After much fanfare and arm waving and hoo ha, we settled on the definition of an all in after I was pushed to the edge of a murderous rampage. It was all downhill from there.
Given that Kevin attempted several times in a row to give all his chips away after the cut off, he accidentally won each hand and went on to win. I'm thinking I should almost just withhold payment from that kind of blind luck and shenanigans.
In any case, here are the final results (name-# all ins-moneys spent-moneys won):
10. Brad - 4 all ins - 9$
9. Duncan - 2 all ins - 5$
8. Joel - 5 all ins - 11$
7. Heather - 2 all ins - 7$
6. Alex - 5 all ins - 17$
5. Blair - 4 all ins - 13$
4. Adam - 5 all ins - 9$
3. Coulman - 4 all ins - 15$ - won 10$
2. Joelle - 5 all ins - 9$ - won 30$
1. Kevin D - 8 all ins - 15$ - won 70$
By doing a little visual integration, you will notice the person with the most all-ins pre-cutoff won the game. He was also near the top for spending the most money. This seems to be a good incentive/stimulus to get money flowing in our poker games. Now if only I could count re-buys correctly...
After the weirdest poker game I have ever participated in, the Royal Sampler was finally got, accidentally. After I split a big pot with Heather which I didn't deserve to win, I got rivered in a hand that gave Kevin the royal sampler. However, I would have won that hand if the sampler didn't exist OR if that bastid Fauchoux wouldn't have noticed that the sampler showed up. Long story short, the Royal Sampler themed poker nights died last night, age 7.
Another oddity was the fact that we were 12 dollars short at the end of the night. WTF? I went over it like 5 times and it seemed like everyone paid up, but money somehow disappeared. Props to Brent for understanding and taking up the slack for the shortcoming. If someone did steal the money or didn't properly pay, just remember, God will smite you.
The final result are thus:
1. Brent
2. Nippon
3. Alex
4. Kevin
5. Jon
6. Brad
7. Kerry
8. Coulman
9. Ryan
I will post a picture of the hand that broke my spirit and chances of winning in a short while.
Royal Sampler take 5 failed yet again to reveal any samplers and the theme will be pushed back yet again.
Final results (thanks to my bad beat on Shannon's better straight) were:
1. Blair
2. Shannon
3. Moi
4. Duncan
Loser. Ryan

Saskatoon - AP. In the end, Skill won over mediocrity in the Royal Sampler Poker Night (pt 3). Alex battled through a regular field of 8 other opponents to finish as expected, in first position. Contributing greatly to his winnings were Shannon and Kevin D, who splashed away in the re-buy period to drive up the pot like the Saskatoon housing market. After a tough night's work, Alex walked away with winnings in excess of 64.99$. Full results as follows:
1> Alex - won 65$ ......... 11$ buy-in
2> Brad - won 30$ ......... 11$ buy-in
3> Shannon - won 14$ ...... 21$ buy-in
4> Kevin D ................ 21$ buy-in
5> Ryan ................... 15$ buy-in
6> Nathan ................. 7$ buy-in
7> Blair .................. 7$ buy-in
8> Kevin C ................ 7$ buy-in
9> Brent .................. 9$ buy-in
If the results were plotted on a graph, the general trend would be that the more you buy in, the more likely you are going to finish at the top. So clearly those who excel in the buy-in period need to start getting a little crazy and going mental with their chips. Better luck next time.
