Randy Mech Wins Pot Limit Omaha Tournament at Firekeepers Casino

Randy doing what he does at NPP out on the road in tournaments.

Congratulations to Randy Mech (Rjmech) of Nik's Poker Palace fame.

Just another reason to to join Niks Poker Palace. It's real poker against some real players.


Randy, Faldo will be waiting for his "trainer fee" by the mailbox. The usual 40% of the gross is fine. No tip needed either.

Ok, but make it a small gratuity.

The Day the SHTF in Argentina

hair. That's right. Your hair.

Imagine sitting in a hotel in Red China – there on business - and having breakfast..

A beautiful sunny morning on a work day and what you thought would be another average business day.

But then, the hotel informs you your credit cards are no longer good and they cannot accept cash from your native country.

You call back to your country to your work office, your home, your family members, your bank and your neighbors and all you get is a busy signal – then eventually – no signal.

You now have to rely on the generosity of the people you were working with to give you enough money to pay your bills so you can get home – when the airports and airlines finally re-open in your country.

Faldo was at that breakfast table when it happened to a woman from Argentina that sat with Faldo and a team of building engineers from Australia.

If you think it can't happen in the USA - think again. The Argentina government was doing exactly what our government is doing - borrowing and printing unlimited quantities of money.

Eventually Argentina's IOU was not accepted anymore.

Argentina is a food producing country, but children were starving to death everyday because the parents couldn't afford food since unemployment was at 25% and inflation made savings almost meaningless.

Large portions of cities became uninhabitable ....even by the police.
Being in a supermarket was being in a place that was already looted.
Any 'country' can become even more dangerous. No neighbors will help you when the criminals come around. They want to go un-noticed – hoping to be killed last - kind of like Republican politicians.

Then, your neighbors become criminals - out of necessity. Or you have to become one. Actually, being a good guy or a bad guy becomes simply a matter of perspective.

When the banks closed, cash was hard to come by and credit cards were not accepted. When banks re-opened, low limits on withdraws were strictly enforced. Barricades and armed security guards were at every branch. Connected government and rich people had moved their accounts earlier to other countries and many left the country just before the collapse with suitcases stuffed with money.

You had to protect yourself. If you did not prepare, you will soon learn fast - and first hand - that armed people can kill unarmed people with surprising regularity. The police either couldn't arrive in time or would not ever arrive. The police will show up to put you in jail for defending yourself, but will not show up to protect you. Jail is a death sentence in itself.

What is the biggest threat to you if the SHTF (poop hits the fan)?
Write down the top 5 threats and the most dangerous to the least. Now what are you doing to prepare?

Get in shape.  Some kind of shape. Improve to anything better than you currently are.
Most people die of illness and disease. Have meds available.
Law of 3 for survival;
air – 3 minutes
shelter – 3 hours
water – 3 days
food – 3 weeks

Have re-enforced doors, Think like a burglar. How would you get in?
Place motion detectors around your house. And emergency lights. Have an alarm.
Install security windows and shatter proof coatings. Secure you garage door.
Don't leave tools outside the house. Place thorny plants under windows.
Get two safes. Hide one well. Hide one poorly.

Oh………………. Happy New Year!

Tomservo2 wins the Inaugural Tournament of Champions!

 



Tomservo2 beat the best of the best tonight to be #1.

Tomservo2 beat all the 2013 winners tonight. Thirteen of the sixteen qualifiers made it to the felt on this cold evening, and it was a spirited battle.

After all, think about it: 48 NPP tournaments this year, and only 16 different players were victorious. It is no easy feat to best this group on tourney night.

This was an elite group of poker players.

On to the action:

15 min: Lump2 (13^th) Missed it.

20 min: 95corolla (12^th) Missed it.

26 min: KingBing420 (11^th) has a straight, but Tomservo2 hit a bigger one.

27 min: Douge2 (10^th) Missed it.

35 min: LittleRedElf (9^th) sees his trip Queens lose to Derf-63’s straight.

