M.S.O.P – The TTDI Leg: Official Report

Local Heroes present:
Mr. Kee, Mr. Lee, Mr. Ken Li (sorry man, maybe I spelt it wrong!), Mr. Tan & Mr. Symons.

And the winner is…. ME! It seems that Lady Luck has come round for a bit of a tease. Hahahahaha!

But seriously, not to gloat, it was another monumental battle by our local poker heroes. Last night we started a bit late but because of the intensity of the game, the one game took 2 hours+!!
Mr. Symons, who has been having decent games for the past couple of days (Symons in Real Life & on FB!) was the first casualty of the night as several successive lost pots took its toll on the B.F.G. Mr. Tan was as cool as ever, going over-redline early but later clawing his was back up with a big pot win. That wasn’t enough though to stop Mr. Ken, Mr. Lee’s macha, from bulldozing through Mr. Tan.

Mr. Ken’s aggressive, loose play and constant raising using an ancient multiplication system (Janjang of Death) instilled fear in all those around him. Mr. Lee of course, was as cool as ever, which made him a force to be reckoned with as well. Mr. Lee’s calm & composure is virtually unmatched.

Mr. Kee on the other hand, appeared intimidated by the aggressive plays from the other players and decided to keep things tights (that’s the way he likes it you see), folding often and winning only certain and strong pots.

Eventually, Mr. Symons and Mr. Tan were eliminated with the remaining 3 playas having equal stack standing. Things were tense, and Mr. Symons was restless having already been eliminated (“Get off the floor Big C, and leave the trolley alone!”).

Suffice to say, it eventually down to just Mr. Lee and Myself, but admittedly, I was lucky enough to go head-to-head with superior chips (Mr. Lee had a number of great hands which would have wiped me out if we had even stacks). I won, but it was scrappy (High cards & low pairs).

Oh well, you know what they say: A Win is A Win. At least I’ve got something in common with Newcastle United last night!

Thanks to Mr. Lee for his house. We always look forward to playing there. See you guys soon.
