Big O featured at WNBP!

It was a big night for all the players! We had a real celebrity in attendance! Gary Otten, otherwise known as BIG O! He was in the house! He played football at the UNIVERSITY OF ALABAMA! ROLL TIDE! He played for BEAR BRYANT! Big O is also a high roller poker player at the Huntsville Country Club! Big O Schooled us last night, lets see how much he won........WAIT, looks like he lost! could it be? Big O really lost to a bunch of ROOKIES? I was really looking forward to writing something positive about Big O, but alas, he was down $35! Too bad! maybe next time! It was the OTHER BIG Guy who cleaned up! Yes, THE CHAMP! Big John! UP $35!!!! Congratulations CHAMP! we are not worthy! I think its time for you to abandon your amature status and go PRO! You must get bored, taking candy from us babies!

In other news......

RONNIE BALL won HH #2 with a straight flush! At the turn the board had 2, 3, 5 of hearts and I had the 4 of hearts, open on both ends! I showed my card to "the boy" (he was already out of the hand). The river was the 6 of hearts! The boy had to control his reaction as did I. I calmly said "I check" it was checked all around, Justin looked through the deck and announced that the straight flush was out there somewhere, that's when I turned over my 4 of hearts! $26 High Hand!

Then there was the Justin Tarr Story.....

Losing early, getting beat by one outers! Justin was gonna go home, we kept on talking him into staying. (we needed his dealing talent) It was getting late and he was leaving for sure!! The boy had just drawn out on him for a big pot, he offered to buy Justin back in, so did Brad! Justin reluctantly took the offer from the boy. From that point on, Justin was winning! He won back ALL the money he was down and even came out ahead $10! A lot of that was MY MONEY! Next time, let him go!!!! LOL ;-)

Brad Won HH #1 and won a bunch of money ($40) early, ended up giving it back. But won a hand of No-Peek for $25.

Justin T won HH#3 with Quad Tens! --- After we made him STAY!

It was a good night, I think all 17 of us had a good time! the rundown.....

The Champ (Big John) + $35

Blog Anniversary

I started this Blog a year ago this month! Its a lot of fun and I think a lot folks like to read it. Thanks for all the good feedback.

Thanks to Joey for getting me a nice shirt at the beach!

I failed to write the report for last week. (see it at the bottom of this post)
Been very busy since we got back from the RV trip. I had six new tires put on the RV yesterday! Good to go now!

Last night.......

We had 16 players. Brad brought some "high test" beer, unavailable in Alabama until they changed the law last month. (Higher percentage of alcohol) Thanks a bunch Brad! I got to have 3 or 4 bottles of it. I didn't want to hog it all but for some reason, everyone at my table insisted that I drink as many strong beers as I could. Maybe it was because I was wining too much! I caught Big O BLUFFING and later I got lucky on a big hand (everyone ALL-IN) I had Jack, Nine of hearts and we were all in PRE-Flop! Big John and Kurt missed drawing a straight, I ended up winning with 2 pair, Jacks and Nines. The pot was over $40! Luck! Then I beat Justin with a 2 outer! --- sometimes I get lucky! Found out what "suited connectors" means...... Jack-Ten Suited or any 2 cards next to each other, suited. I kept calling my Jack Nine suited connectors ....wrong. Now I know.

Rick brought a "Boston Butt" and buns, in other words.......Bray Brings Boston Butt & Buns By Basement! It was delicious! Thanks Rick!

And Thanks to Justin! He has been our Primary Dealer for a year now, ever since Spidey moved away. Justin does a great job! Even with all the "abuse" we all give him. We know how hard it is and we really appreciate you dealing for us every week! Keep up the good work. Thanks to Rudy too! Rudy is doing a good job dealing for table 2, I think he has been winning more too!



Lets get to the rundown........

I think Kurt won the 1st HH and Mark B. won the 2nd HH.

