Faldo Ties for 1st at Matchy’s Tourney

Matchy had a card game at his house Saturday night. I would recommend highly that NPP’ers in the area take advantage of a fun, relaxed, laid back night of poker.

The format was identical to the old Nik’s Poker Palace format – except for:
 the tournament was played before the cash game. NPP always had the cash game til midnight or 1am, and then a quick SNG tourney ended the night.
 The cash game had a standard 1-2-3-4 betting pattern, where Matchy’s cash game max bet increased every two hours (3 max – then 5 max – then 10).
 Matchy has tournament and cash chips. NPP used the same chips for both.
 NPP used standard playing cards, Matchy uses plastic cards.
 Both games were dealer’s choice but NPP used a “dealer antes” while Matchy uses a small/big blind style.

The tourney had eight players with Faldo and “Jason” splitting the top two spots.

Seven stayed for the ring play. Faldo suffered a small loss in the cash action. Matchy appeared to be the big winner when Faldo headed home.

The Tuesday NPP’ers were Faldo and two ex-NPP’ers – 7Jokers and of course the host Matchy.

FYI – Matchy is not considering a return to on-line play because he just “can’t get into it”, while 7Jokers is considering a triumphant return to Tuesday night.

Myself, Tim (747) and Dennis played until 3 am. In the end we basically traded chips for a few hours and all 3 of us finished as winners. I was not on my game last night as I misread my own hand at least 2 times. I think I was a little too "relaxed" from Mr. Jack Daniels. I really like playing in these home games however. Pretty soon I will annonunce a garage game since it is warming up, hopefully some of you other local guys can make it over.

Doesn't fit with the game last night, but Faldo has now visited 274 on-line poker sites.

Nik,

Are you sure it's not 274 on-line porn sites?
