BPC Season 12 - Week 13
-----------------------
It was a Kumo one-two finish last night, with me just squeaking out the win, and Papa-san coming in second for his first pointing of his BPC career. Its only my 3rd pointing of the season, but it moves me up to 5th place overall, tied with Chess, and in the Top 9 for the first time this season. No looking back now.
After a 7 week dry spell, Arjan is back in the points with a 3rd. It comes at the right time as he was hanging on by a thread in the Top 9, tied with Steven for 9th place. He now moves up to 7th overall.
Padma is in the points yet again last night with a 4th place finish, her 5th pointing of the year, and moves up to 4th place overall, passing by Chess.
Jeremiah was the scrappy 5th, and he drops down from 7th to 8th, but at the same time moves ahead of Newlius, who after starting the season strong has not pointed in the last 7 weeks (6 showings) and is just hanging on to the final Top 9 spot. David was the Bubble Boy.
Scott and Charlie are tied for the lead in Mini-Season 3, but with 2 weeks left its still anyone's to take.
The season is officially over the half way point.

BPC Season 12 - Week 12
-----------------------
Solid poker indeed. Charlie outlasted the group last night, and takes down his first win of the season, and 6th pointing in all (more than anyone else.) He moves up from 5th to 3rd overall, passing Chess and Padma along the way. Well done Chucky.
After going the first 7 weeks without pointing, last season's Points Champion Earl is back to his old tricks and sneaking up the leaderboard. He got 2nd last night, and has pointed in 3 of the last 5 weeks. He's now snuck into the Top 9, tied for 9th with Arjan.
Mike, (this season's eventual points champion if Jagu ever decides to slow down,) got 3rd place, and needed it to keep him in 2nd place overall, just a point ahead of Charlie.
I got pkt Aces 3 times last night. The first time, early in the night from the little blind, I picked a whopping 300 chips from the big blind and one caller. The second time was against Chess in a good sized pot, and he put me on a decision with a pair of 6's on the board making me sweat profusely. The third time they got severely cracked against some crap hand at the final table, sending me home in 4th place. So rude.
Kurt was the Scrappy, and Chris was the Bubble for the 2nd week in a row.

BPC Season 12 - Week 11
-----------------------
This update is way late, and I can't even remember what happened. But it looks like Jagu starts off Mini-Season 3 with yet another win. Monster. As of week 11, he's got a 26 point lead over 2nd place, and a 43 point lead over 9th place. He's on pace for a 170 point season. Gawdfodder es muy macho.
And to add a little icing to the cake, Judy got 2nd! The 12 points push her up into the Top 9 for the first time this season.
Jeremiah got 3rd, and is back in the Top 9 after being booted out back in Week 7.
Charlie got 4th and Padma got 5th. Both have been playing solidly this season, and now have their 5th and 4th pointings of the season, respectively.
Chris was the Bubble Boy. I talked to him later and he said he played too passively at the end, and wasn't going to do that again. Let's see how it works out for him next week.

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.

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.

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.
