What do you call in when one guy wins five of the last seven tournaments he entered? Domination is what I call it.
We had eight starters, and engines were on all cylinders this night. To quote Worm after Mike folded his rolled up kings, “Lots of action. Lots of action.” It was one of the quickest 8-seaters we have had.
I started it off I guess on hand #20. I sped up instead of slowing down after the flop with my AA. I got called by both Duder and ArticBlast and the flop was [QTT]. I don’t believe (or don’t want to believe) that either has a T and the straight draw looks bad for me. I stupidly move all in and get called by BOTH of them – as they each have a (T). Unfortunately for the unlucky Duder, Artic also has the (Q). I was not unlucky - just stupid.
Duder and I are crippled, but Duder hangs on for a comeback on hand #30 as he doubles up when Nahanni hits a flop that pairs her (Q) but Duder has (KK).
On hand #33, Nahanni raises and gets called by Duder and Hlam14 (who came back after being away from poker and NPP since May). The flop is [6c Ah 7h] and Nahanni bets the standard three times the big blind {BB}.
She gets raised by Duder and that is called by Hlam (8th), so she gets out of the way. The turn is a [6d] and Duder bets 10 times the BB, and Hlam calls. The river is a [Jc]. Duder (A6) with the full house bets, gets raised all-in by Hlam (AK) with the two pair.
On hand #37, I (7th) go out shortly thereafter as I go all-in with (88) and Rownder pairs his (A) on the flop.
On hand #50, we had a rare double knockout! Nahanni (5th) calls the blind, as does Artic and Rownder., with Boother (6th) completing the small blind. The flop is [5s 9h 9s]. Those pair boards were killers tonight.
Everyone bets and calls a smallish raise from Boother, except Rownder. The turn is the [Qs]. Boother goes all-in {trip 9’s}, Nahanni calls all-in {Q-high flush} and Artic calls and wins with the A-high flush.
On hand #70, Seven4TSev’s (4th) {AQ} runs into ArticBlast’s {AK} and that took us to the break.
Rownder 5695
ArticBlast 5225
Duder 1080
Let’s review here. Rownder has taken out exactly one person – a short-stacked Nik Faldo – but has the chip lead? That is some serious poker playing there friends!
Right after the break, Duder (3rd) gets knocked out by Rownder as his desperation (K7) loses to (A8).
Finally a little poker seesaw before Rownder builds to a ten to one chip lead, ArticBlast (2nd) goes all-in with {Q-7 high flush} and loses to Rownder’s {Q-T high flush}.
I call it domination!
1st – Rownder
2nd – ArticBlast
3rd – Duder
4th – Sev4TSev
5th – Nahanni
6th – Boother
7th – MikeNiks (Nik Faldo)
8th – Hlam14

Wow sounds like it was a good game. My mom is in town for two more days so I did not want to be a bad host. Plus one of my kids smashed his ear on our coffee table at like 8:15...good times! Glad to see Herb back and I hope to make it next week.

To announce that there must be no criticism of the president, or that we are to stand by the president right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public.
– T. Roosevelt
It is not what we have that will make us a great nation; it is the way in which we use it.
– T. Roosevelt
Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.
– A. Einstein
He fell on his own, REF, Honest...
To copycat:
Criticism is fine. Treason is another.
Teddy is wrong on the second one because the fact we are a great nation enabled us to have what we have.
And the last one explains my poker talent perfectly.
if we didnt have what we have then what we have is not what we have.

"Ain't it the Truth"
At first I thought this was funny... then I realized the awful truth of it.
Be sure to read all the way to the end!
Tax his land,
Tax his bed,
Tax the table
At which he's fed.
Tax his tractor,
Tax his mule,
Teach him taxes
Are the rule.
Tax his cow,
Tax his goat,
Tax his pants,
Tax his coat.
Tax his ties,
Tax his shirt,
Tax his work,
Tax his dirt.
Tax his tobacco,
Tax his drink,
Tax him if he
Tries to think.
Tax his cigars,
Tax his beers,
If he cries, then
Tax his tears.
Tax his car,
Tax his gas,
Find other ways
To tax his ass.
Tax all he has
Then let him know
That you won't be done
Till he has no dough.
When he hollas,
Tax him some moe,
Tax him till
He's good and soe.
Then tax his coffin,
Tax his grave,
Tax the sod in
Which he's laid.
Put these words
upon his tomb,
"Taxes drove me to my doom..."
When he's gone,
Do not relax,
Its time to apply
The inheritance tax.

STILL THINK THIS IS FUNNY?
Not one of these taxes existed 100 years ago, and our nationwas the most prosperous in the world. We had absolutely no national debt, had the largest middle class in the world, and Mom stayed home to raise the kids. What the hell happened? Can you spell "politicians"? And... I still have to "press 1" for English. I hope this goes around THE USA at least 100 times.
If you didnt have what we have then what we have is:
whatever it is that we have,
but not what you have.
Teddy is wrong?
I'm going to tell him you said that.
It ain't gonna be pretty.
