747 doesn’t have the Point Lead, but he has the Highest Average Finish per Tournament Lead by a mile.
A field of ten made a go of it. Two weeks in a row of a double digit field. Great job everyone! To the action:
We have a habit of treating new players with corrosive gloves – both at NPP and on-line.
On hand #20, Nahanni (10th), in her second start, took another bad beat. By her own admission, maybe she did not play the hand correctly. Anyway, she and BonAir see the flop. [KJ3]. BonAir (K4) calls a smallish bet from Nahanni (AA). The turn has a 4. When Nahanni goes all in, BonAir takes her out.
Hand #33 saw Artic Blast (9th) lose to 747, who had (QQ). I did not see what Artic had and screwed up trying to get the hand number to review. I blame my wife – who was serving me a beer and bring me my slippers at the time – and distracted me. She will have to pay for that.
Hand #40 saw last tourney winner and short stacked Rownder (8th) with (KK) end up all in against 747 (QsTs). The flop of [ 2s 7h 5s] and a turn of 3s – ended the suspense.
Hand #43 saw Matchy (AK) get hurt by a shorter stacked Boother (77). It is basically a coin flip preflop. They get all in and the flop has an A in it. But a 7 on the river cripples Matchy.
Hand #50 sees a short stacked Matchy (7th) (AT) run into the KK of Beerhog.
Hand #65 saw a very rare 3 handed all-in! Hlam (6th) (KJ), Boother (5th) (66) and BonAir (KQs). BonAir hit the straight and wiped out two very dangerous players all at once.
Hand #68, BonAir hit a straight again. Unfortunate for Beerhog (4th), who saw his flopped two pair get rolled.
At the break we had
BonAir 7.2K,
Sev4TSev 6.1K and
perennial short-stacked Nik Faldo 1.5K.
Can Nik pull off a Rownder/Boother type comeback?????
Uhhhh, no.
I (3rd) got a run of high pairs, pairs and high suited cards and went all in about 6 or 7 times in a row, and got my stack close to 3K. Safer ground, but still safely behind. The decent cards continue and I get (44).
On hand #92 my all-ins continued and get called by BonAir (AsTs), who got tired of my little show of force.
Can Nik Faldo win a race for once on Poker Stars???? Uhhhh, no.
A T on the flop AND two spades. Just to rub it in, PS drops a T on the river. Uncalled for. A spade ok – but another ten is just cruel. Time 10:12
At 10:29, BonAir’s FH beats 747’s two pair and the chip lead is BonAir’s at 11K to 4K.
At 10:32, Sev4TSev hits a straight to take the lead 8K to 7K. He never lost it, even though they go at it for quite a while.
At 10:50, Sev4TSev (1st) raises pre-flop and is called by BonAir (2nd).
Flop [Ks 6d 4s]
There are bets and they are all-in.
Sev4TSev (AKs) and BonAir (KT). Trap city.
Turn, A and the unnecessary river card was a 4d.
1st – Sev4TSev
2nd – BonAir
3rd – Nik Faldo
4th – Beerhog
5th - Boother
6th – Hlam14
7th – Matchy
8th – Rownder
9th – Artic Blast
10th – Nahanni
Question: Beerhog is golfing on Tuesday. Is there a better night to do this, like Monday or Wednesday? Thursday and Friday is the weekend. We don’t want that. When we originally voted, Tuesday barely beat Monday, and there are only 3 players who played last night who voted at that time.
Time for a new vote.
Monday, Tuesday or Wednesday? – Nik Faldo

any of those days are good for me. I'm up for raising the stakes too.
Ohhhh. Sandbagging us, eh? (A little Canadian lingo there)
A couple of out of the money finishes at low stakes and then....BAM! You Sev4TSev-Boother-Hlam14-Beerhog-Rownder us all.
I see how you are.
Stakes are one of those tricky things. I would rather have 10 to 20 players where we are, then 5 players at a higher level.
If we ever grow this to 3 tables or so, then we can vote on it. Right now, although I like the trend, are average table is still 6-7 players.
Yes, you can vote for more than one day. I need to know what day of the three will cause you to 4Putt.
"4Putt" is the new definition of a 'no show'.
Websters will be adding it to the dictionary shortly.
Just curious..... but jennifer is from Canada hmmmmmm
our great socialist governor is also from Canada and named Jennifer.......
She wants to start taxing you boys...BE CAREFUL
I still like Tuesdays.
Momo
i kinda like the tuesday thing...it's a habit now!!!
however, if it were to change i'm sure i would adjust just fine!!
Boother
I'm happy to donate my money any of the 3 nights being discussed.
yes Nik...in the first 2 tourneys I played sh*tty starting hands like JJ and AA as a decoy hoping to lure you all into a sense that I am completely beatable. if you raise the stakes, I am only going to play premium starting hands and hope that you all fall into my trap.
;)
wednesday is the only day i can play. unlike the rest of you rich people i have to work late on monday's.
beerhog
Don't let Beerhog fool you! He has more money than Trump and Rosie O'
Donnel combined.
He invented the inflateable date for transgender necrophiliacs. It started out as a 'self-help' project.
For the little on-line weight I carry, Tuesdays or Monday's are fine.
Now having said, fuck Pokerstars.
Herbavor
Is Jennifer hot?
