Incredible Hands...

... just kept coming... and coming at Wednesday's home game. Pocket Aces hit ten times, and that's no exaggeration - we started counting after they hit for the third time!

We also had numerous pocket Kings, Jacks, Queens and Tens.

Renzo is definitely back, he was on top form in the first game, aggressively building his chip stack with dogged determination.

The fish was also in fine form, sucking out flushes to beat pocket pairs and flopped pairs, much to the chagrin of the brat.

The brat had to re-load three times in the re-buy period making him more determined to win.

Lethal took me out by sucking out a flush, fish-style and Kermit and Fish were out soon after.

The brat was out third, leaving Renzo and Lethal in the heads-up. I thought we were up for another long session of Renzo's luck, as Lethal kept jamming straights with one card or pairing low cards.

In the end though, after a bad call from Lethal, Renzo took it down, really clawing back his cash stats.

The second game saw me re-buying twice in quick succession when my pocket pair was beaten by an overcard and then again when Renzo's 10s held against my Ace, Queen.

I was almost out completely after the re-buy period, again to Renzo, but clawed back some chips when my Pocket Aces converted into a full house (Aces and Kings no less).

Kermit nearly took me out with, yes, pocket Aces, but my flopped pair turned into two pair on the turn and I doubled-up.

Pokerbrat was on top form after re-loading during the re-buy period and just seemed to suck up chips. He took Renzo out with a better kicker when they both flopped a King and then Kermit, calling his two paint cards with 8, 2 and pairing his 8!

The Fish and I had less than 100,000 chips between us, putting the brat on more than 170,000 chips. The last thing we needed was for the brat to put either of us out.

I took a slug of chips off the Fish before the Brat took him out completely, leaving me with 30,000 chips to the brat's 200,000+!

I doubled-up, putting me back in contention, but the brat's aggressive play and the 4000/8000 blinds had me bleeding chips back down to 50,000. I needed to double-up and quick.

I'm dealt King, Queen in the big blind and the brat moves all-in. I take my time and I hate being in this position. Any Ace and I'm in big trouble.

I call and the brat turns over Ace, 8. The dead man's hand.

The Fish stayed to deal and he lays out the cards.

The first card is a Queen - Good times.

Second card is an Ace - Bad times.

Third card is another Queen - Hard on!

The turn is another Ace, giving the brat Aces Full and me an inferior Queens Full... BASTARD!!!

To be fair, the brat went in with the strongest hand and the best hand won.

AMAZING poker tonight and amazing run of cards.

In the grand scheme of things, the Brat is now in first place on the leaderboard and is the man to catch.