Ronnie Big Winner! + $60

WNBP makes it's mark in Tunica


No one at Sam's Town seemed to care about all the WNBP shirts in the Poker Room at Sam's Town, that is, until two of 'em were still around with only 25 people left in Saturday Night's BIG Texas Hold 'em Tournament. (192 Players) and one still in at the Final Table! Who was it? None other than WNBP's own BIG JOHN McEWEN ! BIG JOHN CHOPPED THE POT NINE WAYS AT THE FINAL TABLE and took home $2300.00 ! CONGRATULATIONS BIG JOHN ! You did us PROUD! Believe it or not, it was…..

John's first time ever in a casino poker Room!
John's first time ever to play in a Casino Poker Tournament!

Words from the man himself, Big John........

Ronnie, For the Blog......

Saturday night tournament had 192 players. We all started with $5000 in chips. 2nd hand of the tournament, I have pocket 8's. I limp in, regular player at the end of the table calls, flop comes 8, 5, J. I have trip 8's, player at the end of the table bets $2500. I call, turn card is my fourth 8. Player at the end of the table goes all in, I call. He turns up a full house, 5's full of 8's. I turn up my quad 8's, he gets pissed and storms out, 2nd hand of the tournament. About 15 minutes later, the girl to my left that put Paul Galloway out for the morning tournament and cashed in 12th place, has A, Q. I have pocket K's. I bet $1600, she calls, flop comes K, A, A. She goes all in for her $5000 chips, I call. Turn and River were something, Something. I win with K's full of A's. Tippled up early in the game. The rest was easy. I got a lot of respect every time I bet the rest of the night. Folded a lot of hands and did not get mixed up in very many challenges. I made it to the final table with nine players and ended up chopping the pot with $2300 going to each player. Not a single person asked me what the WNBP stood for on my black shirt all day long. I was in that poker room from 0900 in the morning until almost 0100 the next morning. After the tournament, I had a double hand full of players come up to me and ask me what WNBP stood for. Pretty funny! I had a great time in my first casino poker tournament. Thanks to Ronnie for showing me the ropes and putting everything together. I look forward to the next tournament.

-John H. McEwen

From Kathy.....

Kathy and Marla CASHED in a smaller tournament!!!!..........

Kat McKay - June 15th, 2009
I played in 3 tournaments this weekend.
On Friday night, there was over 100 people, I couldn't get my head in the game, so I was out in thirty-something place.

On Saturday night, there were 192 people and I finished 23rd and money started at 18. So close!! Congratulations to Big John, he chopped the pot with 4 or 5 other players but I'll let him tell that story.

On Sunday morning, there were 52 people and Marla and I were at the final table together.
There were 10 people at the final table and Marla was Big Blind, she called 2 short stack All Ins preflop.
I started sweating for her. I was afraid for her to go up against 2 players.
Player 1 turned over pocket Jacks. Player 2 turned over Ace/Queen offsuit. Marla turns over Ace/King
suited (I think). The flop comes Ace, King, little card. Marla has 2 pair now - aces and kings.
The turn card is an Ace! Marla has a full house!! The other 2 are drawing dead now!! Marla raked in
the biggest pile orange chips ($1000 chips) I ever saw.
We chopped the pot when we got down to 6 people, so each of us got $375. Marla had never played in a tournament at a casino before this weekend. Congratulations, Marla!!!

Thanks to Kurt for watching over us this weekend!! During the Saturday night tournament, my sugar level was dropping and so was my focus. Thanks, Kurt for bringing me food during the tournament. My sugar level recovered and so did my focus!

Thanks, Ronnie for all your coordination and for documenting this trip.
------------------------------------
The "MARLA" Experience............

Kurt said he was the only one left to congratulate John on his win that night! He really supported everyone all weekend!
My favorite hand came before Kathy moved to my table. I had just sat my drink down, the dealer said ante up, so I could be part of that hand. I did so, and peaked at my cards. Didn't even get a chance to sit down. The flop came queen nine six. The guy on the other end of the table went all in, the guy next to him went all in, and so did I. The first guy stood up, cheered, and said "Pocket 9's", everyone went ohhhhhhhhhhh. The next guy threw his hand in, and they looked at me. Still standing, I said but I've got the ladies! Loved my trip queens! Knocked out 2 men, the ladies will do that for you :).
It was so nice to then sit down and play. Two hands later, Kathy moved to my table, and I was scared to death :). Handled myself pretty good with her :). Before we were moved to the final table, I figured out she was stealing the blinds and joined in. I also bluffed a big pot, looked at Kathy and she knew. I was so proud! Finally figured out position :). Wish I had not been so nervous the first part of the weekend, but next time, watch out :). Congrats to John for cashing in on the "BIG ONE"! And thanks to Kurt, Kathy, and Guy for all their support in my first poker experience! And I'm so sorry I lost Ronnie, he is a sneaky, quick one :).