50 min: A short-stacked (SS) Suetman123 (8^th) sees her (Ad Kd) lose to Rjmech’s pair of Queens.

60 min: Absea98 (7^th) sees his (77) run into Mikeniks-Faldo’s (KK).

No break tonight:

62 min: A SS Derf-63 (6^th) has (TT) get run down as Rjmech’s (66) makes a straight! Ouch

65 min: A SS T3chlady (5^th) with (QJ) makes trip Queens, only to lose to Rjmech’s full house. Ouch again!

68 min: A SS Mikeniks-Faldo (4^th) misses his flush draw and higher pair draw to Rjmech’s 2 pair.

A back and forth battle ensues:

89 min: A SS ThePunk75 (3rd) runs into Rjmech’s two pair

Heads up:        Rjmech      10000      -      Tomservo2       9500

95 min:             Rjmech      10800      -      Tomservo2       8700

100 min:           Rjmech       4500      -      Tomservo2       15000

102 min:  A SS Rjmech (2^nd) has to go with (44) but Tomservo2 has (KJ) and pairs his King.

Congratulations to Tomservo2 as he is our Tournament of Champions Winner.

1^st – Tomservo2

2^nd – Rjmech

3^rd – ThePunk75

You Just Have to Smile……and Then Prepare

The Democrat goal for all Americans.

COSTELLO: I want to talk about the unemployment rate in America.

ABBOTT: Good Subject. Terrible times. It's 7.8%.

 

COSTELLO: That many people are out of work? 

ABBOTT: No, that's 14.7%.

COSTELLO: You just said 7.8%.

ABBOTT: 7.8% Unemployed.

COSTELLO: Right. 7.8% out of work.

ABBOTT: No, that's 14.7%.

COSTELLO: Okay, so it's 14.7% unemployed.

ABBOTT: No, that's 7.8%.

COSTELLO: WAIT A MINUTE. Is it 7.8% or 14.7%?

ABBOTT: 7.8% are unemployed. 14.7% are out of work.

COSTELLO: If you are out of work you are unemployed.

ABBOTT: No, Congress said you can't count the "Out of Work" as the unemployed, it makes President Obama's employment numbers look bad! You have to look for work to be unemployed.

COSTELLO: BUT THEY ARE OUT OF WORK!

ABBOTT: No, you miss the point.

COSTELLO: What point?

ABBOTT: Someone who doesn't look for work can't be counted with those who look for work. It wouldn't be fair.

COSTELLO: To whom?

ABBOTT: The unemployed.

COSTELLO: But ALL of them are out of work.

ABBOTT: No, the unemployed are actively looking for work. Those who are out of work gave up looking and if you give up, you are no longer in the ranks of the unemployed.

COSTELLO: So if you're off the unemployment rolls that would count as less unemployment?

ABBOTT: Unemployment would go down. Absolutely!

COSTELLO: The unemployment just goes down because you don't look for work?

ABBOTT: Absolutely, it goes down. That's how they get it to 7.8%. Otherwise it would be 14.7%. President Obama doesn't want you to read about 14.7% unemployment. It makes him look bad, incompetent, and makes him look like he doesn't have a clue what he is doing as President.

COSTELLO: That would be tough on the Democrats running for re-election.

ABBOTT: Absolutely!

COSTELLO: Wait, I got a question for you. That means there are two ways to bring down the unemployment number?

ABBOTT: Two ways is correct.

COSTELLO: Unemployment can go down if someone gets a job?

ABBOTT: Correct.

COSTELLO: And unemployment can also go down if you stop looking for a job?

ABBOTT: Bingo.

COSTELLO: So there are two ways to bring unemployment down, and the easier of the two is to have people stop looking for work.

ABBOTT: Now you're thinking like a Democratic Economist.

COSTELLO: I don't even know what the hell I just said!

ABBOTT: Now you're thinking like a Congressman.

