Well, I ran my tues. night game for the first time in about a month last night. Wohoooo! 11 players including myself and my wife and it was a great game. It was our standard .25/.50 NLHE game and people sure did come to play.

I made a horrible call with trip queens after another player had called all-in with his flush and both of us lost to the full house (he had the case queen). Oh well, wallet time. I won a couple monster pots with AKs (busting the wife) and pocket QQ with my queens full of fives vs. fives full of aces. Ended the night down $8 but oh well.

There was a lot of action all around the table, good betting from most of the players but some of the WPT kids did put some pretty ugly beats down on the river. I only got sucked out once so I count myself lucky. Don't really remember the details of the hand but it was a rivered gutshot to beat my flopped top set. The guy only had about $5 in front of him anyway. Again, oh well... soldier on.

So... with this many people at last nights game I'm going to go ahead and build two or three smaller tables. I'm planning to host 24 player tournaments so three 8 person tables would be perfect. I think two tables on cash game night would be great... I can have one table of NLHE and the other can be a limit mixed game or dealer's choice. Hell, I could even run the .25/.50 on one table and see if I can get people to play a .50/1 NLHE on the other. Start with a freezeout and then go to a cash game on the "losers" table, whatever. NOW we're talking some pokah!

That's cool, I have never gone over ten in any of our home games. Most of the time we manage only 7 or 8.

The problem for me is not having enough room to store all the tables! I'd keep building them, but the wife already hates the fact that it's folded up in the office/den. She thinks it's unGodly and huge... How can she say such things about a piece of art?