Thanks Marla! -Ronnie
---------------------------------------------
From Paul! .......................
Here are my comments to the Tunica Trip. Congratulations to Big John, Kathy, and Marla for cashing in the tournaments. Thanks again to Ronnie for hosting and Christopher for doing a lot of work during the trip. Even with the tire issue, I had a great time. I especially enjoyed playing cards and learning new games on the ride down and back with Jason, Christopher, Brad, and Ann.I will only discuss the two hands that got me out of both tournaments, so that others may learn from my experience and I can make corrections for future tournaments.I survived both tournaments to about 50% of the starting field.Morning Tournament Experience: The young lady that Big John put out in the evening tournament put me out in the morning tournament.She has pocket jacks.I have Ace/Jack suited and late position and I am getting a little short stacked with antes and blind taking more and more.Flop comes 3, 9, JShe goes all in quickly. No other callers, it comes to me in late position. I start thinking. She even tells me she has a strong hand as I am thinking about calling. I do not believe her and call which puts me all in.Turn and River come 5, A. She wins with trip jacks. She goes on to finish in the money and I go back to the RV.Lesson: If a new/inexperienced player tells you they have a strong hand with a straight face, you may want to believe them. She had also played and won many hands before that and I did not think she could keep getting great cards. My mistake had put me out. Probably should have been a little more aggressive earlier to build up my chip stack and not force me into a call with weaker cards.Evening Tournament Experience: Big John and I were at the same table, both wearing WNBP shirts.Blinds and antes were quickly eroding my meager chip stack. I had about the starting amount in chips ($5000), but most folks have more at this point since half the field is gone.I have pocket kings and go all in early position.A veteran calls with Ace, 10 suited in late position.I feel good about doubling up since he has only 3 outs other than the suited cards.Flop does not hit either of us; turn comes Ace, no help to me on the river, so he wins.No mistake here, just bad luck. It was about a 50/50 situation that did not go my way.I really enjoying watching Big John double up on the second hand with quads. The tournament veteran he put out stormed away from the table. Great trip. Looking forward to the next one (the over 50 WPT circuit event in January) I had several folks ask about my shirt. I told them we were a poker playing cult that hoards weapons and sacrifices virgins in a basement in Alabama. (JK, Ronnie). I think our group gained some respect and many of the dealers and other players at Sam’s Town are getting to know us by name and face.

Thanks Paul!
--------------------------
And, a nice note from Paul.....

Ronnie:
I am not a young man anymore and even with the small issues we had on the trip, it was one of the most fun trips I have ever been on. I had a great time relaxing and playing cards on the way up and back. Even though I did not do well at the poker tables, I truly enjoyed my trip. The minor stuff just makes the trip more memorable.I appreciate all the work you and Christopher did in preparing and executing the trip. Your are an expert planner and a great host. We all owe you for your generosity.Please let us know if you need additional funds to cover the cost of the trip including the new RV tire when you get it.See you Wednesday.
Paul