But Don’t Worry…..You Have Protection

Mike Williamson observes that the collateral damage produced by the sharpshooters in the NYPD make Graven Tower look downright solicitous by comparison:
As long as you ignore the fact that the shooting victims were innocent bystanders;

Hitting two people with three shots represents unusual excellence in marksmanship for the NYPD.

This is matching another recent incident in which skilled NYPD officers were able to hit their target and nine bystanders with only 16 bullets.

Overall the NYPD usually requires about 331 rounds to hit 54 targets, of which 14 will be innocent bystanders, 24 will be dogs, and 16 will be people the NYPD was actually aiming at.

Statistically, if you aren't a dog, it is slightly more dangerous to be the person the NYPD was shooting at than a bystander (16 people out of 331 shots for intended targets for a 4.8% hit rate vs. 14 people out of 331 shots for bystanders, a 4.2% hit rate).

NYPD has a better success rate for other weapons, and certain factors, like shooting unarmed people in the back, tend to increase hit rates.

When NYPD officers fire 331 shots, and hit 16 targeted people, 24 dogs, but also 14 bystanders, there is a problem.

If the gun control advocates were truly serious about wanting to reduce the amount of unnecessary harm caused by firearms, they'd be campaigning to disarm the police, not the American people.

I suppose we can be grateful that the NYPD doesn't have rocket-armed bazookas or missile-armed drones at their disposal........uh, oh….wait a minute……they do.

The Tournament of Champions tournament is next week!

Don’t Fret About League Suspensions – Just a Precaution

Three cheers for the NPP and TOC Finalists!

I guess PokerStars sends out a letter stating you have been suspended from the Niks PokerPalace league. Well, don’t fret it.

Our next tournament on Tuesday, December 3, 2013, is the NPP Final. Seven people qualified for that. In past years, members have forgotten it’s the final and registered for the tournament. The only way Faldo can make sure only the qualifiers get in, is to suspend everyone else.

If you want to watch the final, let Faldo know and I will re-instate you. Just don’t register for the Final unless you are a finalist.

Now remember, on Tuesday, December 10, 2013, is the NPP Tournament of Champions. Anyone who won a tournament in NPP in 2013 is eligible for that. So just those players will be “activated” for that.

Sorry for the email, but it is unavoidable. Again, if you want to watch the Final or the Tournament of Champions, just let Faldo know.

If you are a NPP Finalist and cannot play in the Final, please let Faldo know and I will get the next Total Points player in as a replacement.

All of you tournament winners – be sure to keep December 10 open.

All the rest of my poker friends – see you January 7, for the start of the 21st year of Niks Poker Palace!

Derf-63 Clinches a Seat in the NPP Final - With Style!

The Lady is just floored by Derf-63 poker skills!

It is always an exciting finish to the season, even with the drama done before the final card.

Derf-63 wins the final regular season tournament and clinches a seat in the NPP final. That’s the way you do it – leaving nothing to chance.

I will leave the rest of the story in the action summary.

 

On to the action:

10 min: 95corolla (12^th) goes with (99) but Derf-63 has (KK)! Ouch!

26 min: A short-stacked (SS) Mikeniks-Faldo  (11^th) has to try with (QJ) but K9isadog  has (AK).

35 min: A SS Absea98 (10^th) loses to Wingsfancurt’s pair of Nines. Now Absea98 has to hope his pursuers get cut down. But four of the nine are pursuers.

51 min: Wingsfancurt (9^th) two pair runs into K9isadog’s bigger two pair.

52 min: Suetman123 (8^th) two pair runs into Tomservo2’s bigger two pair.

54 min: Tigercub8189 (7^th) pair of Jacks loses to Derf-63’s pair of Kings.

Now it is looking bleak for Absea98. Four of the six left are pursuers.

1^st break:

K9isadog    6737

Tomservo2     6226

Derf-63   3577

Pre01   1100

LittleRedElf     240

Theedouble*d    120

61 min: Theedouble*d (6^th) blinds out.

62 min:  LittleRedElf (5^th) has (AA) blinds out.

