Subject: RE: Poker night
Weekend Update :
We had a lot of no shows, which was expected. We know there are a lot of dependency relationships in who comes and who does not.. Suraj and Family not coming (legit reasons), caused Yella's to skip the night.
Sheshi, as he had communicated earlier, had a guest who was too tired to party. Something tells me that Sheshi's no show is again linked to Suraj not coming (not completely sure though). YesNoYesNoSubir ended up NOSubir..
And lastly, SUNIL.. Of course, he did not give any reasons for the no show… Unrelated to this discussion, heard that the weather in NOVA was better than in RIC. ;)
Winners & Losers:
Doc - As predicted before the night, he won some $$ on Friday (~$60). With the Yella's not around someone else had to win. Lost all in Poker but made his money in the first round of Rummy. Thanks to Ajoy, almost half of the pot was funded by him. Won a lot of money in this round, coz Ajoy pulled a "Ramesh" in this round (i.e. rejoined, and again rejoined, and rejoined.. and eventually lost).
Ajoy - Against my predictions, he was the biggest winner of the night.. Won $25 in poker and had it all in the second round of Rummy. Totally he went home ~$80 richer.
Vikram - Even though he won some money in poker, he ended up being a looser (~$30).. Meager amount in Doc's standards ;) ..
Andy - "The biggest loser" @NBC - Was not in his strings. Without the Yella's around, he was the favorite, but ended up in the red ($48).
I Started off good in poker by winning $8.. Got my $20 back in the first round of Rummy, but lost $20 in the second round. At the end of the day ended up in the red ($12).
Looking forward to the next one..

Subject: Updated: Poker night
When: Friday, January 12, 2007 10:00 PM to Saturday, January 13, 2007 3:00 AM (GMT-05:00) Eastern Time (US & Canada).
Where: 3510 corum dr, apt # 621 .. (Broadmoor Building 6.)
I was corrected, the Raj's had won big once, and heard they were on a shopping spree the next day. Suraj has declined this invitation, as he is not feeling well.
On an unrelated story, the Raj's have cancelled their shopping spree that was planned for tomorrow (just kidding).
Poker night at the Mahankali's .. Come with a lot of cash, so that you can win more :)…
Location: Vikram stays in the next building as that of The Yella's, towards the clubhouse. Call 934-0181 if you are lost coming over here.
My take on the chances tonight:
=====================================================
Yella's : The Yella's have now recorded a 3 week loosing streak.. We all know that, its not whether but when they are going to catch up and recover their losses.. Bet your chips that they are going to go home richer tonight!
Doc: Law of averages does not have a chance here.. He plays big, wins big and looses bigger. Is he going to fund the night again? I don’t think so. But I wont bet a lot of my chips here.
Vikram Mahankali: He lost a Jackson( $20) last week.. Don’t have enough data to call this one.
Ajoy Ranga aka Ajay : One more on a loosing streak. Like Vikram, he too lost a Jackson but had more fun doing that, if that’s anything of a solace. Will he come off this loosing streak? I don’t think so.
Anand: He's never lost any till now, when playing with this group. Will he continue to win tonight as well?? I think so.
The Raj's: If it was just Suraj, I would say that $20 is in the pot for the takers.. But, here's another team that plays by committee and they have not won or lost much till date.
Mr. Bandlapalli: The new kid on the block. Says he plays Rummy well.. But tonight we will be playing poker more, just to make sure that he is not going to take all our money home.. :)
Anil/Sunil aka "THE YAKUZA": They don’t gamble.. Its against their principals. They play good bankers and have fun along the way. We trust them to hold our money and no one else.
Is Anil going to be there tonight? Depends on how much he loves to get away from changing the diapers :) .
Is Sunil going to be there? I plead the Fifth.
Me, Myself and I : I've had a good streak of luck this year, the year of the pink pig (2007 is the year of pink pig in the Chinese calendar). I guess, the "Law of averages" is going to catch up with me tonight.. But again, hoping that the Yella's and Doc play a little scruffy tonight, that would increase my chances.
