Douge2 Returns to the Winner’s Circle

Douge2's entourage waits for him after the tourney.

This guy should be here more often. Faldo just doesn’t mean playing at NPP, but winning the tourney. This man can play!

Faldo adds to his untouchable record of 2^nd place finishes, to go with his untouchable record of final table and cashing bubble finishes.

The tables were a little uneven, as we had three sit-outs for a while and it soon turned to just one. Wingsfancurt never did make it to the NPP room. But living in Las Vegas, sometimes things happen.

On to the action:

5 min: Sanster89 (18^th) with (TT) sees SpartanFlash (AdJd) hit his flush!

9 min: KingBing420 (17^th) sees her two pair get run down by Rjmech’s full house!

10 min: ThePunk75 (16^th) Missed it playing my hand.

16 min: Theedouble*d (15^th) sees his (JJ) pair run into SpartanFlash’s (AA)! Ouch!

25 min: A short-stacked (SS) Tomservo2 (14^th) with (KQ) lose a coin flip to Suetman123’s (TT).

32 min: A short-stacked (SS) Derf-63 (13^th) runs into Mikeniks-Faldo’s (AA).

33 min: LittleRedElf (12^th) with two pair is out-kicked by Douge2 with the same two pair.

41 min: K9isadog (11^th) with two pair runs into Rjmech’s flush.

48 min: A SS Tigercub8189 (10^th) Missed as the table closed.

49 min: A SS Pre01 (9^th) Missed it answering a phone! Where are the Faldo secretaries!

52 min: Suetman123 (8^th) has a straight that loses to Lump2’s flush.

55 min: Wingsfancurt (7^th) blinds out.

1^st break:

With deep stacks, a long session ensues.

Douge's Humor Corner on the Flop

One of the typical maids at the NPP Headquarters.

Women Are Allowed to Change Their Minds
Dear John, I’m sorry I broke off our engagement. I miss you terribly and regret my decision. Please take me back.
Love,
Mary
PS. Congratulations on winning the World Series of Poker Main Event.

A man comes home…from his weekly poker game late. His annoying wife is waiting for him. “Where the heck have you been?”
“Sorry, but I lost you in a poker game. You’ll have to leave.”
“How did you manage that, you fool?”
“It wasn’t easy. I had to fold a royal flush.”

What is the…difference between a professional poker player and God?
God doesn’t think He’s a professional poker player.
 
The regular Friday night poker…game was still going strong after midnight. One of the players returned from the restroom, saying “Bill, I just saw your wife in the bedroom with Frank!”

“OK, that’s it, guys,” Bill yells. “This is definitely the last lap to my big blind.”

 A doctor answers…his phone at home on a Friday night. His colleague says, “We need an eighth player for poker.” The doctor replied, “Hold on. I’ll be there ASAP.” As he was grabbing his coat and keys, his wife asked, “Is it serious?” “It sure is,” he said. “There are already seven other doctors there!”

The regular Friday night…poker game was going on when John lost $500 on a single hand, had a heart attack, and died. “Who’s going to tell his wife?” They drew cards, and Bill drew the low card. He knocked on John’s door and told his wife, “John lost $500 at poker tonight.”
She turns red and yells, “Tell that $#*^_^ to DROP DEAD!”
Bill walks away sheepishly and says, “I’ll tell him.”

A man hears a voice…that tells him “Quit your job, sell your house, and go to Las Vegas.” He ignores it. The next day he hears the same voice telling him “Quit your job, sell your house, and go to Las Vegas.” He ignores it. On a third day, he hears the voice again; saying “Quit your job, sell your house, and go to Las Vegas.” He finally obeys.

Upon arriving in Las Vegas, the voice says, “Go to the Rio.” He does.

At the Rio, the voice says, “Put your last $10,000 on a WSOP entry.” He does.

The first hand of the tournament, the man is dealt As Ac. “Go all in,” commands the voice. He does and gets three callers. The flop is Jh Th 9h. “Shit!” says the voice.

Tomservo2 Wins for the First Time in the 2013 Season

Hockey is back and so is Tomservo2!

The Man has been here before - lots of times before. Tomservo2 worked his way thru a large field, withstanding the assault of many a bigger stack. But he had them all at the end.

Douge's Humor Corner: Golfers and Seniors

GOLFER AT THE DENTIST

A man and his wife walked into a dentist's office.

The man said to the dentist, "Doc, I'm in one heck of a hurry. I have two buddies sitting out in my car waiting for us to go play golf, so forget about the anesthetic, I don't have time for the gums to get numb. I just want you to pull the tooth, and be done with it! We have a 10:00 AM tee time at the best golf course in town and its 9:30 already...

I don't have time to wait for the anesthetic to work!'

The dentist thought to himself, "My goodness, this is surely a very brave man asking to have his tooth pulled without using anything to kill the pain."

So the dentist asks him, "Which tooth is it sir?"

The man turned to his wife and said, "Open your mouth Honey, and show him."

