Nahanni Wins Two in a Row!

Ok guys. Time to man up! The Lady is kicking our butts!

I, Faldo, not only had to burn my Male Chauvinist Card because of this, but I was so traumatized by Nahanni’s win last week, I hit LIMIT instead of No Limit for the tourney.
My mistake, but it really didn’t take any longer - a little over 2 hours.

On to the game:

35 min: BigLou exits (10th), but I didn’t see the hand as we were still at two tables, and I was on the other one.

53 min: Duder (9th) bet all his chips with (A9) pre-flop and was called by McGuiness with (Q9). The flop had a [Q].

That took us to the break and much cussing at Faldo was begun. But Faldo mentioned that it really would not take that much longer than a NL tourney.
Trust Faldo. They didn’t.
Don’t ever doubt Faldo. They did.

Aqualung 3395 (hint: curse held)
McGuiness 2840
ArcticBlast 2447
Nahanni 2165
Mikeniks (Faldo) 1440
Rownder 1403
Sev4TSev 735
Tigercub 575

65 min: A short-stacked Tigercub (8th) bets it all with (A5) and is called by Aqualung’s (JJ). Good night sweet Cat.

75 min: Sev4TSev (7th) has to go with (AT) and runs into McGuiness and his (AJ).

90 min: I (Mikeniks – Faldo) (6th) went card dead since about the 45 minute mark. Shocking, I know. I finally get (AK) to make a stand and McGuiness correctly calls me with a straight draw and hits it. Bubble boy AGAIN for Faldo!!!!

102 min: McGuiness (5th) points as his (A6) runs into ArcticBlast’s (JJ).

110 min: Aqualung (4th) goes out. I was emptying the Heineken - via bladder - that was being forced on me by the waitress in the hotel bar. Damn her!

Not really damn her. I think she has been programmed by a foreign government to over-serve potential WSOP Champions. Not her fault and certainly not mine. How could it be?

2nd Break:

Nahanni 9634
Rownder 4142
ArcticBlast 1224

Anyone catch that WSOP comment? Beer talking.

121 min: ArcticBlast (3rd) has to move with (A4) and Rownder (64) paired his sixes.

130 min: Rownder (2nd) had to go with (A5) and Nahanni’s (T8) got tens on the flop and it was over. Congratulations to Nahanni for two in a row – even with a change in games. Impressive win!

1st – Nahanni 25 pts
2nd – Rownder 17 pts
3rd – ArcticBlast 5pts
4th – Aqualung (6 pts)
5th – McGuiness 2 pts
6th – Mikeniks(Faldo) (5 pts)
7th – Sev4TSev 3 pts
8th – Tigercub 1 pt
9th – Duder
10th - BigLou
Boother 14 pts

Total point race is on the blog.

Good job Nahanni!

Good job to faldo aswell for the blunder!!

And another good job to faldo for the nice little NPP league you got started and run very smoothly each week, well except this last week.

I am sorry to report that the 747 Jet is now in the hangers for good. The old plane just couldn't handle any more turbulence. All the highs and lows really took its toll. But seriously, You won't be seeing myself in the tourneys each week. Poker Stars(FUCK OFF STARS) has frozen my account. I can no longer play. It seem Poker Stars thinks I am not who I say I am, They think I am some DONK! They want me to send in a picture ID. That is not happening. They don't trust me when I say I am who I am, and I don't trust them when they say they won't use my ID for anything other than their investigation. They refuse to say what I did wrong (which is nothing) and only tell me to send in picture ID to resolve this issue. I think this is a piss poor way to treat their customers who have had no problems reported about them or their play. They might be one of the biggest sites, but if they do this to more innocent people, they might not have a site.(one can only hope happens) So to this I say: Fuck You Joker Poker Stars. And you can quote me there.

But on a positive note, I did enjoy playing with each and everyone who has played. This was a cool thing you got running Faldo. Again good job doing all that you do. I would like to wish everyone good luck in the remaining tourneys. Wish I could be there!

sincerely 747

WHAT?!?!?!? doesn't make any sense! they sent you an email or letter indicating that you have to send in photo ID in order to keep playing? why? what do they say when you ask why? Can't you just create a new account? you could call yourself Boeing...??? something doesn't seem right and it would suck that you can't play. I don't think you should give up...I think you should either find out what the hell is up or see if you can just create a new account. is this really because I won 2 weeks in a row? ;)

