New Leader! All hail the King!

What would the King wear if the King were James? Everyone as a hat I reckon.

Tally for the weekend:

James; 1 win, 1 second, one very large hat.
Con; 1 second.
Cashtro; 2 wins, and a second that he certainly didn't get? (speak up if you got a second that wasn't recorded? Note: I wasn't doing the ladder this week).
Damo; 1 second.
Kate; who cares, not on the ladder. (Alright, did get a win.)

Player	Points	Wins	2nd	3rd	4th
James	85	5	2	3	3
Chris	75	4	3	2	4
Cashtro	65	3	4	2	4
Damian	50	2	4	5	3
Louis	10	0	2	1	0

Turn of the tide?

Reign of Con ends; Cashtro plays best poker ever (for two seconds, argh!); James poised to take the lead! Woo, new ladder:

Player	Points	Wins	2nd	3rd	4th
Chris	70	4	2	1	3
James	65	4	1	3	2
Damian	45	2	3	4	2
Cashtro	30	1	3	2	4
Louis	10	0	2	1	0

Reign of Con continues…

Fortune favours the brave. (What’s that other thing they say about bravery again?)

There was also new blood… Louis has joined the ladder and did respectfully well with 2 seconds, one of which could have been a win had Con not rivered an 8 after having rivered the same 8 against Heardy earlier to stay in the game… argh! Happy place, happy place. (Who is Louis? You’ll need to come to poker to find out!). Kate was there too with two new devastating moves: the slow play and the all in. Despite being a master of the game, she’s still holding out on joining the ladder, what gives? James won the first game to move into second place, but is still 35 points down on Con. Heardy scored a second place. I was shit.

Okay, so we have a change of venue for the Sunday August 13th ladies poker game:

--------------------------------
