Results of our 3rd Anniversary Game

For the final weekend of 2012 we held our 3rd Anniversary game last night. We saw one of the largest crowds in some time, as thirty-nine 'late night degenerates' took to the virtual felt of LuvinPoker for the good times.

At the end of late registration, we had four tables of nine players each. The current chip leader at each table at this time became a bounty. The bounties would go on ImQ1369 on table 1, mr_e on table 2, QueenPea on table 3, and Nynus on table 4. We would reach the first break with 24 players remaining, including all four bounty players.

We would break down to two tables 90 minutes in, with the elimination of polaris16, and still all four bounties were unclaimed. But that would change pretty quickly. Mr_e was the first of the bounties to be claimed when he was sent to the rail by Arwen. Just a few minutes later, ImQ1369 was done in by none other than j "freakin'" regis, who appeared to be what we have dubbed "the pre-determined winner." And in another six minutes or so, SuddenMoves would knock out QueenPea.

We hit the final table right at 2:00 am et, and by the time we went to break at 2;05, we had lost three more players. Our 7th place finisher would be the final bounty, as PantsOnFire sent Nynus to the rail. next out would be our bubble finisher, and LPBatgirl218 would earn that distinction, and a buy-in to the Lock debut game that went along with it. That left five players battling it out for the cup.

therealslomo played a tough game. He was, at one point, in the bb with less than the sb behind. From there he had become the runaway chip leaders five handed. But the blinds were high and the chips were flying, and we would see therealslomo hit the rail in 5th place. Trynot2hate would follow immediately in 4th place after hanging tough for this final table. jregis appeared, to me, destined to win this game, but that was not to be, as he was taken down in 3rd place, leaving Fabolous1 and PantsOnFire heads-up for the title. Fab had the solid chip lead, and he would put it down to win this game for the third time!!

Congratulations to our winner, and runner up!!!

Thanks to everyone who tuned in to us on UStream. The broadcast is a work in progress, thanks for bearing with me  :)

The Impromptu's 3rd Anniversary tonight

Tonight is the 3rd Anniversary of The Impromptu!  I'd like to thank everyone who has been a part of the 154 runnings of this game over these last three years. It truly has been fun hosting this game, and I hope it will continue and go stronger in the future.

Also for tonight's Impromptu I am going to try again to live broadcast from my UStream channel. Joining me will be ziximania, and we will do our best to give you some great coverage and some entertaining banter. We hope you all will listen in during the game tonight. You can listen to the broadcast from the channel window below, as well as from my personal blog page at

12.23 Impromptu results . . .

Last night we set out to do a broadcast show for the Impromptu, and while it didn't work out quite as well as we had hoped, I'm left encouraged and plan to do it again with some much needed improvements. I appreciate everyone who listened in through the static and cutting out and the commercials. The free version of UStream is not the best platform to broadcast from, but a bit better upload connection would have made a huge difference. I'll announce some details going forward after Christmas. Next week's game will mark the 3rd Anniversary of The Impromptu, and we'll have some extra stuff going on.

Meanwhile, last night's game was fantastic. Thirty-one 'late night degenerates' came out to the virtual felts of LuvinPoker for the fun. And while we tried to sort out our broadcast, the chips were a-flyin'. We got to see a few faces we'd been missing of late, including LuckyAssLep, a four-time winner who caught me drawing with his turned set and sent me to the rail empty handed.

WinJStar would be knocked out in eleventh place, bringing us to the final table. There were some strong competitors remaining to be sure, including a five-time winner in widebutt and four two-time winners, fabolous1, ziximania, leanto133, and biggdoggmaxx. These five players would make the bulk of the top six finishers, but they were all topped in the end by spacecase, picking up his first ever Impromptu title!!!

Congratulations to our trophy winners, and a big thanks to everyone for turning up last night!

Watch later in the week for details about our 3rd Anniversary game!

Impromptu results for 12.9 and 12.16

Last week's game saw twenty-seven 'late night degenerates' take to the virtual felt of LuvinPoker to do battle for the Impromptu cup. The final table was loaded with five former winners with twenty-five cups between them, and when it got to heads up action, we had Zixipoo battling against caniac1 in hopes of getting his record tying 9th Impromptu win. But alas, it was not to be, as caniac1 pulled off the victory, his first in the Impromptu, and Zixipoo would settle for 2nd place . . .

Last night's game saw twenty-four players come out for the fun. Last week's winner and runner up were right there at the end in four handed play, but they would go out in the same order as last week, albeit this time in third and fourth places. Heads up play would come down to a battle between Halfcent50 and bcsweetheart, with the latter securing her first Impromptu title!

Late results for 12.2 . . .

Sorry folks, but here's the story from last week's Impromptu . . . . 

We had thirty-two late night degenerates show up for a great game. I found myself crippled early losing to a flopped set with my combo draw, and made my exit near the bottom of the pile. The first hour would see the field cut in half, and by the second break we were four handed.

yoyo1974 would be dismissed as play resumed, and three handed play would run for 15 minutes until ej1609 was eliminated. That left Fabolous1 and 69belette69 in a somewhat brief heads up battle. When the dust settled, it would be Fabolous1 standing alone at the top, winning his second Impromptu title!!!

Congrats Fab on a great victory, and a big hand for 69belette69's runner up finish!!

Results for 11.25 . . .

Another great game with the 'late night degenerates' doing battle on the virtual felts of LuvinPoker this past weekend. This great midnight game never fails to deliver good times and great competition. It's always a pleasure to play with this crowd, and I thank you all for making this game a part of your week.

