Chiptalk New England Classic X (NH vs MA)

Phew...well the weekend is over and I'm eating leftover beans and just got some pics from Trinistand for the outside moments so I could combine everything into one thread. 35 or so pics here so you might want to open and walk away for a minute lol. I will provide my no holds barred commentary as usual. The game rocked and we are now all fully friends at this point. We used to have a "NH vs MA" mentality over the games but now I don't think anyone cares who wins from either state as its become a "friends without borders" kinda game. LOL at friends without borders reference. The game started at 4pm on a Saturday and ended just before 8am on Sunday. Good times. Anyways, on with the pics! Edit: I realize the pics are a bit bigger than I anticipated..given the effort I just made to upload these I'm not in the mood to do it over so I apologize if you have a small monitor. On a large monitor these look great!



At the last minue I decided to cheez up a Poker sign with some garbage I had lying around. I love this sign! I'm bringing it to the town parade on the 4th of July.




The meat guy prepares the wood and ignites away!





Ooooooo DOGGY! Sumthin be smellin' GOOOOOOD out heyah!




With a plate like this...you know he means business!



Meat guy on top of his baby before the heat really kicks in...or maybe it has and he just has a fake bum bum and doesn't feel the heat.



Its Drooling season....steak tips, wings, pulled pork and eva.





Myself and AquamanH20 have no time for camera or chit chat. Just eats!



Matthew 3rd from left...the rest are local Degens' who are itchin' to play. Left to right is Meat guy, Townee, Matthew, Tricky, Bobby Brakes, Noonan, Soup and Petey.



Trinistand and Matthew yuckin' it up as people start to head on down to the basement.



I supplied a nice magazine selection for everyone. All poker except one Nintendo Power, Hustler and a Tattoo mag to throw people off. When the wife came down I slipped the Hustler under the Nintendo Power and it took her about flash fire's amount of time to find it and hold it up and ask "Gee I wonder where this came from?". I LOL'd.






"Olivia's on standby waiting just to say hi....Did we use em? No..we just drove by"




Losers lounge with a little dusty Missile Command and some comfort sit'ns.



Wow! Customized OFFICIAL Chiptalk door prizes! I'm Speechless!



We ended up 26 in the tourney and a handful more for cash later.




We did the Mardi Gras Clays for tourney. Only set that can accompany a large field since both Evil and I own a bunch.



Table 1 of the tourney. Starting with Arrowwood (the hooded guy who is always photogenic lol) and going to the right is me, Irish, Stan, Dolomite128, Duncan the dog, Hynotoad, OMGJamesAiken's brother, OMGJamesAiken, Trinistand and one of my offspring.




Table 2: Matthew smiling at us up front then Pete, Townee, JM, JoseRios, Noonan, Freddy, "I'm not a crook" Nixon, and the back of Bobby Brakes. I had the Tournament director software running and several poker shows from the Tivo playing from the 2004 era of poker shows.


Table 3 with the chiptalk table topper. Trav on the lower left before sleepy night nights, Tricky the Texan, AquamanH20 who was dishing out homebrew all night to guests, Soup, Harvey, Eric the whacko who kept yelling out cursing poems that made everyone go "wtf" then laugh hysterically, then Bentley and the back of Brannock. Some of these guys would love the 4/20 thread lol.



Meat guy pops one open after a job well done.




Dogs...chillin. Wondering who the F is going to serve up pulled pork for them. They wouldn't talk to me for 24 hours after this....



I'm trying to show Irish Se7en what you can achieve by being a lazy poker player...I mean..hello? The gov't called and my guns are needed for immediate deployment!!!



JoseRios got me off a hand with the Ninja!!! Damn Jack-Duece. Ninja history is HERE. He's giving me a karate chop while I sulk in my folded winning hand. Thats it! I'm going loose AggroTard on you Keith!!!!



This is a familiar mood for all...I'm yammering and yammering about what who the hell knows.




Trinistand, JM and Trav are waiting to act and stuff.