LEARN FROM YOUR ELDERS
A lawyer and a senior citizen are sitting next to each other on a long flight.
The lawyer is thinking that seniors are so dumb that he could get one over on them easy.
So the lawyer asks if the senior would like to play a fun game.

The senior is tired and just wants to take a nap, so he politely declines and tries to catch a few winks.
The lawyer persists saying that the game is a lot of fun.  I ask you a question, and if you don't know the answer, you pay me only $5.  Then you ask me one, and if I don't know the answer, I will pay you $500, he says.

This catches the senior's attention and to keep the lawyer quiet, he agrees to play the game.

The lawyer asks the first question.  'What's the distance from the Earth to the Moon?'
The senior doesn't say a word, but reaches into his pocket, pulls out a five-dollar bill, and hands it to the lawyer.
Now it's the senior's turn.  He asks the lawyer, 'What goes up a hill with three legs, and comes down with four?'
The lawyer uses his laptop and searches all references he could find on the Net.
He sends e-mails to all the smart friends he knows; all to no avail.  After an hour of searching, he finally gives up.
He wakes the senior and hands him $500.  The senior pockets the $500 and goes right back to sleep.

The lawyer is going nuts not knowing the answer.  He wakes the senior up and asks, 'Well, so what goes up a hill with three legs and comes down with four?'
The senior reaches into his pocket, hands the lawyer $5 and goes back to sleep.

Dirty Democrats

"And the Democrats land another right on the taxpayer!"

To Michael Jackson’s “Dirty Diana”. This is even better to sing along to.

You always make me pay,
So take your weight off of me.
I know your every lie,
So won't you just let us be.
I've been here times before
Voters were too blind to see
That you seduce weak people,
But you will never seduce me.
They say that's ok
Hey man, we will do what we please.
We have your stuff that they want.
We are the thing that they need.
They looked me deep in the eyes
They started taunting me to start
They said there's No Turnin' Back,
We trapped them with our ploys!
Dirty Democrats, No

Dirty Democrats, No

Dirty Democrats, No
Just let me be!

They like the people broke,

They know when they start begging in towns.
Every poor persons fan,
Until the voting goes down.
They wait in the Congress halls
For those who have cash and prestige.
They promise fortune and security,

A life that's so carefree.
They say abortion’s ok.
Hey lady, do what you want.
We’ll be your night lovin' thing.
Taxpayers can be The Freak you can taunt.
And we don't care what they want.
We want to go too far.
And take your everything,
If you make liberals the King!

Dirty Democrats, No!

They said you can have a home
Even if you can’t pay you see.
Now libs hate goin' broke alone
Why don't you come with me?
I said I pay for my home
Democrats worried about me.
I didn't call for government help.

I said I like to be free.
Dems walked up to me,
They said what’s yours is ours.
At that I ran to my gun
They said, that’s quite alright.
They said won’t kick in the door,
They said  I forgot the key.
They said they’re not coming back,
With any healthcare or social security for me!
Dirty Democrats, No!

Dirty Democrats, No!

Fucking lying Democrats, No!

Derf-63 Wins His 6th NPP Event

Derf-63 pulled all the right strings tonight.

Derf-63 cut thru the field like a hot knife thru butter! He seemed to take out the bigger stacks first and then just gobble up the little stacks remaining.

Sixteen players tonight and that is about normal. Why we don’t have 30 is a mystery to Faldo – and a crying shame. But it is what it is and I love the players that are here. 

Everyone was serious tonight, I got to tell you! Derf-63 beat everyone’s best effort that is for sure!

On to the action:

5 min: Cigar4John (16^th) loses to Tomservo2’s full house!

31 min: A short-stacked (SS) Suetman123 (15^th) sees her (A9) run into Lump2’s (AT). Ouch! Then the game tightens up – big time!

52 min: Tigercub8189 (14^th) with (AA) loses to Derf-63’s trip Tens.

55 min: A SS K9isadog (13^th) goes with (99) and loses the coin flip to T3chlady with (Ah Kh) and a king on the board.

76 min: A double knockout as Absea98 (8^th) has (KK), Sanster89 (7^th) has (AK), but Derf-63 is holding (AA)! Wow!

79 min: A SS Pre01 (6^th) goes with (88) and loses the coin flip to Derf-63’s (As Qs), with a [Q] on the flop.

91 min: A SS 95corolla (5^th) has to go with (Kc Tc) and Tomservo2 calls with (AA).

The 1st Quarter Standings and the Total Point Standings are on the right side of the blog!