ITS AQUALUNGS FAULT, BLAME HIM EVERYONE ELSE DOES....I DID NOTICE WHEN NIK HAD 200 CHIPS LEFT AND WAS IN BB SOMEONE RAISED HIM ALL IN AND THEN PROCEEDED TO TRY AND GOAD HIM INTO CALLING BY TELLING HIM WHAT THEY WERE HOLDING.........VERY POOR ETIQUETTE AND ACTUALLY THAT PERSON YELLED AT SOMEONE ONCE FOR SAYING WHAT THEY WERE HOLDING......I KNOW I KNOW, HE WASN'T IN THE HAND BUT YOU WERE SO IT IS ALLRIGHT.......... TO THAT I SAY HOGWASH,,,

PRACTICE WHAT YOU PREACH BABYCAKES...........


RUSH LIMBAUGH

I am at a loss here. 747, keep reading the blog. I might come up wtih plan B.

I think Full Tilt offers private tourneys and I will check Absolute.

Maybe we can run two games. Let me check into it and blog about it.

As you already know, you are always expected to make the NPP / Boother live games.

Ahhhh…I get it…Mr. Anonymous IS aqualung…well that makes all the other posts make so much more sense considering the source. I’m not sure what your problem is…whatever it is, you need to get over it and let it go. As for the situation you are talking about, Mike had 315 chips left and was in the BB for 200 leaving him 115 chips. I made it 400 to go and everyone folded and we were heads up. If you recall a year ago when the speculation issue came up (1 YEAR AGO), I indicated that unless you are heads up in a hand, one should not talk about the hand. This is just common poker sense that I thought was all cleared up last year.

most people on here know who rushlimbaugh is babycakes, THATS MY MONIKER ON ANOTHER SITE..so it wasn't anonymous...so that is all that matters....and I believe if you are going to cry about someone talking you should just keep your mouth shut...

and anyways gents answer this for the lady


say I was also low in chips should she be giving mike an advantage by telling him what she has to help him with his decision on calling or not for all his chips....I THINK NOT............

POOR ETIQUETTE.......

ANYWAY SWTCH UP THE GAME MIKE, PLAY HORSE OMAHA OR SOMETHING ELSE



AQUALUNG AKA rushlimbaugh aka tolly, aka tommytwo tone.........

I agree that both aqualung and Nahanni are right and wrong in a sense...Nahanni was right when she said Aqua should'nt discuss hand if he isn't in it, Aqua was right that Nahanni should'nt discuss her hand in a tourney setting, in a cash game she can talk all she wants to the other player she is in a hand with, BUT Aqua was right in telling her it is not fair to other people that may be low in chips in the tourney to give Mike the unfair advantage if he should call or not for all his chips....thats totally wrong in my book......he may only have one live card you know......

I also see Aqua was very nice in his post but Nahanni still harbors bad feelinsg towards him....

Now knowing Mike and Aqua for as long as I have I think maybe this Nahanni women should maybe just not badmouth anyone on this blog.... I believe she is a friend of Matchy if I am correct, so in a sense the AQUAMAN is responsible for her playing in these tourneys, seeing as he is the one that introduced Matchy to the staple of 15 yr NPP players..........

I think they both should just shut their traps.....that means U 2 Aqua...............

do you argue a lot with the voices in your head?

did you miss the part about being heads-up? I don't know how many times I have to say it...how come you can't understand?

it's sort of much to do about nothing. this is so not a big deal and not anything like what I had an issue with last year. If you felt so strongly about it, why didn't you say something when I said "do you wanna know what I have?". I typed that before I told him...you had the opportunity to say something at that time. Anyway, it was a harmless exchange with Mike and I only said it because I thought it was a no-brainer for him to call (in for 200 with 115 left and forced to be all-in the next hand). 99.999999999999999% of the time I wouldn't even think of telling my opponent what I have...I promise you, that since you feel so strongly about it, I will make sure to not do it again (in that 0.00000000000001% chance that this situation comes up again).

ok snook'ems?

Matchy said...

Boy the NPP staple player has just made me feel a little unwelcome as a newbie to the NPP (compared to you 15 star NPP members). You'd think you would welcome a bloke like me at the games in order to releive me of some of my money. Actually until now I have never felt unwelcome. Technically Mike Niks is responsible for Nahanni being here. He (long ago) invited Tolly who invited me who invited Boother...all along requesting new players to keep this thing going. Don't get me wrong, I like ALL you guys but it seems a little silly to start puffing your chest about a 15 year membership in a club that has a hard time getting a monthly live game together. When was the last time you hosted Mr. NPP staple, and heck why not give us your name?

