NPP Old School Returned at Matchy’s

Jennifer Walcott loves herself some Niks Poker Palace.
Beerhog had a poker Jones. Oh, and - a rare these days - hall pass.  
Beerhog is starting to get those hall passes about as often as Davethedog – which is close to never.
Usually they now get about 2 a year and still have to both be home when the bracelet around their junk shocks them.
I think these two went to the same place to get neutered. That is a post for another time. I digress.
Beerhog, Faldo and Matchy rounded up some players from the old NPP limit poker days, and the Matchy no-limit days and had an old fashioned limit poker game!
It was a great time and it was nice to go back to the times when you could sit back - drink a beer (or 10) - and see a flop - without a great starting hand. Faldo even played more than his usual 2 hands an hour. Faldo got crazy and got all the way up to ………..3 hands an hour! Obviously Faldo was drinking heavily and playing like a maniac!
The line-up was Matchy, Gridlock, Dan the Man, 95corolla, Thai Food, Faldo, Beerhog, Greg and Greggst.
The one thing we forgot to do was the closing No – Limit Holdem tournament to close the night. In order to satisfy the No – Limit players, the old NPP added this wrinkle.
We would play limit until midnight or 1am or so, and then close the night with a No – Limit sit-n-go. That gave the No Limit players their fix and as players got eliminated, they would head home. Not a bad system.
Maybe next time……and I think there will definitely be a next time. Thanks for hosting Matchy!

It was a pleasure to host and great to see everyone! Got a text from greg in the morning that simply said "Damn whiskey". He thought we ended NPP games with a slumber party!
Matchy out

Wow, Beerhog had another hall pass? He must of been saving that one since the golf outing last year.
