Season 14 - Week 2

BPC Season 14 - Week 2
----------------------

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!  I hope everyone had a great day!  We all have so much to be thankful for, and more often than not, that includes looking down at a big pkt pair on Thursdays.  Well not this week.  Just an hour into Week 2 play on Table 1, we get an all-in and a call from Santa Cayce and the Godfodder.  Jagu shows K-9 diamonds.  "Crap, you have one of my outs," we hear Santa say, as he turns over my old friends, the pkt K's.  2 diamonds on the flop, and one on the river means Santa is out, and someone just made the naughty list.

Meanwhile on Table 3 at nearly the exact same time, we have 3 all-in's with Papa Kumo, Julius and Fkamiah.  Jules is behind with pkt dueces, as is Papa Kumo with my buddies the pkt K's because card magnet Fkamiah has the pkt Aces.  Nothing comes and the pkt Aces hold, sending Papa to the rail.

Finally, a bit later when we're playing 5 way, Fkamiah and I are two of the chip leaders, blinds are 2000-4000 with me in the little and Fkamiah in the big.  I look down at pkt-Aces and raise to 12,000, getting a call from Fka-card-magnet.  Flop comes 7-9-J and I check.  I don't care for that flop at all, especially with Fkamiah's penchant for playing his hand... Q-10.  I care for it even less when he bets out 25,000.  Too much money in there though, and I shove, he calls, showing A-10 hearts.  Turn comes... 8, giving him a nasty straight and a monster chip stack lead.  Crap.

Fkamiah was able to ride our chips all the way to 1st place, giving him back to back wins to start the season, and a huge jump out to the Mini-Season 1 lead.  Well done.

Cowboy Slick Rick pulls in 2nd place for his second pointing in a row, and Jeena took the final money spot at 3rd.

Jaclyn, playing for last season's Point Champion Team KarJacly took 4th, and as previously groaned about, I took 5th.

Hee Hall playing for Team Heemo was the Bubble.  (I think.)

Season 14 - Week 1

BPC Season 14 - Week 1
----------------------

Season 14 kicked of with some fireworks on the very first hand.  Ed, new player and grandpa of Karrie, finds himself with pkt deuces and the board comes 2-A-3.  A flopped set is never a bad thing, right?  I'm not sure how the betting went, but the pot got big quickly with Padma along for the ride, all the way to the river when the board pairs the 3.  He wasn't all in, but it was a big pot.  Ed shows his 2's full of 3's, and Padma shows... Aces full.  Set over set on the flop.  Doh.  There's a term for that I think, but this is a family show so I'll refrain from using it.  Let's just say its painful if you're on the wrong side of it.

The very next hand, only the second hand dealt in this very new season, Ed goes all in with top pair Aces.  Jagu calls with a flush draw, and hits on the river.  Double doh.  Rude.  Aren't the new guys supposed to win?

Speaking of winning, Fkamiah takes down the win last night starting the season off right.

Papa Kumo follows up his 2nd place kiddie table showing with a 2nd place, and Potts got 3rd.

Cowboy Slick Rick was 4th. Jeff Hee Hall and Remo will be playing as team Heemo this year.  Remo played for the team in Week 1, and survived numerous all-in's on the bubble zone to get the scrappy 5th.

I was the bubble.

Teams this season:

Hee Hall + Remo = Heemo
Charlie + Earl = Churl
Karrie + Jaclyn + Kelly = KarJackly

Season 13 - Final Table!

Season 13's Final Table Winner is...

The Godfather!!!!

More details to come later, but CONGRATS JAGU!!!!

 

Season 13 - Week 25

BPC Season 13 - Week 25
-----------------------

And there we have it folks, lucky number Season 13 is in the books!!!  Lock it.  There's no way I can do it justice now, this write up is so very, very late, and so is the time, but if I don't do it now it may never get done.

Let's start with the winner of this, the final week of the season... none other than... REMO!!!  Nicely done Remopolis!  Its only his 3rd pointing of the season in 21 tries, but his other 2 were 2nd places, so when he gets close, he knows how to finish.

Coming in second was this season's dream trio... KarJackly!!!  They came into the final week as the points leader, and no one else within striking distance pointed so they had it locked up.  Was that good enough for them?  Hells no.  They (and by "they" I mean Karrie) just went ahead and got an additional 12 points for the team.  Way to rub our collective noses into it.  And way to make the Century Club.

Point being, our Points Champion for Season 13 is... 3 chicks. 

Awesome.  Way to make it tough on the plaque engraver.  How in the Fkamiah are they going to fit 3 names on that little 1"x1/2" little rectangle?  Think I'll go ahead and blast some Dixie Chicks and watch some Charlie's Angels while poor mister engraver figures it out.

Just kidding.  I'm actually listening to Glee. 

In the meantime, let's just break down the magic 3-way that is KarJackly, in the only way I know how... tabular form...

Player Games Pts Avg
--------------------
Karrie  7   41  5.86
Kelly   9   41  4.56
Jacoff  9   25  2.78

Yeah i could have went with pictures, but I'm a gleek.  You feeling me?  Point is, the beeyatches done beeyatch-slap all of us.

CONGRATS KARJACKLY!!!!!  WELL DONE!!!!  Smooches.

Yeah, I'm bitter.  Only because I won't be there at the Final Table.  But that's another story.  But seriously, congrats ladies, if it couldn't be me, then I can't think of any other 3 chick combo that I would have picked.  Plus, you ensured that Chess didn't win, which means extra prop bets for me and Fkamiah.  And on top of that, Club 99 remains extremely exclusive.  Extremely.  Members only please.

Coming in 3rd for Week 25 was our very own Cowboy Slick Rick.  Let the record reflect that CSR only played in the last 13 weeks of the season, enough to earn him a cheap buy in to the second table, but he also averaged 4.23 points in the 13 weeks he played.  That's more than everyone else except for this season's Points Championchicks, KarJackly.  (Let the record also reflect that my boy Ant was in 3rd with a 4.14 avg.  Law skool is so over-rated Ant, come back to your true calling.)

Coming in 4th for the week was perennial but semi-retired Champ Jeff Spongebob Hall.  I think he's taken home a trophy in just about every season he's played in, so let's hope he comes back for a full season soon to defend his tiara.

And finally coming in the scrappy 5th place was Fkamiah, picking up the exact number of points he needed to land on the Top 9 bubble.  Which means he gets top chip stack at the second table and a big atta-boy from the rest of us.

Mike was Bubble Boy for the week, which stings a little bit, but he also ended up placing in 4th overall, AND won the 5th and final Mini-Season, taking away the sting slightly and giving him more than enough to win the Final Table.  Or at the very least place in the top 3.  Any bets?

Congrats everyone again who made it to the Final Table, and thank you thank you thank you thank you to the Burnett's for hosting another wonderful BPC season.