 

It’s now over for Absea98 as all the seats are taken. The last three are Pre01 (4^th quarter win), and then Derf-63 and K9isadog win the Total Points seat. Congratulations to all qualifiers.

80 min: Tomservo2 (4^th) missed it – visitor to the home.

90 min: Pre01 (3rd) missed it.

102 min: A SS K9isadog (2^nd) goes with (Q8) but Derf-63 has (AJ).

Congratulations to Derf-63 on his 5^th NPP win of the year and his 10^th overall!

1^st – Derf-63

2^nd – K9isadog

3^rd – Pre01

4^th – Tomservo2

12^th – 95corolla

The 4th Quarter Standings and Total Point standings are on the right side of the blog!

Rjmech Continues to Dominate NPP

Anna Benson says "Tops off to RJ!" Uh...its hats off. Nevermind, this is better.

Note: Faldo was absent due to a power outage. Apparently 10 mile an hour winds gave the hamster running on the DTE Energy power wheel a heart attack. More on those criminals in another post.

T3chlady graciously agreed to take poker notes this evening.

“Rjmech wins his 7^th tournament of the year! Rjmech is proving that being successful in poker is not luck. But then again, NPP is loaded with players that prove that.

Absea98 hangs on to the 4^th quarter lead with one round left. It is only a two man race as Pre01 has the only chance to catch Absea98.

In the Total Points race, 95corolla, Absea98, Derf-63, K9isadog, LittleRedElf, Lump2 and Pre01 still can win a seat. When Absea98 or Pre01 win the 4^th quarter seat, that opens up one of the two Totals seat for someone else. It’s going to be a fantastic finish as always!

5 min:  Douge2 (Ace high) loses to Derf-63 (AA).

18 min: Lump2 is escorted to the door by K9isadog. Both hit a K to pair the board but Lump had a lower kicker.

20 min:  95Corolla loses with 33 against Theedouble*d who makes two pair.

28 min: A very SS Wingsfancurt is ousted by Suetman123 who hits two pair (QQ 55) against Ace high.

32 min: Absea98 loses with KKK against K9isadog's flush.

34 min:  Tigercub8189’s two pair loses to Theedouble*d's trips 555.

51 min: Derf-63 is out when Derf, Theedouble*d and Pre01 all battle. Pre01 gets the main pot with 222. DD gets the side pot with QQ. Derf had TT.

55 Suetman123 out by Rjmech who was ahead all the way when his 99 hit a set and suetman had 77.

Break 1

Theedouble*d 7665

K9isadog 4520

Pre01 4087

Rjmech 3693

T3chlady 1785

LittleRedElf 400

Tomservo2 350

66 mi: LittleRedElf short stacked with 66 pushes and loses to Theedouble*d's two pair AA JJ.

67 min: Tomservo2 is blinded out.

88 min: Theedouble*d pushes but doesn't connect when Pre01 shows up with two pair AA 55. The board had 55.

100 min:  A SS T3chlady pushes with KJ, didn't hit and Rjmech makes a set with his 555.

105 min: One memorable hand was K9isadog who's trip 3's fill up with 10s but Rjmech had pocket 10s and makes the bigger full house!!

113 min: K9isadog pushed with JT but Pre01 pairs his Q and wins.

Break 2

Pre01 11381

Rjmech 11109

That's when the steamroller cranks up the engine and starts rolling. It didn't take long.

123 min: Pre02    5251     -     Rjmech    15149

125 min: Rjmech wins when he pairs his J and Pre01 pairs his 5 with a pair of 33's on the board. Rjmech two pair JJ 33. Pre01 two pair 55 33.”

Congratulations to Rjmech on his 12^th NPP win.

Is it Faldo or the Rest of the World that is Off?

I saw a poor old lady fall over today on the ice, hit her head and get knocked out!! At least I presume she was poor - she only had $1.20 in her purse.

A bum asked me if I had a buck so he could get a cup of coffee. I said, "Sure. Do you have change for a $100 bill?" Some people are just ungrateful. Do you know he took a swing at me?

