Season 12 - Week 10

BPC Season 12 - Week 10
-----------------------

Mini-Season 2 is in the books! Neither Mike nor Jagu pointed last night, for the first time since Week 2, but neither did any of the other 4 players that were in contention, so The Godfodder holds on to the victory! And holy crap, I just noticed he won the freakin first one too!   That means he's already won 600,000 bonus chips for the final table so far, with 3 Mini-Seasons left to play, plus where ever he ends up in the standings. Monster.

And he's already pretty much guaranteed a seat a the Final Table too. He's got 60 points, with 15 weeks left. He can get last place every week and still get 75 points, which has been the new bubble lately. Again, that's macho. Very macho.

Chester took down the win last night, for his first 1st place of the season, and third pointing overall. The win moves him up to 3rd place overall, just 5 points behind Mike (yipes!) but still 17 behind Jagu.

Earl got really short stacked after trying to make a move on Jagu, but ending up losing most of his chips. After that though he went on da roll and ends up with 2nd place.

Nicole bagged 3rd place, for her 4th pointing and best finish of the season so far, and is back in the Top 9 for the first time since Week 3. (I hope I didn't put my money on the wrong Alzona.)

Hee Hall got 4th, Remo was the Scrappy, and Kurticus was the Bubble.

Season 12 - Week 9

BPC Season 12 - Week 9
----------------------

(Finally)

This blind squirrel has finally found a nut. After 8 weeks the dry spell is over and I was finally able to get some points in last night's game. 15 of them in fact, thankyouverymuch.

This year's eventual points champion Mike continues his hot run with another 2nd place finish, his third of the season. He also stays true to the "week on, week off" pattern that both he and Jagu have adhered to thus far. The final hand of the night came when both Mike and I were looking for a very specific hand. I forgot what the betting was, but the flop came 2-3-4. That's pretty specific. Lots of chips go in, and the turn comes 7. All our chips end up in the pot after that, and Mike shows A-5 for the bottom end of the straight. And yes, I had 5-6 for the top end. Yay for me.

Jagu didn't point last night, but he's still our overall leader by 12 points. That's macho. He's also still the Mini-Season 2 leader, but not by much and with a pack of people within striking distance with just 1 week left.

Padma got in the moh-ney with a 3rd place and moves past Charlie and Newlius into 3rd place overall.

The Milkman, who was also 0 for the season (but only played in 7 of the 8 games) also finally is in the points with a 4th place. Omar, who had half the chips at one point, ends up with the scrappy 5th. He's only played in 4 games this season, and has pointed in 3 of them. Last nights finish moves him into the Top 9 for the first time this season, tied for 8th with Karjacked and Jeena.

Potts was the Bubble.

This video has nothing to do with poker, its an extended discussion on Chester's farts and one of Jeena's early experiences getting dutch oven-ed in the car with him.

Season 12 - Week 8

BPC Season 12 - Week 8
----------------------

The Godfather is on da roll!!! He's got his second win of the season (on top of two 2nd places,) and has established a nice little week off, week on pattern that is good enough to put him an impressive 23 points ahead of this season's eventual points champion, Mike. Jagu is also the leader for Mini-Season 2, but only by 7 points ahead of Omar, who has only played 3 games all season. I sense that Omar is looking to establish the record for least amount of games to play and still make it to the final table. (A record he probably already holds.)

No one else in the Top 9 pointed last night.

Judy however, snaps her 7 week dry spell with a nice 2nd place finish, and leaves me as the last man standing in the 0 for 8 club. Damn. I deserved it last night, after trying to do football picks and play a monster hand against Remo at the same time, I misread my hand and it cost me about 15,000. That's one vote for donkey of the year. I should know I suck at multi-tasking.

Remo was able to take those chips and move them all the way up to 3rd place.

The 4 handed game lasted about 3 hours. Literally. I don't know what was going on over there, but Nicole was the first to blink and got 4th. Earl was 5th and Chess was this week's Bubble Boy.
