New Members Takes Season Opener!!
Congratulations to Darryl, one of the three newest members on The HILL, for taking the first game of the new season.
Darryl started gathering chips very early, and never gave very many back to anyone throughout the night. His first casualty was fellow new member Micheal, who ran against a higher set on the turn against Darryl and was forced to be the first CHUMP of Season 7. Don't worry, Micheal...we've ALL been there before.
Darryl continued to play very well after that, and by the time we were in the money, Jeff and Eleanor were faced against his monster pile of chips. All three players played very well, but eventually it went headsup between Newcomer Darryl, and veteran Jeff. Jeff had his work cut out for him...try taking as much as he could get...but Darryl was harbouring his stack selfishly to the end, and Jeff couldn't get much going at all.
You guys are going to have to fill in the hand details, as my memory is not what it used to be. All I can remember was both players had 9X, but I think Darryl outkicked Jeff, and even managed to pair up on the turn?? Could be wrong.
See everyone next week.

PS: Congrats Darryl, played the hand really well I must say. I owe you one!

It was a fun game last night....nice to see two tables going again.
Jeff actually had Darryl on the ropes when the money went all in. They both went all in on an open-ended straight draw - but Jeff's Q9 against Darryl's 95 would have given Jeff a better hand should the straight hit. The straight didn't hit, but Darryl caught his 5 on the turn and that was that!
BTW it was A-9 vs. 9-5 on a board of j-10-8. The 5 hit on the turn.
It was good to see so many new players plus the return of an old one. (The Fish Boy).
Is that a subliminal message? We'll see you 'ALL IN' two weeks time?? We better watch out for this guy.... he's trying to play mind games after 1 game!
Good game Darryl. "New Member Takes Season Opener"..... I think we've seen this tag line a few too many!

I don’t remember any specific hands, but I made it convincing. Darryl really had to work for it. Going in, he had a monster advantage. I managed to get the chip lead twice then give it back.
The best part, was when AJ laid out all the money. I almost slipped up when I complained about all the 5’s, and me and Chris started arguing about bringing Ching Hill money back into Ching Hill games. Darryl didn’t seem to notice though. Good game Darryl, just don’t try and spend any of that money at places where they put the bills under those little lights.:)
It was nice to play in a game where the SWAT teams dont show up...
Jeff, great heads up (and trust me the money will flow back through the hill). You made a huge comeback. However, you underestimate my crushing ability to pull 2-3 outers for miracle hands.
See: Turning the 3-out 5, flopping a set of 9's (When the 9 is exposed), and
flopping a set of Q's against QK.
How can you compete against that skill?
yep, you'll fit RIGHT in on The Hill!!!
Great game Daryl. Well done. You just keeping thinking we're pushovers, you'll learn the hard way like allllllll the rest have