Keith looking at the camera. This guy screams "I'm a NIT" but does not play a NIT style. Very deceptive. I'm thinking about having him take me to NIT Warehouse or wherever he shops to get me some deceptive clothes.



I needed a moment with my chips. Everyone please kindly look away. I need a conjugal visit with my stacks!



Trinistand pops it to $15 and smiling. InstaFold. The BJ chick on the TV in the background.





"I haven't done this since high school" Trav proclaims after he stuffs his mouth with a fat lippah LOL. Now that was funny! When in Rome....



I got up to about $800 at the peak of the night. I think I bought in for $799.



Okay...this is when it was getting ugly. We are tired, drunk and playing. Look out the window. "Hi..people are outside and the sun is up and we are still playing cards". Trav is shuffling..sortof. Its like 7am here.



Uh oh....time for night nights! I got Trav up and shifted him to the couch. I went to bed just before 8am and got up around noon thirty.



zzzZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ




Breakfast is served! 1:30pm'ish. Hot sauces, eggs and beans. YUM!



Beautiful day on Sunday. Trav retreats out of the house...we try to get a game going on our street for the day hehehe. El FIN!

Annudah Chiptalk Meetup: June 20th, 2009 - Quincy, MA

So on June 20th we all met over at AquamanH20's for some grillin' and drinkin'. Aqua did a helluva job hosting with good tunes and aaaalllll the fixins! Some old faces and some new faces attended so in the end the army of locals continues to climb. Game ended just before 2am so I was like "what the hell am I supposed to do until sunrise?". But about 20 minutes later I was zzzZZZZZ in the passenger seat while Matt drove us home. Anyways..on with the 17 pics.



Table 1 for the donkament. From left front to right is me, NoelsArchs, Trav and JoseRios. Craig the Hippie is hitting the camera.





Table 2 for the donkament. White shirt front to left is JM, JoseRios friend (forget his name), Matthew, AquamanH20 and Scott.





Make sure you wipe your feet before the donkament!






Phew! I was really excited and felt very warm inside when I saw a redneck bar had been provided for us New Hampshire folk. He even laid the towel out on the washer (a little fancy for me but hey..we're all different).





Durrrrrr...I drink me some beeyah! I love that its called the diamond flush ale and its got the hearts on there. Too funny! Aqua's brew is top notch and I got the closest seat to the tap!





Aqua was rambling all night. He was like a new proud papa hosting his first Chiptalk game!





I don't know WTF is going on here but its pretty funny. Everyone seems to have their own communication agenda. "Who's on first"






Aqua side shot. Very focused...and thats because....





Who the hell is paying attention to the grub! We let the charcoals continue to burn after eating and several hours later here is the end result! The meat guy's heart would be broken if he saw such scandal! Couple burgers..basically flatter than a chip. Some skewers of chicken? Will trade for dice chips.







Hippie and Trav gave a little donation to my wifes walk for breast cancer which is sweet. Not shocking but you'll see plenty of other CT'rs have done as well since they rock and stuff. The back door was open to let in some air. Surprisingly not a single bug came in. At my house, moths the size of bats would be coming in. Here in outer Boston though a couple homeless guys from the World Series of Dice tried to walk in (namely Grits and Gravy with Leonard) but...we put an end to that!





So weird but my new camera has this new "LSD" setting. Shadowing is kicking in dude...wheres my music!






Scott was jacked to hit 3rd place. Totally weird but come to find out his good friend growing up lives in little old New Boston, NH and my wife and I know them. Both wives are walking the 3day together. Small world!





Yeah baby. I raise! Was able to squeeze in one Ninja bluff during the cash game. HIYA!





Matt and Irish smiling because they think we're leaving quickly... Matt is driving me home in my new Honda in the middle...in which the 20 day plates are now 30 days and I haven't registered it yet LOL.





We're attempting to leave but I'm drinking my beer in this small neighborhood and just ramblin and rambling who knows what. I was blitzed and ready to go on... and on... and on... Matt and Irish were ready to deck me.




Can't wait for the mega meat up baby!
