3rd Annual Championship Tournament!
February 17th was the 3rd annual Championship Tournament at our local home game! The top 10 scoring players throughout the year are invited to play in the event! So even making it to the Championship should be considered a victory in itself. The pot is accumulated throughout out the year from the monthly tournaments so this year’s prize was Awesome and there’s also the coveted Championship Bracelet. The tournament host Mel and the club owners Scott and Leslie do an incredible job managing this throughout the year! Thank you to all of them for hosting such a great series of tournaments!
The tournament brings out the best gamesmanship, the best bluffs and steals, the best play and of course the best banter! This year was no exception as there was definitely so wild moves, and wilder calls!
This year on top of the prize pool each player added an additional buy in and every player put up a 5 buck bounty on themselves, making the action even more aggressive!
The final 5 Lem, Scotty “doesn’t know “ Greg ( by all accounts is one of the most improved) myself, and the chip bully ( sorry chip leader) “5 buck Chuck” ( new nickname cuz he was collecting bounties)
Final 2 heads up myself and Chick decided to chop, could’ve played a bit longer but honestly Chuck’s play deserved to win, consistent, aggressive play I enjoyed being a part of it! Great Job Chuck now everyone can go after you for the rest of the year!!!
I’ve managed to be selected for all 3 Championships so far however have only been able to get to 2nd in 2 of the 3. For me I enjoy the game, I enjoy the people, but hopefully next year I can win the freaking bracelet!

Monthly Home Game Fun!
This past week was the monthly tournament,full of competitive, great players! I really enjoy playing cards with this group, great venue, having a few drinks, smoking cigars and the banter amongst everyone is top notch!a small $ amount and a cigar buys you in and additional $5 and your part of the high hand prize. The tournaments are well run with nice tables and poker chips and there is a blind clock to manage the rounds!
The tournament director is incredible and everyone has a fun time! Whether you’re playing great or your down everyone is supportive and there to hang out and enjoy the camaraderie!
The atmosphere is great and the hands can get wild. The pace and the action is great for both beginners and those that have played for years.
It’s a great time, and allows me an opportunity to continue to learn and sometimes share what I’ve learned. Whether I’m trying a new strategy or losing with my current strategy I enjoy playing with great people and watching the game evolve. Making new friends and building on long friendships, the relationships amongst players is often overlooked in the poker “how to” guides!
In ending whether you’re a recreational player, a grinder or even a pro, make time for your home game. Enjoy the players, the relaxed pace and try to enjoy yourself! (Bluff your ass off)
This article is dedicated to Terry missed you last week brother and Sean who will be missed as he heads off to great opportunities in Cali!
