We had a lot of new players tonight! Thanks for stopping by new folks - come on over to PokerStars for March.
BR1JMT fell to cribrocks when his two pair was bested on the river by trip Kings.
electricclaude with AK got a call from btcruiser with 10-K. The board came up K-Q-3-K-10 and cost electricclaude all his chips when btcruiser hit a full house on the river.
Two hands later btcruiser took another victim out - yep - yours truly! I had AQ - short stacked on the button - this looked like a good place to get all my chips in with the best hand. btcruiser called with A-9 clubs. With K-7-4-9-8 on the board, btcruiser took my chips and I went home.
cribrocks fell to btcruiser when cri's A-5 didn't hold up against bt's K6. The board was 7-3-K-9-6 to take down cribrocks on the river.
btcruiser and mr heatmizer battled heads-up for a long time. After a lot of back and fourth, and an offer to split the pot (too bad Full Tilt doesn't have a 'chop' button!) mr heatmizer finally took the whole tournament.
btcruiser had Ah-4h against mr heatmizer's Qd-Jh
Kh-8d-9d-Qc-10s
On the board to make a straight for mr heatmizer
Nice Game Mr Heatmizer!
Hope to see everyone next week on Poker Stars for Omaha H/L

Wrap Up of Last Week's KO Tourney
We had seven players step up to the plate last week. Here's how things shook out:
7) Philiip went out when his two pair fell to tripps111's trip fives
6) LittleRedGnome went out to electricclaude. Electricclaude called with pocket nines and LittleRedGnome in the big blind with J5. LRG paired his Jack on the flop (Jd 6s 2h). EC rivered a third Nine to end LRG's night.
5) mr heatmizer went out tripps111 when he didn't get any help on the board for his A9. Tripps111 paired up his K to end mr heat's night.
4) uminga went out to electricclaude's pocket Jacks. Neither player got any help on the board and my night was over. Always a bubble-maid, never the bride ;)
3) slick28 went out next to electricclaude. Slick28 had pocket 4's - electricclaude called with 10d Ac and paired up his ace on the flop.
electricclaude and tripps111 went heads up with almost equal stacks. electricclaude went all in with pocket kings. tripps111 called with A5.
The board was:
A 5 2 2 5
A full house for tripps111. Great hit tripps.

Wrap Up of Last Night's HORSE Tourney
Five people came to play last night. It was a fun, small get-together! Here's how things shook out:
5: lilwoozy
4: uminga
3: electricclaude
2: LittleRedElf
1: mr heatmizer
mr heatmizer took me out while we were playing Holdem. I was short-stacked, looking for an opportunity to get all my chips in the pot with the best hand. Pocket Kings showed up - this was my chance! I maxed out the raises pre-flop going heads-up with mr heatmizer. After the flop (8-J-7 rainbow) I pushed the rest of my chips in and showed my KK. mr heatmizer showed up with pocket Jacks and took me out with trips. The turn and river were blanks. Good catch heatmizer!
Let's hear your take on last night's game - write it up here!

Post a comment below if you want to set up another weekly tournament (we would have 2 every week - one on Tues and one on another night)
- How do you feel about the buy-in? Should it be more, or keep it at $5?
- Do you want to set up a series of tournaments with some sort of prize at the end of the series based on some sort of point system to be developed later?
- Anything else you'd like to comment about during the tourneys?
Thanks for the feedback!!

Out with the Forums, In with the Blog
I'm going to try a new format for communicating with the Michigan Poker Players who visit the web site and receive e-mail every week. Check here for Tuesday Tourney information: the who, what, when, where, why & how much. Also check for the results!!
Updates about the web site, other web sites, fun stuff and interesting strategy will also be posted here. Comments will always be open and available - so let me know what you think! (Just an aside, I did customer service for over 10 years - it's pretty hard to hurt my feelings, especially if you've got some constructive things to say!)
The forums never really took off. I think the measures I had to take to minimize the spammers made it really user un-friendly. It got to the point where the fake accounts outnumbered the real ones about 4-5 to 1. Still, more time was spent deleting spam from the forums than reading real posts. This spam-stopping time can now be dedicated to the blog!