Went for my routine checkup today and everything seemed to be going fine until he stuck his index finger up my butt! Do you think I should change dentists?

My doctor looks just like a young Vanna White - only hotter! But I have to find a new eye doctor now. I thought it would speed things up if I got naked for the examination BEFORE she told me to.

I was explaining to my wife last night that when you die you get reincarnated but must come back as a different creature. She said she would like to come back as a cow.
I said, "You're obviously not listening."

The wife has been missing a week now. Police said to prepare for the worst. So, I had to hustle to the thrift shop to get all of her clothes back.

My new girlfriend I'm having an affair with..... thinks that I'm a stalker. Well, she's not exactly my girlfriend yet.

On my college entrance exam, they asked where are women found to have naturally curly hair.
I guess Africa was the correct answer.

One of the other questions that I missed on my college entrance exam was to name two things commonly found in cells.
It appears that Mexicans and Blacks is not the correct answer.

You can say lots of bad things about pedophiles but at least they drive slowly past schools.

The Red Cross have just knocked at my door and asked if I could help towards the floods in Pakistan. I said I would love to, but my garden hose only reaches the driveway.

Wanting to impress the young lady behind registration desk when I checked into my hotel on a recent business trip, I said, "I hope the porn channel in my room is disabled."
To which she replied, "No, it's regular people-porn, you sick bastard."

Unsolicited Truth About Obamacare From an Independent Family Man

 

The US Constitution and our Bill of Rights look far worse right now.

Faldo was simply resting prior to the Tuesday Poker tournament. A friend texted me and another buddy to say he was attending a seminar on Obamacare to learn how to apply and what will be required to do so. He was going to share his knowledge of this new law with us.

As a professional financial planner, he is well versed at cutting thru the lawyer-speak and deciphering what is ‘the real deal’. Faldo will let him take it from here. Well, as much as Faldo will let anyone.

Financial Planner “ZZ” – text to two older friends: I am going to a speaker on Obamacare tonight. I will let you old timers know what I find out.

Faldo: It is called socialism and communism healthcare. If the speaker is for it, tell him Faldo says he is a crook and a traitor.

“ZZ”: Even communism has rules. Better to know what they are.

Faldo: No, you defeat it and sabotage it. Or you are a sheep and part of the problem. Ask that son of a bitch if he signed up for it yet.

“ZZ”: The problem is work ethic. For some reason the majority of the country just want handouts. I don’t see that changing.

BACK FROM SEMINAR:

“ZZ”: Guys, I apologize. I was trying to be open minded about this until I knew the facts. After sitting thru a two hour seminar, I can now say this law is a DISASTER!

“ZZ”: This will affect folks on medicare, so you need to bolster your savings enough to pay for substantially higher medical costs for the next two years Elmo (Faldo note: Elmo is retired on a fixed income).

“ZZ”: It could mean you will have to take a part time job or cut your budget. I can’t believe how horrible this law is.

“ZZ”: You are both friends of mine, and I am worried for you. If you are not educated on this subject, you better get yourself educated. This is going to have a significant impact on all American families and neither of you are the healthiest (Faldo note: or wealthiest) in America.

“ZZ”: I’m going to sit down with my wife and discuss our options this weekend. This is terrifying with a new baby on the way.

Faldo: I love the fact that government workers, and big Democrat contributors are exempt, given waivers or premium adjustments, while everyone else suffers with this. Just remember when you are going in for surgery or even taking medicine given to you in the hospital, it is your government now giving to you – and not your doctor.

All of you Democrat retirees voted for your own euthanizing. Good thinking, as usual from the Demcorat voter.

T3chlady Wins Her 1st NPP Tourney of 2013



Ana Marquez has nothing on our Techlady!

T3chlady (you may pronounce it Techlady) already has a seat in the NPP final. But now she also has a seat in the Tournament of Champions. Way to go Lady!

Absea98 picked up even more points tonight. He can be caught but it is not going to be easy for his pursuers of Derf-63, Pre01 and Tomservo2.

