Ragged Aces Poker Group

Game #12 was a wild night with 17 players showing up at Peter and Sue’s place in Duval.  Nine players were playing with the Ragged Aces for the first time and a couple might actually become regular players.  Play ran the gambit from the experienced, tough-to-play new comers, to the very in-experience tough-to-read (because he really had ...

On his fourth try getting to the final three of a Ragged Aces tournament, John broke through and grabbed first place.  Congratulations on beating last year's champ, Jordan, heads up! Austin made third place in his first tournament in a long time, and his friend, new player, Sam Winninghoff took 4th.  Clark rounded out the cashes in 5th ...

Jon Leland added his name to the roster of aces in his third game with the Ragged Aces (first game in the 2010 season).  He beat a field of 7 and the big stack generated by Peter ''the Black Hole'' to come out on top and jump into 7th place for the season.  Garrett rounded out the chip winners placing third and becoming the ...

Jordan continues his streak of good poker as he comes back from a short stack to win the first game of the Ragged Aces 5th season.  We had 13 players at the game including two first time players (Jordan's brother, Jason and his dad, Jim).  Jordan ended up beating Christine heads-up with Max taking third and Clark rounding out the cash ...

23 down and 1 to go before the Championship on July 11th.  Jordan hit a miracle 2 out 8 on the river to double up against Clark’s pocket QQ and then ground his way to the cash before pulling a huge upset and toppling Garrett heads-up to take the final Big Ace magnet of the year.  That 2 outer pretty much decided the player of the year as ...

How quickly things can change in one tournament, for the player going from life support to the win (Mike M. “is for Murder”), the player that skipped the biggest game in Ragged Aces history when leading the Player of the Year (PoY) race (Tyler “WalMart”) to find himself in 4th place 10 behind the leader,  and the player that was in 7th place ...

17 tournaments are in the books, only 7 remain before we play the championship in July.  Plenty of opportunity for anyone to jump in, rack up points and earn a top seed in the championship.  Play well, and you may win the Player of the Year award.  But this year’s window of opportunity is closing fast as we move into the final ...

  Congratulations to Erwin for his first win as a Ragged Ace.  He defeated Mike heads-up in tournament #15 on February 21st to earn his first black chip.  Rich “the Revealer” went out third to move into 3rd place on the Roster of Aces only 3 chips behind “Action” Abi and one chip away from becoming only the 3rd Triple Ace.  ...

Snow, snow, snow.  By the time we were ready to start the 11th tournament this year, we had a good 12 inches of snow at my place and we were down to 6 players.  Jordan and Tyler made the trek up from Renton to play with Allan, Christine, John and I.  Tyler had a great run of cards and played a masterful game as he took down the win, ...

The season finished with a big bang as usual with a record number of players playing in our all-day BBQ championship (25).  This is the first year we didn't have a single empty seat for this big game and I want to thank everyone who participated.   It was an amazing day that saw the top four seeds at the begining of the tournament ...