Thanks Paul!
-----------------------------
The RV trip was "Eventful" ……

We started out just after 12 on Friday, Rolling down I-565, near Greenbrier, we had a left rear tire EXPLODE! It sounded like a shotgun blast, looking out my left side mirror I could see tire fragments hitting the cars in the left lane. ( we were in the right lane) I eased off onto the emergency lane. We could see that it was the inside tire of the dual tire configuration. Completely shredded! The mud flap bracket was folded up as well. Christopher and Brad and Paul worked in the hot sun to get the damaged bracket off the tire. We limped on down the road with just the one tire. We were directed to a Truck-tire center in Decatur. I explained our plight to the owner and he said it would be at least a half hour before he could get to us. That’s when DOLLAR BILL went into action!
I don't know what Bill said to the man, all I know is Bill waved us in immediately! They jumped on it! Pulled the spare out from underneath, swapped it out! They were done in 15 minutes. I was called into the office to pay the bill, I'm thinking $100.00 Paul was thinking $75. The man punches some keys on his computer and says: "$25" ! I had to ask him to repeat it, yup, only $25. He turned out to be a good guy, I think dollar Bill set him straight! Thanks Bill!
Back on the road, eating sandwiches, taking it easy, we come up on a "wide load" on 72. It’s a big mobile home 14 foot wide with escort trucks. I moved into passing position. Mater was in the passenger seat at the time, he says, "you aint gonna try to pass him are ya" ? I said hell yeah! You'll never make it! ……Watch this boys!! I got on the CB radio and told the escorts and driver that the RV behind them was going to attempt a pass. They responded, bring it on! Just let us know when. ....on the next downhill I'm coming! I stayed way left and rolled! Mater said he couldn’t watch! Others where holding their breath. We had a least 4 inches to spare! We cleared it no problem. GOOD JOB came back over the CB Radio! Mater says you couldn’t have put a sheet of paper between our mirror that that rig!
Later on, well into Mississippi, the weather started looking bad, dark clouds ahead. Christopher got on the computer/internet and saw MAJOR STORMS ahead of us. Big Blobs of Red, yellow and green 100's of miles wide! He pinpointed our location with the GPS and advised we pull over and wait. I had no problem with that because the wind was already trying to blow us off the road. We were hit with heavy rain and wind for a long time. After the worst of it passed we headed on. We got reports of trees down everywhere. Power was out for over 130,000 people. Big John was about an hour ahead of us in his van, he called to warn us about the weather, he said a road sign blew right over the top of his van! As we approached Olive Branch we could see the power out everywhere. The traffic signals were out as well, it took forever to get through an intersection! Man, what a trip! We finally made it to Sam's Town after 7 Friday night. it took over seven hours! Paul was quick to hand me a cold brew when we hit the parking lot! I needed it! We got set up, Christopher grilled hamburgers, and we chilled for a while.


Saturday was full of action! Judging from the stories submitted! I guess I might have started with the Coors Light a bit too early on Saturday, NOON! I sat down at a 3 -6 Limit game and played pretty well. I folded A LOT, only played a hand now and then and usually won! I had several free Coors Light. I was still ahead and playing the same game when they came around asking for people to sign up for the BIG Tournament Saturday night. I gave them my $150. I managed to play a few hands in the tournament but I got put out early. I went down to the Craps table and played with Mater and Ann. The guy rolling before me had a very good roll and we were all up! My roll was very good also! I was told later that I was too loud! How can you be too loud at a craps table? I was hollering….. 2 DOLLAR HIGH LOW ……DOLLAR YO! ….INSIDE! …..HARD SIX! I won the table a bunch of money! The next shooter did well too. I should have cashed out at that point, up maybe $200. But no, I played until I gave it all back. Oh well, it WAS FUN! Thank goodness I squirreled away $300 back in the RV or it would have been gone too! I made it back to the RV on my own! Thanks for all the people looking out for me. All I can say is I needed to RELAX after the trip Friday! I'm sorry I missed the Steak cookout at the RV Saturday, early evening. Paul and Christopher set it up and several people took advantage. I had my 2 steaks at midnight! That’s pretty much my story as far as play. Christopher is writing his story….. did well at the cash games.

