?!?
Matty Pease current points:(4): Also known as "the chef" and *A look up at the ceiling after going all in on a losing hand*, before anyone is out. Lets put it this way, if there is a BBQ on, Matty wants to cook it. He's willing to spend $30 a week just so he can do so. COOK ON MATTY! COOK ON!
Ted current points:(1000000): Also known as the "annoyance", Marky's emotional pin cushion, "i'll chase anything round", "I bark because I can" and Harry's ass trailer. Ted doesn't play poker, but he has been known to influence the table more than once. Don't let the picture of this cute little fella fool you. Ted really is an arsehole.
