Of course that £15 game was "different" ffs!!
We landed at DTD at 7.40 only to find that they"d capped the tournament at 63, so 6 of us all joined the reserve list. They then opened up a new table after it had started because dealers were available, and our table consisted of:
Me
Duke
Wee Man
Laxie
Gatso
and one other blonde who isn"t on here afaik. The first 2 levels were completely insane, with the dealer in hysterics and the other 3 players just looking as if they wanted to run away. Fast. Every other hand, all the cardroom would hear was one word.
"RAISE"
In an Irish accent from the gentleman in glasses and full beard in seat 7. You guys do the math. Gatso and I punctuated it with various one liners that started with "And in other news..." and generally ended with famous news stories that were at least 50 years old. On one memorable occasion, Ger announced raise and I muttered "and in other news, the Titanic sank last week", to which the dealer nearly dropped the cards from laughing!
It was the best table I have ever played on...and just to make it better, I limped on Duke"s BB and somehow it managed to be a hand he DIDN"T raise!
Oh, and Ger, have you ever had piles??
