2010-2011 season is underway!
We had 9 players Friday night... not bad for the middle of summer! Hopefully this bodes well for a lot of games and good times this year. The $30 buy-in event featured the following players:
Seat 1: Ian B. ($45)
Seat 2: Mike C.
Seat 3: Dave Ck.
Seat 4: Tim M.
Seat 5: Dave Cl. ($85)
Seat 6: Tom H.
Seat 7: Dave T.
Seat 8: Bob T. ($140)
Seat 9: Aaron B.
After four-and-a-half hours, Bob emerged victorious over Dave Cl., and Ian took third. The host and author of this blog drank too many of Ian's homebrews to make note of any interesting or pivotal hands.
Ian will retain his "King of Donkeytown" status for at least one more game, while Dave Cl. moves up to 2nd, knocking Tom down to third, while Bob's win puts also him within reach (as well as make him the early-season money leader). Official standings will be posted next week.
Thanks again to Ian for sharing the Mr. Beer samples! Looking forward to seeing a few of you at Jeremy's next week!

Final Season Results
Ian B. is the official money champion for 2010-2011, making an overall profit of $330! This does not include side bets or "high hand" contests; otherwise his total would be more like $16,275. Donkey. I mean, congratulations!
Tom H. finished a close second place for the season, finishing +$328.
Dave Cl., on the strength of his Corky Cup victory and another early-season win, was third overall at +$277.
Jeremy J. finished at +$170 for fourth place, while Eric H. (+$36) and Ken M. (+$5) were the only other two players to finish in the black for the year.
The slate is now wiped clean for 2010-2011. However, I have begun a running "King of Donkeytown" formula, which goes off of the same money results, but weighs recent games more heavily. The formula is not overly complicated but I'll decline to post it here. Ian is the current King of Donkeytown.
There is no monetary prize for being the season money champion or King, but the current King will have his picture graced on the top of the Donkeytown blog. Hail Ian!

2009-2010 Season Finale
On Friday, June 25, we christened New Donkeytown!
Five players joined in the action for two $20 games: Ian, Tom, Dave T., Mike C., and Jeremy.
In the first game, after Mike had the chip lead but declined a 2-way chop, Jeremy came back to win first place and $60, while Mike took $40 in a "mini-chop."
In the second game, Dave T. took top honors for $70, and Ian finished second to win $30.
For the season, which included 11 nights of poker over the last 10 months, that put Ian TWO whole dollars behind Tom for the money title. Even though it was already getting late, Ian and Tom decided to play heads-up for $2 and the official title.
Ian took almost a 3:2 lead after quite a few small pots were played between the two. The critical hand played out when Ian had KQ and Tom had Q8. On a board of KQxAQ, Ian had made a full house to Tom's trip queens. Ian made a large bet on the river, and Tom called, leaving him crippled. A couple hands later, Ian made a small suckout on a preflop all-in to end the game.
We had a lot of fun over the last year even though 11 nights of play is a little too few and far between for this reporter. I believe that we once played 25-30 games a year. I know that many games is not very realistic these days, but my goal is to play 18 games in the 2010-2011 season, beginning (hopefully) with a game before July runs out!
