It may have been a shorter table with only six starters, but all were previous winners – so it was not going to be cakewalk. But with the cards the Tiger was getting, maybe it was. He hit a ton of hands – especially down the stretch – which is always nice when it happens to you.
I would not know about that phenomenon …but I hear things.
53 min: Mikeniks-Faldo (6th) is the first victim. Duder crippled me early. Then Biglou and Nahanni tag-teamed my panic all-in by both of them calling. Biglou hit the wheel straight and I was left to keep score alone in Cleveland.
58 min: Nahanni (5th) followed me out the door by breaking the cardinal rule: Short stack never plays with less than 2 minutes to go before break. The software will kill you.
She has (67) and the flop comes [A68]. She was two-timed also by ArcticBlast and Duder, who both had an Ace and split her chips.
Break:
Tigercub 3260
Biglou 2577
Duder 1918
ArcticBlast 1245
ArcticBlast starts the 2nd round with a couple of big blind special hands of (72) and (32) that double him up quickly!
68 min: This was not good for the early chip leader Duder (4th). Duder is now forced to make a move with (AJ) and runs into ArcticBlast’s (AK).
83 min: A lot of hands were being hit by Tiger who slowly ground his two opponents into Cat-chow. Last week’s winner Biglou (3rd) has to go all-in with his (A6) when the flop comes [687] with a [7] on the turn. But the Tigercub is lying in wait with (KK).
88 min: The end comes with another run of cards for Tiger. ArcticBlast (2nd) is forced to put the rest of his chips in with (K7) and Tiger can easily call with (97). Flop [65J], and Arctic is alive. But a [9] on the turn and a [9] on the river and Tigercub8189 has his first win!
Good job Tiger!

ITALIAN BOY'S CONFESSION
Bless me Father, for I have sinned. I have been with a loose
girl'.
The priest asks, 'Is that you, little Joey Pagano Yes, Father,
it is.'
And who was the girl you were with?'
'I can't tell you, Father, I don't want to ruin her reputation'
Well, Joey, I'm sure to find out her name sooner
or later, so y you may as well tell me now. Was it Tina
Minetti?'
'I cannot say.'
'Was it Teresa Mazzarelli?'
'I'll never tell.'
'Was it Nina Capelli?'
'I'm sorry, but I cannot name her.'
'Was it Cathy Piriano?'
'My lips are sealed.'
'Was it Rosa Di Angelo, then?'
'Please, Father, I can not tell you.'
The priest sighs in frustration.. 'You're very tight lipped,
Joey Pagano,
and I admire that. But you've sinned and have t o atone. You
cannot be an altar boy now for 4 months. Now you go and behave
yourself.'
Joey walks back to his pew, and his friend Franco slides over
and whispers,
'What'd you get?'
'4 months vacation and five good leads.'
A man takes his 8 year old daughter with him while he gets a haircut. Before hand, he stops off and buys her a Hostess treat to keep the little girl busy while he is in the chair.
While the father is getting his hair cut, the little girl wanders over to stand near her Dad to watch.
But barber sees the little girl eating her treat and says, "Careful young lady. You are going to get hair on your Twinkie."
The little girl replys, "I know, and my mom says I'm going to get boobs too!"
does tigercub still play 6-8 unsuited at MP?
How dare you insult an NPP winner like that?
He would never play that trash!
It was 9 3 unsuited. Adds up to a Doyle Brunson doesn't it (T 2)?
Man guys it has been slow around here lately, must be spring. I figured I would post a very interesting and relevant question and answer from Gavin Griffin at Cardplayer Magazine's site. I know it applies to me (except the part of trying to get bad players at a cash game in order to profit). I will continue to try and grin and wish the other guys well, even while I am losing.
Gavin:
What is the most misunderstood aspect of poker among amateurs? Is it position, betting amount, reading opponents, or something else?
- Brian, Phoenix, Arizona
Hi, Brian:
I think the most misunderstood aspect of poker among amateurs is that poker is a game and it is supposed to be fun. Too many people take the game way too seriously. It's a social game that encourages interaction, and should be treated as such. There is no reason to berate someone for making a bad play or rub it in when you win a pot. Smile, laugh, and treat others like you want to be treated while you are playing. I sometimes lose sight of this fact myself, especially when things are going bad, but I always try to catch myself and correct it. Yes, it's great to win, and it's more fun when you are winning, but learning to lose and win like a gentleman will go a long way toward helping you enjoy the game. And here's one more thing: Do you think bad players like it when the game is super serious and nobody is having any fun? The more fun they are having, the better the chance they will come back and continue losing! Good luck, Brian, and, of course, have fun!
Word! Matchy
Matchy,
The subtle undertones of your post are very appropriate for the NPP these days. Nice job on posting it as a education thing, while yet trying to teach all of us a lesson!! It would be a good idea for everyone to take this advice to heart!!!
i agree matchy. now go f##K yourself.
beerhog
just kidding matchy. are you guys playing friday's at coyote? poker afterwards?
beerhog
They are playing fridays @ Coyote, at least Boother and Bo. I dropped out of the league after a 12 year run as commish due to my coaching my kid's flag football and 2 kids in baseball. I am probable for heading up for cards this Fri. night. Shoot me an email for my cell# if you don't already have it. If no game Fri I as considering White Lk Sat. or a game at my house would still be a go if we only had players.
i can play friday and friday only.
if we can get a game i am in.