How to Get Out of a Traffic Ticket - Step 1

In the immortal words of Elvis Presley in the song, "My Way" - "Sometimes I bit off more than I could chew."

Rjmech Wins Two in a Row!

Rjmech wins double....and raises you a double.

And that makes four this quarter! That makes six for the year, giving him the lead in that department. Needless to say, he would be winning this quarter, except he already won his seat in Quarter 2.

Absea98 still leads the 4^th quarter, but Pre01 and Tomservo2 are still in easy striking distance with three rounds left. Others can catch also….by catching fire and quickly.

Three Public Service Announcements from the Democrat Party

Obama reaching out to the US Taxpayer. Can't say he didn't.

Learn how to make millions from the best real estate expert in the US Senate.
“Hello, I’m Harry Reid, Democrat senator from Nevada. Ever dream of making a fortune in real estate without any risk? Well you can with my tried and true Reid’s Real Estate Money Magic System.

 In lesson #1 you will learn how to buy undeveloped land right after you push thru legislation to make it more valuable. Then you also pick up campaign contributions along the way! With my system, it’s a piece of cake.

In lesson #2, you will learn how to transfer your property to a friend’s off shore shell company - getting everything out of your name. Then you strong arm the Zoning Board - to re-zone the land - thus tripling it’s value over night! With no messy contracts in your name, no one will every know you were in on it. Not even the IRS!”
The Reid Real Estate Money Magic System is so simple, anyone can do it. Well, if you are a crooked Senator from Nevada, or any other Democrat in office.

The Chairman of the Federal Reserve, Ben Bernanke - appointed by Hussein Obama – has a lot of friends that he helped out with the Stimulus Package.

GE: “Thanks Ben.”
Harley-Davidson: “Thanks Ben.”
Toyota: “Arigotou Bena-san.”
Some US Banks: “Thanks Ben.”
Banks in Scotland, England, Bavaria, Switzerland, Korea, Mexico and Japan: chorus “Thanks Ben.”
Teacher’s Union: “Thanks Benjamin. And no talking! ...to anyone about this”
Teamsters Union: “Thanks Ben. Now fa-getta bout it.”
UAW: “Thanks Ben. We will call off our paid protesters now.”
Yes, Ben has helped our a lot of friends with taxpayer money – none of which is even collected yet! It was all just printed and added to our children’s children’s debt. And of course a lot of that money will be sent back to the Democrat Party.

And Obama tells Ben who the friends of the Democrat Party are.
Compliments of the Federal Reserve – serving the Democrat Party every time Democrats are in control.

Now from the people that brought you Government Motors and Obamacare, we now bring you the all new Obamacard!

President Obama says, “In my economy, some people say money is tight for everyone. Not if you carry the new Obamacard! With the Obamacard, it doesn’t matter if you are slow pay…..or no pay. You can go ahead and go play!

Because, just like me, there is no limit on what you can spend and you have no responsibility! So charge ahead with the Obamacard.

In the new economy I am building, there is no need to pay any money back because we just owe it to ourselves, our children, and our children’s children. Well, and the Chinese and the Saudis. Oh, and the printer of the money.

Hey, Joe, Nancy, Hillary and Harry, see if the printer can wait another 90 days before we pay him.”

Of course in order to feel good about yourself and think any of this makes sense, you have to drive a hybrid, watch MSNBC daily, join a union, close your mind and forget everything you ever liked about your freedom and property. Basically, be a useful idiot Kool-aid drinking Democrat voter.

Rjmech Wins for the 5th Time in 2013

Jenn Brown waits in the NPP lounge for Rjmech.

Rjmech already has a seat in the NPP Final or else he would have the lead in the 4^th quarter because he has won 3 times this quarter! Just an unbelievable job Rj!
So Absea98 hangs on to the lead as he himself picks up more points tonight. He still has four people trying to chase him down. And there is still time for others to get in the race.
Absea98’s point streak is also helping him in the Totals Race.
It is always an exciting finish to the seat line!
