NOTES FROM SNIPER

BRC Members
1.  Thanks to all members who made the trek to Mosman on Friday evening.  It was a most enjoyable night, as always.
2.  It was great to have Punter in attendance again, although I don’t remember hearing him say “how much can I bet?”, which had been longingly anticipated by the membership.  Anyway, he looks very well and chipper (in a pink shirt), which might be partly due to those heavily tattooed women at Port Hedland.
3.  Developer and Rok were both very much missed on this occasion – we would undoubtedly have had an even better night if one or both had been able to attend. 
4.  Thanks from the host to all who brought “goodies” along to the event.  I especially thank Mav for bringing both savoury pastries AND a Greek dessert (bougatsa).  Robyn and I are still happily making our way through the “leftovers”.  The bottles of red wine were excellent, as always, and I seem to have “scored” quite a few leftover beers as well.  Thanks to the “donors” – I can assure you they won’t go to waste!  I had a number of supplies (of the sweeter kind) which I didn’t get around to producing and I am aware that others had some as well.  Apologies for not putting them out – perhaps I’m a bit of a disappointment as a host.
5.  Banker brought new supplies of Mount Victoria honey for those of us who enjoy the bees’ nectar – very much appreciated.
6.  Congratulations to Banker on his various property dealings which were apparently most successful.  Will future Banker-hosted BRC meetings be held at St Peters or Mt Victoria?
7.  My proposal to amend Clause 13 of the Constitution was approved by the membership.  Clause 13 now reads –
    13.  Structured Betting Game;
    Each playing hand anti-up of $100 per player followed by four rounds of betting as follows.
    1st Round of betting:   The first player after the dealer may check or start the betting at $200, the next player may bet at the value of $500, the betting is then capped at $700 in total.
    2nd and subsequent rounds of betting:  The first active player after the dealer may check or start the betting at $500, the next player may match or raise the bet at the value of $500. The betting is capped at the 3rd raise at 4 times the betting value of $500 ($2,000) for 2nd and all subsequent rounds of betting.
8.  And so, to the card playing –
  •         Banker persisted for the entire night with what was in effect a form of strip tease – with many strip cards but also the requirement that each player still “in” at the end of the game use all of the remaining cards in his hand, or no cards if they had all been stripped.  I managed to win twice with no cards left in my hand (the winning hand being entirely comprised of community cards), and even raised with no cards in hand, which I believe is a first!
  •         BB used “triangle” games on a number of occasions, but unusually they usually actually worked OK.  The only controversy that arose during the BB triangle games was confusion as to whether the multiple alternative wild cards applied only to their respective lines or the entire triangle.  In the end it didn’t matter as it had no bearing on the result.
  •         Prof actually won while holding a pair of aces (bullets) in his hand – most unusual.
  •         Punter made use of a “terminator” card on a number of occasions, with mixed results.  Regrettably, in one instance I was terminated.
9.  I can’t remember the end results but I seemed to do quite well in the first half of the evening (up to the coffee break) and then faded a bit thereafter.  We will have to wait for Jagger (The Oracle) to produce the scorecard presenting the final outcome.
10.  Other than that, I look forward to catching up with everyone on 13 December at BB’s place (advice for Developer – the suburb BB lives in is called Lugarno - L U G A R N O) for BRC XCIII {93}; regrettably, I assume we won’t see Punter this time.
 
 
Best wishes and regards.

NOTES FROM TC JAGGER

Dear BRC members
 
Please find enclosed the results of the meeting of Last Friday at Sniper’s nest.  Again many thanks for Sniper hosting a very successfully event. Nice to see Punter in a “rosy” and in a “buoyant” manner.
 
Results, 7 players , the 5 positions ending in a positive position.
 
  1. Sniper in First place consolidates his position in further. 45 points 9 points clear of 2nd. This is his 3 win of the season. A new record. Impossible to overtake him unless he does not turn up for the next game and the second position holder wins the next event. !!!!. Sniper only needs to turn up and he will be declared the 2019 Champion.
  2. The professor 2nd for the evening  moves to 34 points , in 4th position overall. Best he can achieve is 2 position for 2019.
  3. Punter a respectable 3rd position for the evening, collects 8 points for the vent ( first points for 2019) and as he was proxy for Developer, he also collects 8 points and moves to 22 points and hold 6th overall.
  4. Banker just piped by Punter ( only $300 worth chips difference) collects 7 points and moves to 36 points 2nd overall.
  5. Maverick kept his head above water with a positive result,  while collecting 6 points for the evening moves to 30 points overall , a respectable 5th position.
  6. TC Jagger 6th for the night , collects 5 points, but continues to hold equal 2nd position on 36 points with Banker.
  7. At the rear Big Bluff, which looks like did not have a great evening still managed to collect 4 points to move to a total of 15 points, holding 8th position.
 
So looking at the score and on the assumption that Sniper turns up in the next game (at Lugarno) collects the 2019 Championship. 2nd and 3rd positions are still up for grabs , with only TC Jagger, Banker, The prof and Maverick fighting for those key pole positions. Only 6 points separating them.
 
Good luck to all in the final game.
 
TC Jagger
