ThePunk75 Wins for the 8th Time in 2016!

ThePunk75 has one for every NPP win!

Obviously The Punk is now at another level! Although eight wins in a season is not a record (11 is by Rounder in 2007), it is the third most ever in a season! He ties 7Jokers for third, who also had 8 wins in 2007.
Rounder in 2007 had 11 wins!
Lump2 has the 2nd most wins in a season with 9 in 2012.

LittleRedElf (2009), Douge2 (2014), and Rjmech (2013) are in 4th (or 5th if you want to be picky) with 7 wins in a season.

But keep in mind, the fields were usually a little smaller and may not be as tough as they are now. But....then again, we had a lot of strong players back then also, so even wading thru them in a sit-n-go was no easy task.

Oh to have the great ones of the past return to do battle with the stars of today! It would be great poker - and Faldo might as well retire to the rail and watch the action from a safe distance!

There are 50 rounds in a season and winning 15% or 20% of the tournaments is quite a feat!

But back to this past week, the top dogs are fighting it out to get the 3rd seat in the NPP final. ThePunk75 would be leading this quarter too, but he already has a seat so we move to the next set of players:

2nd - Derf-63 (3rd in the 3rd quarter race)
3rd - Tomservo2 (2nd in the 3rd quarter race)
4th - Mikeniks-Faldo (1st in the 3rd quarter race)
Bubble - LittleRedElf (4th place in the 3rd quarter race)

Keep in mind that Faldo is a wildcard so if he hangs on to the lead, the 2nd place person also gets a seat! Right now it is a 3 horse race to the wire with ONE round remaining!

Be here next week for the exciting conclusion to the 3rd quarter! You can practice up or pick up much needed Totals points as maybe as many as two players will exit that list also with seats already locked up!

Congratulations to ThePunk75 on his 32nd NPP win!

The Man Code - Part I of III

1. Thou shall not watch chick flicks. If forced to in order to score, look at your date's legs or boobs the entire movie. She will know you are "into her". Or want to be.

2. Under no circumstanced to two men share an umbrella.

3. Any man who takes pictures at the bachelor party can be legally killed.

4. When you are asked as to the whereabouts of a buddy's wife, girlfriend, or girlfriends, mistresses, mother, priest, shrink, accountant, the IRS, the police or doctor, you may not provide any useful information. You are permitted to deny his very existence!

5. Unless he murdered someone in your family, you must bail your buddy out of jail within 24 hours.

6. If you go hunting, fishing, golfing, bowling, play in a weekly/monthly poker game, go to a pro or college sports event - more than once - or have more than 12 beers total with any guy - his mother, wife, girlfriends, sisters and nieces are OFF LIMITS! Cousins are still in play.

7. If a guy is more than 5 minutes late, you are no longer required to wait. He knows this. For a woman you are required to wait 10 minutes for every point of HOTNESS you awarded her.

8. Bitching about the brand of free beer in a buddy's refrigerator is forbidden. However, if the temperature is not suitable, you may bitch and the beer doesn't count as a solid.

9. No man should ever buy another man a birthday present. It's considered very optional and even slightly gay. Birthday shots are permitted.

10. Talking to the "6" or lower friend of the hot girl your buddy is hitting on is your legal duty as a man.

More next time.
