Thanks Al, Brent, Cam and all who helped make it happen. Had a great time. Was running fairly well and was poised to make a push until my 1010 AI PF got rivered by AJo and was crippled. Out just before we collapsed to three tables.
Such is poker. Was fun though. I haven't played live in a while and I was lucky to be at a table with some good people. Thanks again.
Good time as always Brent, Cam and Al. I really never got anything going, got 42K and one point but that was it, finished 22nd. Good news was Helmuths Mole waited for me to bust out so we could play our scheduled Bristol HU semifinal. Thanks for that Chris, appreciate not having to drive to Cambridge or KW on some other day to get it done. Details of that in the Bristol HU thread.
I had fun as well, had my pocket kings busted by 57off all because of an "ooops" call when he thought I limped But I made my money back in the cash game so all is well! haha Thanks for running it, lots of awesome people and the only person I talked to was ddmilcan or oilcan or something who was beside me at the cash game for a bit
What a great day !! First off, thank you Cam, Brent and AL for making the day run very smoothly. It is quite a chore to keep that many poker players organized but you guys made it look easy.
Everyone I played with today was awesome !! No attitudes, no arguaments, all great fun. And Happy made the final table, he was, as always, very entertaining to play with. As for results, I played short stack for most of the day until the final table when I had, at one point, 1/3 of the chips in play.
When it got down to three players, we agreed on an equal chop as we all had about the same amount of chips ($500k).
Again, great day, good poker and awesome people. See you at the next event (I think its AJ's on the 6th of November)
West Side Poker comes back strong . . . as if there was any doubt. A great day of cards, and a great chance to meet up with some internet friends . . . Thanks to all involved in a great day of poker.

It was a great day. West Side returned perfectly! Al was a great TD, and Brent and Cam both had things well under control. It was great to see everyone again, and hope to see you all soon. Can't wait for the next West Side event.
Big ups to Brent and Al for a great day! Even though there was one major hiccup (no bar??!) they still brought off a great day of poker for everybody involved. It was great to put a few faces to CPF names. I even managed to wrangle into 8th place! Woot! Thanks to Highflyer for cheering me on! Sorry I couldn't go deeper for ya!
I'd also like to thank my fellow dealers for the day. Playing a tournament and dealing every hand is not an easy thing to do, so show them some love! Good work everyone!

Pretty much accurate except that I was NOT late. Also, AJ was incessantly trying to have his chauffer (me) "lose" Garry on the way to the event.
Cash game was very good to the Ching Hillers present. I am thinking of adopting Sid . . . and would almost be willing to sponsor him to deal in the Ching Hill SET next week.
Did have the unusual pleasure of learning a new way to save tournament chips, though, courtesy of a Milton Rock. The move works like this:
Preflop raise, one caller.
Bet/call on the flop.
Bet/call on the turn, but then you muck your cards after dealing the river.
After the river goes check/check, your opponent shows the winning KK, as you realize that your pocket JJ was "expertly" mucked to save chips.
Man, I wish I had of played. I had a wedding to go to and I HATE weddings!
AJs post was awesome!
djgolfcan makes it into the money again? This guy is a cashing machine!
Wetts slept in? Surprised no one has called him a chicken yet.

West Side Poker Club would like to thank everyone who came to our event on Saturday, with out you the players it wouldn't be the great success that it was. As with life there are always suprizes. We get to the hall and find out we are locked out of the basement. This causes some refreshment problems when you are expecting 100 people. Then we were missing a couple of dealers and with no warning I asked Johnnie H and Mario to step in because I trusted their ablity to control the table. We would be grateful to have you both on the list for the next tournament.Thanks to everyone who helped with the clean up along, one guy complained to me someone thru out his pizza box and he still had six slices left.
The results for the tournament as follows for 79 entries:
Ken "Coach" 900.00
Devon "Djgolfcan" 900.00
Dan "Sannitig" 900.00
Adam "Happy420" 350.00
Dennis "Mr. Baseball" 240.00
Graham 190.00
Steve "Hellfire436" 150.00
JohnnieH 120.00
Don "AikiDon" 90.00
Congradulations to everyone who made the money. Also we had two people cash out 600.00 in the ring game.
We are looking forward to the next event in Feb\March in 2011 probably at a new hall.
Thanks again, have a safe holiday and happy new year. Til next time.
I assume this means Adam came up short of the Bounty record?
+1 for the cash game quality, too. One of the big cashes was a Ching Hiller . . .
Yes, i forgot to mention that Happy announced that he was going for the bounty record at West Side which is 14. He took a guy out with a 4 2 flush, put ended his bounty streak when he folded QQ with a chance for 2 more bounties and then was eliminated himself. Record still intact.
Comments
I just woke up.
GL all!
GL and enjoy everyone.
Poor hubby though: not happy to lose a decent stack to K8 even if it is sooooted...but...that's poker.
Looking forward to next time, we will be there for sure.
Curious to know how everyone did.
ttfn,
Tammi

I did want to point out AJ that you're notes are COLES notes. There are way too few spelling and grammatical errors to be COLE'S notes.
Added brag and warning: I sent Cole to talk to Compuease since Cole said he can't sign into the site. Everyone's favorite mis-speller is coming back!!

Thanks for the great tournament and very happy for Westside to be back.
The cash game was great! Went fairly well for most people from the Hill from what I saw. I know AJ and I both were very happy with it
