Crazy Home Game

We had a home game last night at my cousin Ant.’s house. (Not ShipThis, another of my cousin’s Ant. Italian family we have many Anthonys including me - LOL.) Anyway last time we played I suggested we add bounties to our SNGs. We decided on a $10 bounty and $50 for the prize pool. Then we added a wrinkle into the mix, when you knock someone out you have to sign your $10 bill over to him. This was already a crazy, loud game, but now it’s even crazier. People are calling just to get the signed $10 bill. We had yelling and screaming every time someone was all in. It’s a great game to blow off some steam from life’s daily grind. Something crazy happened last night, not even mentioning all the sick beats! (If you think Online Poker is Rigged play in one of our games and you will see the bad beats big time!) How about Aces going all in pre-flop, a flop of 10-2-3 rainbow, against A-Q and losing to runner runner.(Jack on the turn and King on the river.) Anyway my cousin Neil went on a heater and won every single bounty in our first SNG. (9 men played and he knocked out everyone!) 75% of the time he got it in behind and won anyway! I went all in with A-10 of clubs and he called with A-9 off, first card off the deck was a nine. It was just sick to watch his crushing of everyone else. Then went it got heads up he had like a 20-1 chip lead. My other cousin Ant. offered him a deal, all he wanted was his $10 bounty back and he would concede first place. (Personally I would have taken it!) Neil said no and on the first hand Ant pushed with K-9 suited and Neil called with pocket 5s and took the SNG down, with all the bounties! Let me say it again, sick, sick – LOL. Thanks for reading and good luck at the tables. Tony
