7Jokers returns to the NPP fold after a forced absence.
Write me at npokerp at yahoo if you need a better explanation. Thanks.
Great to have him back as he not only improves the talent level of an already incredible poker stable here at NPP, but he seems to be the only one who can keep Nahanni from running us all over.
We had eight players on two tables, but no damage was done at the first level, so we merged to one table all intact.
33 min: A short-stacked Duder (8th) goes all-in with (66) to find Nahanni’s (77) waiting for him.
37 min: Boother (7th) takes the bad beat of the night when his (KK) all-in loses to Nahanni’s (55) and a [5] on the river! There is a reason it is called River Stars!
51 min: For insulting the site, I got my usual string of garbage. The game (mainly Nahanni and Beerhog) was very aggressive, and I just never had the goods to make a stand.
Mikeniks-Faldo (6th) has to make a move with (A5) and get action from Beerhog with (AQ). No miracle five for me.
Break:
Nahanni 4940
ArcticBlast 2970
Beerhog 1800
7Jokers 1600
Tigercub 690
63 min: The longest hand of the night occurred when Nahanni bet and Beerhog called and the flop came [Qh 3c 4c]. Nahanni bets almost half the pot and Beerhog calls.
Turn [6h]. Nahanni bets 1/5 the pot and Beerhog calls again. There is a lot of time taken between bets and calls here.
River [Kd]
Nahanni bets half the pot! Beerhog thinks for a long time before calling all-in.
Nahanni loses the pot with (54) and Beerhog gets healthy with his rivered King (KJ).
65 min: Short-stacked Tigercub (5th) gets all-in with (As 3s), but Beerhog calls with (KJ) and hits the [K] on the flop.
68 min: ArcticBlast (4th) gets a Poker Stars cooler deck special when his (KK) runs right into Nahanni’s (AA). Ouch
Joker is low man at this point and survives three all-ins to hang around. He has a little fire power now.
72 min: 7Joker gets healthy when he moves all-in with (AT) and a flop of [6T7]. Nahanni goes for the kill with (J9) but misses the straight.
95 min: Beerhog (3rd) survives two all-ins but his third one has his (Ah Kh) lose to Nahanni’s (55).
102 min: 7Jokers builds a chip lead. When Nahanni (2nd) gets caught on a bluff, 7Jokers returns to the NPP winner’s circle! Congratulations 7Jokers.

congrats 7. nice triumphant return. you must have missed us.
I don't understand the secrecy about 7's issue on this site...???
my last hand wasnt a bluff (unlike the many of the previous hands)...I had 83 and the flop came A8(2?) and I was short stacked and pushed thinking that my pair of 8s were good since there was no preflop raise. of course I run into K8. oh well.
I have a poker story that you might want to post on the main page. it is a story of #1 making sure your opponent is all in before you flip your cards and #2 if you want to put him all in, best to just say you are all in.
So...I'm at Caesar’s Windsor on Friday playing a $1/$2 NL table. I am doing fairly well with over $400 in front of me (the biggest stack at the table). Anyhow, a dude UTG makes it $17 to go. I know that for sure he has AA…he hasn’t played too many hands and I have even seen him limp on the button with AK and check it down. So for sure he has AA (maybe KK). I am on the button with 22 and I have a bunch of chips. He has about $180 behind him. My first instinct was to fold because I know he has a huge pocket pair. But I took a second to think about it and thought that I could take a gamble. If I hit my hand, he’ll pay me off huge and if I miss it, it is an easy lay down. I call only because I am up so much and am “running good” (so to speak). Well the flop is as close to a dream as possible…234. he acts first and is quite confident that his AA are good because he is very talkative in the hand and bets out about $25…I think on how to play it…I figure if he has AA (or even KK) there is no way he is going anywhere anyway, so there is no sense in slow playing…..I thought I grabbed enough chips to put him all in…$150….and I stick the stacks out there and he is shocked for a moment and stairs incredulously at the board and eventually says “I call” and is holding his hand like he is ready to flip it over…but is looking over at me to flip my hand first. At this point, everybody at the table, including this guy thinks that he is all in (myself included)…so I flip my hand over and he flips his aces over. And the dealer finishes with the turn and river and I win the $300+ pot. Then I hear the “all-in” dude say, “don’t worry, I’ll match it up”…I had him way covered, so there was nothing to match up…so I say “huh…what about that there” pointing at the ~$30 that was not matched up. I wasn’t trying to be greedy, I just thought he was all in. and then in an instant just as I was thinking “how did we open our hands up if he wasn’t all in?”…he was thinking the same exact thing and decided to turn nasty…he declares that my hand is mucked because I flipped it over before he did. I was sick at this thought. All that joy you have when you win a huge pot was gone! We had to call the supervisor over and explain the whole thing to him…the whole time I am just sick with the thought that the ruling could muck my hand. Most of the table was on my side and only this guy and the 2 young punks next to him were supporting his story that I should muck my hand. The supervisor finally ruled that I won the hand but not his whole stack. It put a sour feeling in my stomach that someone would be so cruel……..I mean, I know getting your AA cracked by 22 is sick and being the AA holder you really want retribution, but this was just dirty. For all intensive purposes, everybody at the table thought that he was all in. after the hand he kept talking about it saying “I don’t get mad, she was so excited for her hand and she flipped it over and I wasn’t going to do anything until she wanted everything…”…I’m like “I thought you were all-in”…the one young punk is like “no…I heard him…he just said call…your hand should have been mucked”. This went on and on for many hands after. One of the older regulars was sitting to my left said to me that I had nothing to worry about because it wasn’t an “issue” until after the hand ended….but if I had flipped my hand over on the flop and my opponent had not, then at that very moment my hand would be mucked even if all he had was $1 left.
So…what are the lessons we can learn? #1, just declare all-in if you have your opponent covered and want to put him all in…….#2…don’t ever open your hand until the dealer tells you to open your hand.
We want more whale!!!!

More Herbavor at NPP - PS! I may not make the game Tuesday. Business dinner. Please 1st of 2n place players, post standings here and I will write the article and update stats later if I can't make it.
I will be on line for the Aug 12th game. We sign our new mortgage on Thursday, surprising, with the fact the media says 'nobody can get a mortage right now'.
I will probably get a new PS logon name. Maybe '14Jokers' will be available.
Herbavor
Don't use Olly-Tay or Even4T7-say - what ever you do!
"DavetheDog" and "Cigar4John" are available. Nobody else are using those. Well no one with a teabag.
Yeah I understand. Probably want to stay away from Loo-ann-a as well.
Hope all is well. Things are good in Iowa.
Herbavor
That would be Oolanna-Lay. And yes, stay away from that one too.