Welcome to Our Third World Country in Taylor, MI. - Obamaville

Or Welcome to the new United States of Idiots:
TAYLOR, MI (WWJ) - An event designed to help assist Michigan families with housing expenses turned into a chaotic scene after there was a mad rush to collect Section 8 Housing Choice Vouchers.
The incident happened Saturday morning at the Wayne County Family Health Services Center on Eureka Road, between Beech Daly and Inkster roads in Taylor — where thousands of people were waiting to get housing vouchers, many who had been waiting outside in the cold since the night before.
Reports say the amount of people who showed up looking for assistance heavily outweighed the number of vouchers to be distributed. As the night was fading away and the sun started to shine, the crowd continued to grow as more and more people arrived. According to reports, only 1,000 vouchers were available for distribution. An estimated 3,000 to 4,000 people were in attendance.
When it came time for the vouchers to be distributed, police said there was a mad rush for the door, with people jockeying for position to be the first inside the building. Officers tried to control the crowd, but couldn’t. Fearing the situation was more than they could handle, event organizers shut the entire thing down and turned off the lights inside the building. Witnesses say that’s when things really got ugly.
Star Lee, of Romulus, described the scene as complete chaos.
“People just don’t have order to themselves, you know what I mean? People were fighting and throwing chairs, and that’s just not necessary. We were asked to just come and line up and, you know, make things simple. They shut it down before it even got started and it’s just sad because some people really needed this help, this assistance,” she said.
Candice Wacasey, of Taylor, said she was frightened.
Garbage litters the ground at a human services building in Taylor where thousands of people rioted when a Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher distribution event was cancelled.
“When the lights went out, it went horrible. People started trampling over people, there was a disabled lady that was in a wheelchair and they was trying to knock her over to get in front of her. I mean, just crazy,” she said.
Lenny Syer, of Melvindale, said some people lost all inhibitions, even muscling small children out-of-the-way.
“There was people who was physically putting their hands on people’s childs (sic) and moving them. It was unbelievable,” he said.
Additional help was called in from Michigan State Police, who helped Taylor police control the melee and disperse the crowd. Four people were arrested, but police say no one was injured.
Police say the event will be rescheduled, although specific details still need to be worked out.
“Due to the high demand of the Section 8 vouchers, we will meet with HUD Representatives to discuss the series of events, re-evaluate the distribution method and implement a process that ensures a greater level of efficiency and safety,” Mary Radamacher, Director of the Taylor Housing Commission, said in a statement.
Some of those in attendance Saturday said they hope organizers will be extra cautious and bring in additional security to insure things go differently next time.
According to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, the Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher program is the federal government’s major program for assisting very low-income families, the elderly and the disabled to afford decent, safe and sanitary housing in the private market. A housing subsidy is paid to the landlord directly by the government on behalf of the participating family, which then pays the difference between the actual rent charged by the landlord and the amount subsidized by the program.

Faldo notes: So the landlord charges $1500 for a $1000 a month rental. The tenant pays the $1000 – either with money, sex or drugs or some combination – and the taxpayer pays the landlord $500.
Or the landlord gets $500 from the taxpayer, $500 from the tenant – then eventually nothing from the tenant. The tenant eventually uses the $500 savings on on drugs, alcohol, cell phones, sex and partying – until thrown out of the rental.
The landlord then takes losses far larger than the rent he collected (whether he actually did or not will depend on the tenant), and will pay no taxes on the money he made. The tenant will then start the process over with a different landlord.
Only the taxpayer continues to be the one losing out. Welcome to Obamaville and the United States of Idiots.

SpartanFlash Wins the First Tourney of the New NPP Season

Find two of something. Faldo sees two foot prints.

It is SpartanFlash's second NPP win, and he got the first back in 2011. But due to other commitments, he can’t be as regular a player as he would like. From the looks of the way he handled this stable of poker greats many players here are fine with that!

A fantastic crowd tonight as nineteen players made it to the NPP felt on opening night. Thanks to everyone for your loyalty. Faldo is deeply thankful for this support. Many of you make it when you can - and I am thankful to all of you.

On to the action: 

8 min: A short-stacked (SS) Sanster89 (19^th) runs into Rjmech with (AK).

22 min: Lump2 (18^th) calls with (AQ), but Rjmech has (AK). I see a pattern here.

32 min: T3chlady (17^th) sees her (KK) get run down by Rjmech’s (AK). Yep - a pattern.

39 min: A SS Tomservo2 (16^th) with (AJ) is double-teamed by Wingsfancurt (77) and the winner – Theedouble*d with (KK).

43 min: Tigercub8189 (15^th) Missed it playing a hand.

48 min: Absea98 (14^th) with (AJ) hits two pair but ThePunk75 makes the Broadway straight with (AK). Anna Kournikova is hot tonight!

55 min: 8thmile (13^th) started the tourney then blinded out.

1^st break:

Boother Had a Fun New Year’s Day Poker Game

Deanna Merryman has a message for all not joining the NPP Tuesday League

Boother offered his man cave for the festivities. He also offered all the snacks you could eat and beer you could drink! My idea of the perfect host!

In attendance at the Boother tournament table were Matchy, Bo, Kegger, Dave E, and of course Faldo. 

The game got started a little after 1pm – with a cheap buy-in - and after a few introductory hands of Holdem, Omaha 8 H/L, and Omaha, we moved on to some of the ‘silly’ games.

But it was another fine day of poker action, breaking up near 8pm so we could all get ready for the fast approaching work week. 

Thanks Boother for hosting!

Note to everyone: Please assist me in shaming Matchy and Boother into returning to the NPP League – and inviting Dave, Kegger and Bo to join also. Comments please!