This week's final table lined up just like this . . . 

PantsOnFire did well to hold on to the chip lead for most of the final table, but LPBatgirl218 nearly wrestled away the win during Heads up play. But it was not to be for Batgirl, ans PantsOnFire would roar back and take her first Impromptu title.!!  

Results for 11.18.12 . . .

Apologies for the wait, but here are last week's results . . .

Twenty-four 'late night degenerates' made it out to the virtual felts of LuvinPoker for that weekly event we know as The Impromptu. Always a great game, this one would be no exception.

Mr. Hawn came to the final table with a sizeable chip lead, and only built on it as the game progressed. And by the time I went out in fifth place, he was holding 2/3 of the chips in play.

With domination like that, it seems only fitting that he would take the final hand, and win hisvery first (I found this surprising too) Impromptu Cup!!!

Congratulations Josh on the dominating performance!

Results for 11.11.12

Twenty-four 'late night degenerates' made their way to the virtual felts of LuvinPoker for another exciting running of The Impromptu. The usual suspects were all there trying to capture the come. Coming off of my win last week, I was looking for a repeat performance as we gathered at the final table.

But Halfcent50 was on a mission long fought for, and he would end my hopes of a tenth win, sending me home in 3rd place. A pretty awesome heads up battle would go on without me, and when all was said and done Halfcent50 was our newest first time winner of The Impromptu!!!

Congratulations Ron on a great finish, and a big hand for Rob for his hard fought runner up finish!!

Record 9th win for curtinsea at the Impromptu!

We had 27 'late night degenerates' join us on the virtual felts of LuvinPoker for this week's running of the Impromptu. Always a good time for sure, and this week's game was another great one. We battled it down to this final table, with HanginAround was holding a monster chip lead when we took our seats . . . 

One by one they fell, and HanginAround held on to his chip lead for most of it. holdempimp69 had it for a time, but HanginAround would take them away from him, knocking him out in 3rd place. So heads up against me, curtinsea, he would have his work cut out for him, because there was no way I wanted to extend my lead in runner-up finishes!

After wrangling the chip lead away, we would see all the chips go in the middle on this hand . . .

The win is my 9th Impromptu title. I'll be looking to notch my tenth before the end of the year, so come and get some folks!!   :)

Results for October 28th . . .

Another great Impromptu went off last weekend, with lots of fun for all! Thirty-one 'late night degenerates' turned up to the virtual felts of LuvinPoker for the good times.

Making a deep charge towards what would be a record-setting 9th Impromptu title, Zixipoo found himself in a Heads-up battle with LeanTo133, only to find himself out-kicked with top pair, and left crushed with very few chips. LeanTo133 would seal the deal and take his second Impromptu title!!!

Congratulations to our winner!!

Results for October 21st . . .

Thirty-one "late night degenerates" took to the virtual felts of LuvinPoker for the weekly romp we call The Impromptu. What a fun crowd of great players we get week in and week out, keeping up the grand tradition that is this game. Just past the two hour mark, we would lose gridlock10 in 11th place, leaving us with this final table . . . 

Despite coming to the final table with a monster chip lead, we would lose nachovasques in 3rd place. This would leave us with a Heads Up battle between biggdoggmaxx and matsuak, both of whom has recently won their first Impromptu titles. They would go at it for a good ten minutes, but it would be biggdoggmaxx taking the final hand, giving him his second title!

Congratulations to our winner, our runner up finisher, and a big thanks to everyone who came out and did battle in the wee hours of the morning. See you all again tonight!!

Impromptu results for 10.14.12

Thirty-six "late night degenerates" gathered around the virtual felts of LuvinPoker this last Saturday night, for another fantastic running of The Impromptu. Always a great crowd makes for always a great game, and this week was no exception!!

We battle it down to this final table of ten top players . . . . 

And it seemed to be ladies night at The Impromptu, with the top three spots taken by the fairer sex. QueenPea would be out third place finisher, to leave wacky122 and msdebbie Heads up for the Cup. After a tough see-saw battle, the chip lead finally would take a firm holding in front of msdebbie, and she would seal the deal on this final hand . . . . 

Congratulations to our winner, msdebbie! And a hard fought runner-up finish for wacky122!  My thanks to all the players who came out this and every week, and keep this game going!

Results for 10.7 . . . .

As always, a wonderful crowd makes for a fantastic game, and this week was no exception. Our competitors battled hard while having a great time, vying for the coveted Impromptu Cup.

But there can be only one winner, and this week's game came down to this final hand . . . . 

with matsuak taking victory over Delta50, and securing his first Impromptu title!!!

Congratulations to our winner, and big thanks to everyone for coming out and making this one yet another great game! See you next week  ;)

Results for September 30, 2012

We had a great game last night, with forty "late night degenerates" joining on the virtual felts of LuvinPoker for another running of The Impromptu. There was a lot of fun going on at all four tables, and the play was pretty good too! There are only ten seats at the final table though, so we would have to say goodbye to 30 players before forming up for this final table . . . . 

At one point, most of the chips were on either side of the dealer, but the momentum shifted to the right, as burkey32 started a run that seemed unstoppable. But I would do my level best to do just that. Unfortunately for me, it was not to be, as burkey32 would take the game on this hand a relegate me to my tenth runner up finish . . . 

A big thanks to all who stayed up with us for making this another great game, with the largest field we have seen for some time. I hope you all had as much fun as I, and make this game a regular part of your poker schedule!

Congrats to our winner, burkey32!!
