S16 game 4: A Festive First: Ugly Sweater Poker Night! 🎅🃏

This month, we celebrated the holiday season in style with our first-ever Christmas Ugly Sweater Poker Game! The atmosphere was buzzing with festive energy, as the table was surrounded by players donning their most colorful and creative holiday sweaters. The aroma of homemade chili simmering on the stove added to the cozy vibe.

🎄 Check out all the colorful Christmas sweaters from this month’s game in our highlight reel: Ugly Sweater Poker Night Video. 

Only one sub in attendance—Tina’s husband, Dan, unfortunately Dan couldn’t find his footing and made an early exit. In true holiday spirit, Samero played the role of Santa, surprising everyone with lottery tickets as early gifts. 🎁 Joe Shinn stepped up his game after a disappointing Halloween attire showing.

Rick continued his incredible streak, making his fourth consecutive final table this season. Meanwhile, Pierre had his sights set on poker league history, hoping to secure his third win in a row, but the cards didn’t fall in his favor at the final table. Pete L has done a complete 180 this season, but can he hold onto the run and finish strong this year. 

Throughout the night, much of the conversation turned to the ongoing drone situation in New Jersey, adding an unexpected twist to the evening’s chatter.

When the dust settled, it came down to a heated heads-up battle between Hoagie and Matt L. Hoagie emerged victorious, taking home the win and further solidifying his commanding lead in the league standings. Pierre remains a close second, keeping the race exciting as we head into the new year.

The night wasn’t over without some extra luck for Roger, who won the lottery bonus! 🍀 

Don’t Miss the Next Game!
Our next game is on January 6 at 7:15 PM, —our first-ever Big Blind Ante game. 

For anyone looking for the perfect poker-themed Christmas gift for a friend or family member, one of our subs, Frank DiRe one of our league subs, has put together a fantastic list of ideas. Check it out here: The Best Gifts for Poker Players.

Happy Holidays, and see you at the tables in January! 🎅♠️

s 14 : Game 7 30 min levels

 

Monday night was our monthly poker league night, hosted by the one and only Mushy Mike. As always, we had a blast playing poker, laughing, and trash-talking each other. But there was one thing missing: Scott. Yep, he was a no-show, as per usual. Ray is even going to start calculating Scotts, which equals last place points.

But despite Scott's absence, the game went on. Keane, Cicali, and Foster all had subs, but it was Rick Waldman who stole the show. He went on a deep run after taking out Cicali's sub Tim Murphy by cracking his aces with pocket queens. I mean, who needs aces when you have luck, right?

The game was intense, with everyone trying their best to win. But in the end, it was down to the final three players: Neamand, Matt Lopresti, and Rick "The Grinder" Waldman. The luck of Rick paid off because he won the game for the night and now controls first place with two games remaining. Looks like Rick is the one to beat now!

We also want to give a shout out to Mushy Mike for hosting the event. We couldn't have done it without you!

All in all, it was another great night of poker and good times with friends. We can't wait for the next game on Monday, April 17th, which will be a deepstack poker night back at Cicali's house. Until then, keep practicing your poker skills and get better!

S14: Game 6 TURBO NIGHT

 

Welcome to game 6 Turbo Night.  This month's league was full of surprises, from Larry actually showing up, to Scott and Foster twinning all night long.

Joe Shinn brought The Rock as a card protector instead of his Penguin helped him make a small run. Larry described the Rock as a "Krauszers Meth Head". Speaking of Larry, who is known for skipping out on poker league nights shocked everyone by actually showing up this time. But alas, he had to leave early when he made it to the final table because his girlfriend needed him. We can't blame him for that, but we can't help but wonder if he's ever going to win a game!

Scott and Foster, on the other hand, decided to match outfits and be twinning all night long. We're not sure if it was their attempt at psychological warfare or just a fashion statement, but it definitely made for a fun night. 

In other news, we might have a new podcast starting with Foster, Samero, and Scott, where they'll delve into the world of international conspiracies. We can't wait to see what they come up with!

Keane is still holding the lead in the league after Samero punted him a full stack. But Cicali, Rick, and the Lopresti brothers are hot on his tail. But don't count anyone out just yet, as there's still plenty of time for things to change.

Speaking of Scott, he managed to angle his quad 10s when they hit on the board, much to the chagrin of his opponents. And Mikey Mush Lopresti had a stroke of luck when he won the lottery. The other Lopresti, Matthew.... won after taking out Rick.

The next league night will be at Mike Lopresti's, 30 min levels, in Lumberton on March 20th at 7:15 pm. So mark your calendar. 

 

League Standings as Follows:

Season 14 Starts with a Sub

 Season 14 started with sub galore. Even though just about everyone came back into the league a lot of players needed a sub for their first game. Keane, Larry and Ray all used subs for the game. Ray used Tim Murphy who also won the summer tournament. In that match he went heads up against Mikey Mush Lopresti and won. History repeated itself when the two went heads up again and the same outcome occurred. 

Shocker that a bunch of subs went deep and the angling Lopresti Brothers made final table appearances.

One new rule was added that allows for an emergency sub in the final game. 

Jacob hit a Q high Straight flush to start off with a strong high hand. 

Next game is the first ever league Mystery Bounty tournament on October 17th.
