In the beginning.......

Stevie felt that I should create a blog outside of myspace to chronicle the poker stats, comments and general information here for those who don't have a myspace account. So, building on Adam's idea, we'll start one of our own.

I'll duplicate my Admiral's Log posting of our poker happenings from myspace here. That way, those who either don't have a myspace account or not on my friends list can keep up with the poker results from our group of friends. These will include, but not be limited to, our Thursday Night Poker games at Sassy's, the less frequent but oft exciting money games at the B & B, and the occasional game just for fun, when we play Texas & Omaha Holdem, draw, Mexican Sweat, Liars and stud.

So, here are the standings thus far in the new season.


January 24, 2008 - Thursday

Admirals Log - SPECIAL TNP REPORT
Well, tonight was a night of firsts. And rather than list all the players then their finish, I'll just start with the first one out and count down to tonight's winner.

Out of a crowded field of 10, and one of the firsts I spoke of, Killian made his return to TNP with less than a resounding finish. In fact, he was out first and placed 10th with 1 point.

The second player to leave the tables was, surprisingly, Deb. Leaving her with 2 points to add to her total.

Next out was Jake, a friend of Deb and Shane and making his debut at TNP with 3 points.

After combining tables, Shane ended his run with 4 points. Sorry Shane, even though it was your birthday, TNP is unforgiving & birthdays don't get you extra points.

Next was Paul, also making his first appearance in quite a while and out in 6th place with 5 points.

Stevie was next to bow out, still in a slump but improving to 5th place and 6 points.

Another first, at least for '08, Tanner was ousted and to the relief of many only accumulated 7 points to add to his already sizable lead.

And finally, for the first time this year, I was able to penetrate into the top 3.

Making it to head to head competition for the first time this year, in fact in a long time, was Skylar. In fact, Skylar put out several players including Shane, Stevie, Killian and myself. His much needed 10 points will boost him in the standings as his first 2 outings have only netted him 2 points so far and last week he was forced to miss the game due to an automobile accident.

And our final first for the night, making her TNP debut for 2008, winner of 12 points, playing her usual tough game was Crystal! Her first appearance, her first win and first points on the score board will insure she'll be in the running for top spot in the weeks to come.
So, here are the results from Thursday, January 24:


NAME .....TOTAL ....PLACE
CRYSTAL .....12 .....1
SKYLAR .....10 .....2
JEFF ......8 .....3
TANNER ......7 .....4
STEVIE ......6 .....5
PAUL .....5 .....6
SHANE .....4 .....7
JAKE .....3 .....8
DEB .....2 .....9
KILLIAN .....1 .....10
