Rjmech Wins the 2012 Player of the Year Tourney

NPP's Big Blind and Small Blind girls wait for the winner, Rjmech!

Rjmech took care of business tonight with precision like play. Congratulations on a job well done.

It’s tough when you play all year for a seat in this thing, and it can be over in the turn of a card, as Tomservo2 found out. But that is poker.

We were missing Lump2 tonight. It was really too bad Lump2 was not here. He played great all year, and Faldo was looking forward to a full Finals game with all of NPP’s best there.

Faldo, with a bad case of the flu, was pressed into service to fill out the final 6 table. Biggest tourney of the year and Faldo is spaced out on codeine and antihistamines. Nice timing!

And poor LittleRedElf was bowling in his league’s first half championship AND trying to win the NPP final - at the same time. How is that for dedication to our league? But tough to play your best poker and pick up the 7 – 10 split at the same time!

Sometimes life gets in the way of poker.

Now, don’ get me wrong! I am not trying to tear down Rjmech’s victory at all. As his destruction of this fine group of poker players shows since he re-joined the league has shown, he is certainly capable of rolling the field at full strength. And the winner never has to apologize for what is going on with his opponents.

It was just disappointing – much like a lopsided Super Bowl – we didn’t have an epic battle like we have had on some regular nights.

On to the action:

4 min: Tomservo2 (6^th) calls Rjmech’s all-in with (JJ) and a flop of [T34] (78%). Rjmech (AT) (22%) butt an [A] hits the turn!

15 min:

Rjmech    3375

T3chlady    1930

LittleRedElf   1560

Mikeniks-Faldo   1515

Pre01    620

18 min: A SS Pre01 (5^th) goes with his pair of Threes, but LittleRedElf has two pair.

24 min: Mikeniiks-Faldo (4^th) sees his (AA) lose to Rjmech’s (7d 5d) with a turned straight.

Faldo had no business calling Rjmech’s all-in. None. Baaaaaad judgement! Faldo knows better too.

30 min:

Rjmech    3533

LittleRedElf   3077

T3chlady   2390

45 min: A SS T3chlady (3rd) has to go with A-high and runs into Rjmech’s pair of Jacks.

Heads up:       Rjmech    7643     -     LittleRedElf     1467

46 min: A SS LittleRedElf (2^nd) has to go with (QT) but can’t catch Rjmech’s (A3).

Congratulations to Rjmech on winning the NPP Player of the Year Tournament!
