The Deck Drinkers' Reunion
The Nemesis returned for the Deck Drinkers' Reunion & Battle Royale. He suffered his first loss of the year, finishing one dollar down. Mitch's two dollar derelict win lifted him to a tie with Speed for an eight dollar first-place finish, and an eight dollar loss left Doctor Doom holding the loser's trophy. The evening was warm but highly entertaining. Our Boy Wonder launched a humorous diatribe against players who talk inattentively through his announcement of the game being played, and your chastised host happily applauded and supported him. He was right. Now, if we can get our friend to announce his games when he actually starts dealing them, we won't all need to sit endlessly staring at him in silence or listen to him announce that he hasn't announced it yet. ;) Good times.

Go, Dude. It's Your Birthday.
The Dude returned to enjoy a pre-birthday music mix, a manspace celebration*, and a pre-derelict first place finish. A two dollar derelict pot lifted Doctor Doom to a tie with the birthday boy as both players ended five dollars up. (Doom is now positive on the chart.) The first-to-last phenomenon knocked Choo-choo down ten and left her appreciating the trophy's absence. It was a good night. Four regulars and two guests enjoyed themselves thoroughly while the guests' growing experience was evident: the Martian made a dollar; the Mohican lost five.

* "Wait. Are we not doing phrasing anymore?"

Train on Track
There was a guest but no "parachute" as Our (Mohican) Guest had good cards and played them well enough; he finished a respectable second at five up. The night's big winner, Choo-choo, was in first even before collecting a three dollar derelict pot; she finished the big winner at nine up. Bad beats are a normal part of every game, but this week seemed unusually painful. A number of regulars commented on how often great starting cards turned into punishing traps. The newly dethroned Pirate-King-turned-Cabin-Boy, Speed, suffered the indignity of a fifteen dollar loss but took it with grace. He'll host Mr. T for a week and see Ray Gun take over first on the chart. The Train suggested sending Speed to share his acerbic wit with the AIPC North crew, but truth be told, his verbal "flow" was entertaining but always sportsmanlike. Once again, a good time was had by all. (Also, one of your Padre's predictions is coming true. Check out Mitch's climb up the chart!)

Piracy Unprecedented
The second annual Black Tot Day & Battle for Pirate King was wild. Last year's Pirate King Speed seemed likely to retain his title as four regulars and the returning Professor X watched the game build toward a crescendo of tightness. Before the derelict booty was distributed, Speed and the Professor were the "big winners" tied at one dollar up. The loser's trophy teetered between Doctor Doom and your Padre, both just two dollars down. In the middle, dead even, stood Mitch. The deck ran red with blood. Your Padre's derelict hand, after counting three cards deep, lost to the good doctor's also unpaired hand. Trophy: Padre, at two dollars down. Mitch's two dollars of derelict booty cannonballed him from even into a (two dollar!) first place finish and a new title. The Pirate King is dead. Long live Captain Mitch, the Pirate King! Insanely fun.

Warm, But Oh So Enjoyable
Five regulars and a good guest enjoyed a night on the deck that was a little warmer than ideal but a little less smoky than anticipated. The smoke around the table came mostly from some excellent cigars. The play was solid, so good that any minor lapses in focus had consequences. After a two dollar derelict bonus for Our Guest, who made the trophy irrelevant at eight down, everyone finished in single digits. Rico and your Padre finished on top at five up. The tight finish came despite straight flushes, including a royal and a wheel, and multiple quads. Smokin' good fun.
