    It was a good win, maybe he is having serious thoughts about the next one.


    Trophy Tournament

    Session 18 Winners

    Jane Smith 1st and Jim Smith 2nd

    Jane was on fire all day.

    Jim managed to outlast everyone but his wife.

    Jon B hung on with no chips and no cards to capture 3rd. Jon also got the award for best 12 game average.

    Ronnie Wilhoit had a good run and went in with the best hand. As happens, it didn't hold up so he finished 4th.

    James Hall got Player of the year for the second year.

    Melissa Shafer also got Player of the year for the second time. Ray was admiring her award.

    Joe got the award for the most games played in the session.

    It was a good tournament and well played by everyone.

    I really enjoyed it and hope the other players did as well.

    Christie Reinig was the last woman at the tables so she got the bracelet for best female player, then she finished 4th overall in the tournament, very impressive play. That's showing them women can play!


    Doc Jones what can I say!!  He was jumping up and down and so was everyone else, the only person that didn't want him to win was the one (Danner) he was heads up with in the tournament and I'm not sure about that one either.

     Doc has been with the league since the beginning (5years) and has been one of the best ambassadors for our league.

    Great Play Doc.


    The play in the Bracelet Tournament was some of the best we have seen in the last 5 years. Everyone was serious about their game. Dealing gave me the chance to see some of the best plays, great lay downs and super calls.

    Thanks to all the players for a fine tournament.

     

     


     

     

    Rules at the Table

    Lets go over some of the rules and common courtesy at the poker table.

     The Tennessee Poker League tries- to the best of our abilities- to stay with the rules that  the WSOP and other professional groups play by.

    All poker rooms in casinos are now smoke free. We started that last year and with few exceptions it has worked well.

    Phones are not allowed at the table during a tournament. They are allowed in cash games, however--you will be dealt around if you are on the phone and your hand will be declared dead if you answer it after you have cards.

    Discussing the board is something that should not be done. If you were playing in a cash game and it had a bad beat jackpot the house could call the hands dead if someone at the table was talking about the flop. Besides that--you give the players the unfair advantage of your thoughts of what is possible. Perhaps they had not seen the same thing or the possibility of the hand.