Anonymous said...

you're right Matchy...Mike is responsible for everyone playing since he started all this (right?). That's funny.

what I don't get is that aqua has said in the past that he was "responsible" for you to join...but then you said Tolly...also in Aqua's second post he also said that he is AKA as Tolly....I'm confused, I thought these were 2 separate people...???

Matchy said...

Tolly=Tom=Aqualung=rushlimbaugh

mikeniks=faldo

matchy=mikemach=chesky

Lots of aka's going on around here. It's been a while since we had a little debate to liven things up as well.

Anonymous said...

So you mean to tell me that when we debated this speculation issue that Tolly's comments were really Aqua's comments indicating that he agreed with himself? wowweeeeee!!!! OMG!!! that is soooo frigging funny! ROTFL!!! All this time I thought they were 2 different people.....he referred to himself in the 3rd person. no wonder I thought tolly and aqua were homos! Tolly heart Aqua. hahahahaha!!!! oh god, too funny! :)

Anonymous said...

wow there she goes with the bad mouthing again...........
anyways I agree mike should of called regardless, it wouldn't be an issue if you just keep your mouth shut........what you did was wrong but like I said I wouldn't care if you hadn't opened your big mouth..................... you just don't do that in a tourney not fair with 5 players left and 2 guys fighting to be in the money....thats my opinion, I see Matchy didn't answer my question, but hey Match you sure chimed in when she complained about me....but thats ok, par for the course.....
I like yanking Nahannis chain I see I pissed her offffffff


hahahahhahahahahhahahahahahaha

The truth Nahanni I really don't care............hahahah

Matchy didn't say anything to you...only to "npp staple player"...so is that you as well?

how did I "bad mouth" you? cuz I called you a homo? I thought that was ok...don't we all joke like that? Hell...the past 2 weeks I've joked with Mike calling him a girl. I mean...I was only joking around cuz I don't really think Mike is a girl...i'm pretty sure you aren't a homo...soooo...???? confused, is joking not allowed snookie wookie wookums? please explain.

Anonymous said...

Nahanni I have been playing poker with Mike since his white whale days and that was in the 70s so so I am more like a 25-30 staple player.......so i guess its not me

anyways like I posted in the white whale post Matchy should't let what others say bother him....

Also nobody answered my question, so that just tells me I was right...they don't want to hurt your feelings.....

bottom line Nahanni you are invited to private tourney keep your mouth shut...........its not fair to the other low stacks a seat or two away from cashing


AQUA out

I already indicated that I wouldn’t say anything (in the remote chance that this type of situation ever comes up again).

I still can't get over the fact that you post separate posts under a different alias supporting yourself in your previous post under a different alias! that is just so damn funny! so do you ever get confused when you are talking about yourself in the 3rd person? I guess it is kinda clever in a weasely sort of way...as long as nobody finds out, cuz then you just look like a real…uh….well…you look anti-clever.

I think it also so funny that you would make a big deal out of this (given that particular situation)...talking about what is fair and not fair...good lord...you were the person who initiated collusion with another player to steal blinds instead of just play poker.

Anyway, it won’t happen again (from me)…and next time you should just speak up at the table.

don't worry Nahanni you won't see me in my brother in laws tourney anymore, the only way I play IS IF you aren't I am sick of your pouting ass and all the shit you talk....I HAVE HEARD ALL ABOUT YOU NUFF SAID......

also anyone who is anyone knows who goes by bthe moniker of RUSHLIMBAUGH........

I AM DONE TALKING TO YOU....

like I said mike if she makes it into your so called championship you can give the seat I earned to someone else.....

"pouting ass" and "shit talk"...??? huh? I don't understand. what are you talking about? give examples. you're not going to play because of something I said? like what? the only exchange we have ever had was the whole speculation issue last year and this current dialog...right? So I don't know what you are saying. makes no sense to me. plus I thought you said that you didn't care...and I quote "The truth Nahanni I really don't care............hahahah"...you JUST wrote that yesterday...and now you are quitting npp? well...I guess that is your decision.

Hey Mike, do you think I should revise the stat spreadsheet to remove Aqua and 747? I still don't know why 747 doesn't start up a new account or persue the photo ID further. that is just crazy for PS to demand that...I don't understand why they could demand that. 747...isn't there something that you can do?
