Proving that their results at NPP are not a fluke, these two NPP warriors expand their victim’s list to include other sites and other players.
Over on Full Tilt, NPP’ers more than hold their own.
T3chlady reports a win in an 18 player SNG. Can a victory at NPP be far behind? After all, she took over the 2nd quarter lead without an outright win.
Meanwhile, Theedouble*d stayed on fire in late March and early April on Full Tilt.
In early April, he finishes 2nd in a 774 player tourney, returning 106 times the entry!! Wow. Great job!
This came after this late March final table appearance in a Full Tilt rey-buy tourney – with some commentary submitted:
“Made another final table. Key hands for me were in the middle game.
Blinds are 150/300. In the small blind I have 4d 6d. There is a limp-fest and 7 players limp in to the big blind. BB raises min and we have one player not make the call. Flop comes K64 rainbow. Checked to me and I push all in. BB calls and one other player. BB is holding AK. Other player has 55. They get no help and I trip up. If either 55 or AK pushes even a little harder, I am probably out of there pre flop. Being last to call with no one shoving hard allowed me to play that hand.
Another one later when blinds were 500/1000. I hold 7h 6h on the button. I limp in and am allowed to see flop. Flop is 7cKc7d. BB goes all in and gets one caller in addition to me. Cards shown and BB is holding AA and other caller has JcTc. They do not improve and I am close to tripled again. BB is eliminated.
Moral to this story is that your key hands aren't always your big monster pairs. If your opponents are not skilled enough to run you off your speculative hands, your little ones can quickly turn into monsters. If they misplay the big ones, they are just inviting the suckout.
In the first hand, I can see 55 limping early, but AK should of pushed a tad harder. In the 2nd hand, the BB slow playing the AA allowed me to hit trips and the other guy to see flop and get his flush draw that also had huge suckout possibilities. There is a huge risk to slow playing AA. Every so often to mix it up at a very aggressive table maybe. Bank on them doing your initial raise for you. But it sure should not be a habit.
Once I made final table with an average size stack, I waited awhile and no one was willing to get into it. I pushed a 1/3 of my stack with 99. Got pushed back by a big stack and called. He was holding KQo. He caught the K on turn. Out 9th with 22 times return on my investment.
Sigh. I was thinking a 280 times return was for me.” – DD
Congratulations to T3chlady and Theedouble*d. And a super write-up, DD. - Faldo

0'bama has recently appointed a Golf Czar and major rule changes in the game of golf will become effective June 1, 2010.
This is only a preview as the complete rule book is being rewritten as we speak.
Here are a few of the changes:
Golfers with handicaps:
- below 10 will have their green fees increased by 35%.
- between 11 and 18 will see no increase in green fees.
- above 18 will get a $25 check each time they play.
The dollar amount placed in bets will be as follows:
-for handicaps below 10, an additional $10.
-between 11 and 18, no additional amount.
-above 18, you will receive the total amount in the pot even if you do not play.
The term "gimme" will be changed to "entitlement" and will be used as follows:
-handicaps below 10, no entitlements.
-handicaps from 11 to 17, entitlements for putter length putts.
-handicaps above 18, if your ball is on green, no need to putt, just pick it up.
These entitlements are intended to bring about fairness and, most importantly, equality in scoring.
In addition, a Player will be limited to a maximum of one birdie or six pars in any given 18-hole round. Any excess must be given to those fellow players who have not yet scored a birdie or par. Only after all players have received a birdie or par from the player actually making the birdie or par,can that player begin to count his pars and birdies again.
The current USGA handicap system will be used for the above purposes, but the term 'net score' will be available only for scoring those players with handicaps of 18 and above.
This is intended to 'redistribute' the success of winning by making sure that in every competition, the above 18 handicap players will post only 'net score' against every other player's gross score.
These new Rules are intended to CHANGE the game of golf.
Golf must be about Fairness.
It should have nothing to do with Ability.
Congrats to Fourbetbluff on the birth of his son, Issac. But when is "Five"betbluff joining NPP?
