...Also known as Week 16 Results We finished the year with 25 players, including my son as a visitor :) He was the third Jeff, and had a great time but terrible cards. Thanks for making him feel welcome, everyone! We welcomed back Tom Goeschel, who brought his delicious chocolate-covered peanut butter Ritz sandwiches (PBRs) and Megan Player, who brought a box full of delicious homemade cookies. Kristy Haught also brought a yummy treat, but I didn't get to have any of those. We also had a dead-die for places 3-4. Both John Morch and Bill Hubbard had the same points, games, spread, and plus points. As they did not play each other, the final tie-breaker is a "one game playoff". As it was after 10pm that night, neither gentleman wanted to do that. They were given the choice of cutting a deck or pooling the prize and splitting it in half; they opted for the latter. I think that's only the second time I can remember having to go to a tie-breaker. I'm sure it happened more in our club, but not in my memory. Larry Phifer took 1st with a 15 / 7 / 114, and with that, the lead in the club. Frank Abernathy took 2nd with a 13 / 6 / 50 Bill Hubbard and John Morch both shared 3rd with a 13 / 6 / 45 Jerry Gooden took 5th with a 13 / 5 / 111 Tom Goeschel took 6th with a 12 / 6 / 35 First Team: Kelsey Jobe (12) Jeff Raynes (11) Second Team: Liz Henderson (10) and Glenn McMahon (8) Third Team: Pete Amacher (10) and Kristy Haught (8) Here is the top 10 with these results added. For full results, you can check our club standings on cribbage.org. Frank Abernathy had a full house, 5s full of Queens John Morch had a full house, 9s full of 5s Bill Hubbard had a full house, Aces full of Kings Jerry Gooden had a full house, Aces full of 7s Tom Goeschel had two pairs, Queens and 10s Steve Podolski had a full house, 7s full of Jacks Megan Player had a spade flush, Queen high Ernie Hodgson had a club flush, Jack high Joe Greiner had a straight to the 9 Fran Ward had a full house, Kings full of Queens Kristy Haught had two pairs, 10s and 3s Mike Due had a full house, 7s full of 9s Bernard Whitfield had two pairs, Kings and 3s Liz Henderson had a full house, 7s full of Jacks Glenn McMahon had a pair of 8s Jennifer Johnson had a club flush, King high Well, that's it for 2023.
We will reconvene on January 8th with Rocky Mount and Megan running the show. I'll be back January 15th. I hope everyone had a magical Winter Solstice, and if you celebrate Hanukkah, Christmas, Boxing Day, Kwanzaa, Zarathosht Diso, or something else, I hope the holiday is (or was) full of family, friends, and love. Happy New Year to everyone; may next year bring you health, happiness, and swift pegs! ~ Jennifer

As we inch closer to the Holiday Hiatus, we had 22 players this week, paying out 5 places and 3 teams: Roger Doenges took 1st with a 15 / 7 / 96 Frank Abernathy took 2nd with a 14 / 6 / 108 Jeff Seidenstein took 3rd with a 13 / 6 / 70 Larry Phifer took 4th with a 13 / 6 / 22 Bernard Whitfield took 5th with a 12 / 6 / 28 Teams: 1st: Jerry Gooden (11) and Andy Wagner (10) 2nd: Kristy Haught (10) and Liz Henderson (10) 3rd: Jeff Raynes (12) and Bob Hewitt (8) Here are the top 10 standings, with the current week's scores entered: So, I've already put away all the cards, so I don't have the full listing of hands this week, but Ernie Hodgson had the best full house of the night, Kings over 6s. This coming Monday, we welcome back Tom (yay) and Megan (also yay)!
We may also welcome my son, who will be home for the Christmas break, and is jonesing for Tom's PBRs :) For our GRNT, I totally forgot about March Madness -- I suppose a sports bar during college hoop playoffs is NOT the place for a day of cribbage. We can play anytime after Christmas, actually, but I'd like to target February or later. Joe let me know about Canes' home games in March, and I know Virginia Beach is in February on Superbowl weekend, I have a tournament in April, the cribbage cruise is in April, and Reno is in March, so we'll avoid those weekends. Right now I'm thinking about Saturday, February 17. I know there's lots of college ball that weekend, but there is lots of college ball EVERY weekend for the foreseeable future. But there's no hockey. Of course, this pre-supposes that High Park will let us have a Saturday during basketball season, but they did last year. I think last year we did January, so February shouldn't be too much different. ANYWAY, let me know what weeks after, say, mid-January don't work. Another reminder, WE DO NOT PLAY ON CHRISTMAS DAY OR NEW YEAR'S DAY Also, January 8 I will be in Atlanta, so Rocky Mount will be bringing the supplies, and Megan will be helping out (shoulder allowing). See ya'll Monday! ~ Jennifer Well, not really a fortnight -- I mean, if we played for 2 weeks straight, I'm sure someone would end up with, um, for example, an abundance of paper cuts or pegs stuck in their face. But we've completed 14 weeks of the season. And the winter holiday season is upon us! We had 20 players on Monday, meaning we paid out four places and three teams: Larry Phifer took 1st with a 16 / 8 / 147, bringing him to within 15 of top-of-the-club Jeff Raynes took 2nd with a 13 / 6 / 79, bringing him up to 4th place in club. Jennifer Johnson took 3rd with a 12 / 6 / 8, inching her up to spot 8 in the top-10 and Frank Abernathy took 4th with a 12 / 5 / 70 First Team: Fran Ward (12) and Brian Wilson (9) Second Team: John Morch (10) and Kristy Haught (10) Third Team: Joe Greiner (11) and Ernie Hodgson (9) Here are the top-10 after this week's numbers were added.... Frank Abernathy had quad 4's winning the pot. Jennifer Johnson had a spade flush. Ernie Hodgson had a straight to the King. Joe Greiner had a full house, 5s full of Jacks. Kristy Haught had trip fours. John Morch had a diamond flush to the Ace. Fran Ward ha a full house, Jacks full of Kings. Bernard Whitfield had a full house, Jacks full of Queens. Jerry Gooden had two pairs, Aces and 9s Andy Wagner had a straight to the 8 Glenn McMahon had a full house, 9s full of 3s We need to think about scheduling our GRNT. I'm thinking one of the Saturdays in March. Let me know your no-go dates, and I"ll do my best to accommodate. We can play up until April 30.
Also, Tom is having another minor procedure on Friday, so please keep him in your prayers. He hopes to be back among us on the 18th. Megan is also doing better, and hopes to be back with us soon! Have a great rest of your week; see ya'll Monday! ~ Jennifer |