Mater said after I left the craps table, he took over. He had the whole table shouting ….WINNER, WINNER, WHATS FOR DINNER? I think the old saying is winner, winner, Chicken dinner. But that’s OK, it worked! Just like me he had a bunch of chips! We need to learn how to put some in our pockets, before they get away! Sounds like he may have had close to $400 worth of chips before the table went cold. He left the table with enough money for him and Ann to play other games. I'm glad Mater and Ann got to see how much fun craps can be. If you can get everyone at the table cheering and having a good time, your doing it right! Mater did it! It was really the first time he ever really played, we taught him the basics just prior to the trip! Mater said he was on a "come-out" roll and hit several 7's, which is a front line winner, he hit it over 6 times and everyone was increasing their front line bets. Mater was encouraging the increased bets, stating, put your money down! Another 7 coming up! and he would roll another seven! THE PITT BOSS CAME UP, TOOK THE DICE AND TOLD THE BOX MAN TO PUT OUT NEW DICE. Mater had no choice but to pick two new nice, that was the end of his runs of 7's. I have never seen that done and I think it sucks! Never the less, good roll Mater!

Sleeping 6 guys in the RV worked pretty well. Me and Brad in the Master bed. (we stayed separated) (no spooning) !!!!! Paul had the master bedroom floor. He looked comfortable. All three of us wore our CPAP Machines, it looked like an intensive care ward with all of us on LIFE SUPPORT ! That reminds me of a story….. I woke up in the middle of the night, needed to pee. I kept my mask on, just disconnected the hose and went in the bathroom, when I popped out the bathroom door, Jason was there, my mask must have scared the crap out of him, he said "holy s--t" I just chuckled and crawled back in the sack. Jason slept on the table/bed, Dollar Bill had the couch/foldout and Christopher had his recliner (his favorite place to sleep) . Jason found Christopher asleep outside in a lawn chair, dew drops already forming on his face. Maybe that why Christopher was feeling poorly Saturday!

Sunday morning we were all rudely awakened at 7 am by the sound of THUNDER! Another major storm was upon us! Heavy rain, wind, thunder and lightning! Christopher got the radar up and warned us to get ready to seek shelter. I wasn’t going anywhere! It if meant ending up in the Mississippi River upside down in a sinking RV, so be it! Lucky for us, the storm passed. Later, we all got up and started getting ready. Wait, we all got up except Brad. Brad was "tired" so we let him sleep in. I think he got up after we crossed the Alabama state line. That’s one of the advantages of having an RV!

Speaking of the Alabama State line, it was right about there when a fellow motorist pulled up on our left and signaled us to pull off the road! What now? *SIGH* "your left rear tires are wobbling and look like they may come off" Dang it. Yes, it’s the one we replaced! Yes, the nuts were loose, 2 studs were broke off! (eight studs total) I guess the shop guy failed to get the lugs tight enough. We had no lug wrench. I knew Big John was about 5 miles behind us. I called him, he stopped, and we tried his lug wrench, too small of course. Christopher found a small adjustable wrench and tightened the remaining lugs as tight as he could. Big John was our SPOTTER! He kept an eye on us while we headed on down the road. Paul spotted an auto parts store, we stopped, Big John to the rescue! He bought us a killer lug wrench tool thingy ($35). He kindly donated it to us! Thanks Big John! Me and Dollar Bill found a concrete block, placed it under the rear hydraulic jack and got the tire off the ground. The block crumbled but held just long enough for Christopher to tighten the lug nuts. We were fine after that. We still had Big John watching for anything else to fly off the RV. As we rolled down I-565 I called Big John, thanked him for his help and sent him on his way. Thanks a bunch Big John!

from Marla.....

My favorite game was "Huntin-for-Ronnie" :). Kurt won :). more on this subject later!

Let me know of errors or if I forgot anyone (senior moment)

Craps Class

Thanks REX!

Rex held a clinic on CRAPS last night, good job REX, we really appreciate it! I BET we will need another one soon! A lot of folks couldn't make it last night. Rick and Jackie Babe made it as well as Jason and me and "the boy". Rick is a "hard-way" shooter! and Jason is a "come-bet" player! LOL.





We started out with bad luck, we took our turns throwing the dice but none of us could hit our point! We heard a lot of "SEVEN-OUT" ! from the dealer REX. Jason was the first to finally hit is point. We thought Jackie Babe could get things going but it was not to be, good try Jackie! It was ME, "RONNIE BALL" !! that finally got on a ROLL!!!! We all took a big chunk of "house money" on that roll, too bad it was play money!



Rex left the table in the basement so its available for future classes or play. Thanks again Rex, good job!
