The Sat morning Guts Poker welcomed a new player to the game: Josh C, fiancee of Jess G, in addition to Dave S, Marianne U, and Ryan D. Jess continues her lucky streak, putting together 4 Queens with the help of a Wild Card. Nice work and effort all around.

Before the storm, CFC is prepped to have the weekly Guts Poker game. One the twenty minute timer goes off, its a mad dash to complete whatever exercise is on your card. In the following shots, Rob J is Push Pressing, while his son Bill is rowing next to Kathy K. “Iron Mike” does battle with his nemesis – the Box, while Rob moves onto ManMakers and Amy tackles Dumbbell Squats. “Iron Mike” grinds his way through KB Swings, while Rob guts out some more Push Presses and Bill gets in his Box Jumps [Read More] …

The Saturday morning Poker game was in high gear, with Amy F, Kathy K, Larry C, Rob V, Marianne U, Paul D and Jen L wheelin’ and dealin’. After 20 minutes of organized mayhem, Rob J was his first pot, with 4 Queens. Blood, sweat and tears all around. Congrats Rob, well done.

The Saturday 9:00 Guts Poker game had our web designer Brian V, Jen L, Dave S, Amy F, and Marianne U pony up. After 20 minutes of everything (when was the last time you had to do “Zercher” squats with a sandbag?), Jen L walked away with a cool $5 in hard cash and a mouth watering Paleo kit (yummy!).

We may have to change the name of the game to Stud Poker if this continues, as all nine “player” today were guys! These studs (Paul D, Rob J and his son Bill, Larry C, Mike D, Matt G, Eric B, John “The Urbanator” and Our Man Dan B) went after it, and when the dust settled, Eric and John each held Royal Flushes (any time you get a “double” — same exact card, as we use several decks — you may play the double card as a Wild card). So, we had Sudden Death: each cut to a card, with the high card winning the $9 pot [Read More] …

The Saturday 9am Guts Poker was wild, even without regulars Marianne, John, Dave, and Jen. In no particular order, Mike R, Justine L, Eric B, Kathy K, Amy F, Rob J and Dave S threw in their dollars, and the game was on! When the smoke cleared, and the breathing subsided, Eric B (who claimed this was his last met-con of 2010) played a full house and walked away $7 dollars richer and a Paleo Kit healthier.

Saturday, December 26th was another cut throat Guts Poker event, in which Rob J, Kathy K, Brian V, John U, Amy F, and Marianne U threw down. With Herculean effort and a little luck, John U took another Paleo Kit and pot home with him, playing 4 Kings (one wild card in there) …

The pace was furious and the participants (Kathy, Amy, Jen, Dave, Jess, Marianne and John) frantic: 20 minutes of CrossFit frenzy! After the rowers were rowed, the kettlebells swung, the dumbbells squatted, the medicine balls thrown, the barbells hoisted, etc, Marianne took the cash and Paleo Kit with a Full House. Nicely done!

A 20 minute mash-up of CrossFit exercises, poker and prizes! Everyone is welcome!
