Last night was a great night! We had an awesome BBQ with WAY too much food. Of course, I think that’s a staple of BBQs – way too much food. Once we made sure that everyone had enough to eat we made our way downstairs and setup for poker. We ended up having twelve people playing so we started with two tables of six, with the plan to merge to one table at 8 people.

My table consisted of myself (duh), Mooney, Brent, Brett, Mike C, and Mike H. Nikki’s table was occupied by Jason, Scott, Liz, Ryan, and Jeff O.

Mooney was the first to drop out of the game as his hand ran up against Mike H’s boat, kings full of aces. Ouch. Unfortunately, Nikki was the next to go as Jason sent her packing. After Nikki, Liz didn’t last too much longer either before she was sent to the rail. The final table was created when Jeff O was sent packing.

The remaining 8 gathered at our table and we started dealing. The order in which people fell rather eludes me at the moment but we ended up in th money when I sent Mike H to the rail, leaving Brent, Jason, and I to battle it out for supremacy. I double up the very short-stacked Brent a couple times to give him a playable stack. I then double up off of Jason and knocked Brent out shortly after that. Heads-up against Jason didn’t last too long. Without figuring out the exact numbers I probably had a 20:1 chip lead on him and finally knocked him out to win the Canada Day Poker tourney @ Rob’s! Woohoo!

So a big thank you to everyone that came out for either the BBQ or poker! And an even bigger thank you to our parents, who not only came out for the BBQ but also brought food!

As I mentioned, the entire day was incredible. Well, except for Alex. He’s got at least two more teeth coming in and they are bothering him a LOT so he was particularly cranky yesterday. Getting him to sleep was near impossible and didn’t happen until around 11pm. I thought that was hopeful that I’d be able to sleep in a bit this morning. Apparently his 4:30am wake-up call had other plans. I got him back to sleep at he slept until 7:30. He seems to be in a good mood thus far today though.
