Went to BK's to play a belated monthly homegame. First game 13 players, two tables, merged at 10. I didn't make a single mis-step. Obviously got AK vs KQ to never hold up. Down to four and everyone is all "let's chop" (3 paid). Even chop, blah, blah, blah. I said no. Even though I was short stack. I didn't come to chop. I like bubble play. I like short handed. I like first place.
So I knocked out BrainMc in 4th. Sorry bubble boy. Now I am the chip leader and I say I will take first and they can chop however they like. But they are all mad. Mad, I tell you. So no chop. We're heads-up. Let's chop? Sure, let's see chip counts. I have double Tim's chips, so I take first place money and he takes second. So I basically won. And got 3 bounties. Score!
Second game, 12 people, 2 tables, was annoying cause half the people were hammered from drinking Sweet Water something or other. Really strong beer. I had tweo in the first game and felt it. They were pounding them down from the basement tap. Yeah, BK has the best basement. With a bar and tap. Awesome.
So the game is real slow and people are just playing awful and it is getting on my nerves. Obviously, I get AK vs KQ to never hold up again and get down to 700 chips with the blinds at 600/300. And I am in the SB. So I triple up and basically see everyone slowly bust out. We're down to four and Chris is unintelligible. He and his tiny bladder stagger off to the bathroom and I say, I've had enough of this, let's chop, I'll take 3rd place money and you 3 chop the rest. We let two people rebuy so there's an extra $40 in the prize pool anyway. They agree and we wait for Chris who is taking his sweet time.
He eventually comes out and starts apologizing for knocking over some 'formula' and breaking it. And it's all over the place and he's so sorry and he didn't do it on purpose and he's sorry and he's really sorry and sorry. What kind of formula? Well it was some sort of bathroom perfume and the whole thing stinks to high heaven. So yeah he wants to chop or whatever cause he's really sorry and sorry and really.
So, I double my buy-in and keep my bounty. I made it to 4th and didn't knock anyone out. Weird. Let's see: $20 buy-in x 2 games and 2 x $5 bounties paid to play. 1st and 4th and 3 bounties (in the first game) = $140 + $20 + $40 + $5 = $205 = $155 profit means 310% ROI. Nice!

Nice job. Apparently, I'm the only person that your good hands hold up against. My stupid 2000 call turned the tide. I agree with you that the bubble play is the funnest.
You weren't kidding about the beer. It was good and very strong. I certainly was feeling it hours later. Normally high alcohol beer tastes like crap, but Sweetwater did a good job on this brew.
