Let's see if anyone can stop the unstoppable. Stacey has taken down the last two tourneys in Roccoland. And... she took down the WAM. Read all about it here.
Game 7 - Saturday, May 17th, 6PM
Freeze-out $20 buy-in, $10 one time add-on. Max 20 players.
Stacey took down another tourney. Two in a row for the Jersey Girl. She mowed down the field by eliminating 5 of the tiny field of 9. A few late cancellations made the game a cozy one. Hey, I made the final table!
I played OK, putting a few people on hands, but it was a night where it was hard to get action when I had cards and i got plenty of action when I had OK hands or tried to make any sort of move.
We are scheduled to have another game on 4/19. See the signup below, right after the latest stats.

Here are the stats from the last tourney. I can remember a few notable funny quotes. Enjoy. Thanks to everyone that brought something to share.
"Oh my God, I got QUADS!" - Stacey, when she rivered Quad 6's against Scott
"I will give you one chance to chop, because I am going to take this down." - Stacey, with about a 2.5 to 1 chip disadvantage to Michael heads-up. He took it.
Classic!

Game 4 Results - Game 5 Registration (Sat - 3/15 @ 6PM)
Well, this post will be another short one. We had Sales Training last week off-site and I had to speak in front of 130 people. It was a little nerve wracking and I was busy preparing. After that, Stacey and I were heading out of town and things were pretty hectic. Now, I finally have a few minutes to update the tournament results.
Unfortunately, most of the details have long faded. I was out fairly early, my ply was bad and I wasn't patient enough to wait out a bad run of cards.
To start things off, Rico was te fish, Mike was the Shark, Cindy was the Bounty Target.
Here are the results.
Congratulations to Rico on a big win. Of the last four tournaments, Rico has been the fish twice and the shark once. What is he doing with these stuffed animals?
Rico aslo collected the bounty on Cindy.

I am going to have to bail on the write-up this time. I am preparing for a conference next week and I am swamped. Here are the stats from last week's game. Also, I have added the latest registration entries for Game 4 - scheduled for this Saturday night, 3/1, at 6 PM.

We had a fantastic night of poker and it was great to play again. We had 15 players donkeys this week. We started off the night by returning to the shark and fish stuffed animal tradition. The player from the previous game that won gets the shark , and the player that was the first one out, you guessed it, gets the fish .
Because we chopped after 50 minutes of donkey on donkey violence the previous week, Armando and I were eligible for the shark. I gave the shark to Armando because he is “The best poker player Henry knows”.
Rico got the fish – ‘nuff said.
We also randomly selected a player to have a bounty on their head. Arnie won this honor and his head was worth $10.
Play started tight just like last week and there were not too many big hands in the first hour. Tim proved to be hyper-aggressive in his betting and went the full hour taking down a lot of pots and never showing his cards. We were all baffled. Was he playing strong starting hands, hitting flops, or full of $%^#? I think it was some of all three and that made it even tougher to figure out his cards.
Rico made a few good reads and put David O. squarely on 2 pair with AT. Rico folded AK on a board giving him TPTK. What to think? He’s making good reads but has the fish stuffed animal. If you look at my trophy case, there is a trophy with has name on it for the most rebuys in a tournament (5), a record he’s proudly held for over a year.
Maybe Rico’s poker improvement can best be described by this picture. The funny part is at the end he’s a Homo something or other. Michael made the chart too , based on Armando's previous claims.
Mac was the first player to exit the game. He played well and took some chips off me when I chased a flush and a straight. It was nice having him over and hope to see him at future games.
Ian, Stacey, Scott and Clara followed and we had a final table.
Play continued and Michael Allen was the first final table casualty. Stuart knocked out Arnie and took in the $10 bounty. Cindy and then Armando were eliminated and we were down to 6.
Play continued and Rico was eliminated. After were at this official bubble stage we decided to safe out $30. I am glad we did, because I was the next one out. I had 108K at one point and went three orbits without any playable hands. I was down to 40K in the BB with 78o. The flop was 694 and I jammed. Stuart called and I got no love for the straight. I was out in 5th.
The top four played for quite a while until Henry got eliminated. The next to fall was David O.
The chip stacks for Stuart and Tim were 265 and 260 respectively. It couldn’t be more even. They decided to play for 30 minutes and then discuss a chop. They traded chips back and forth until one critical hand.
Stuart had KJ Tim had 44
They got it all-in and the board fell as 883, turn 5, river 5.
Tim’s 44 is counterfeited and Stuart wins with a K high, although the J was enough. This left Tim with about 100K.
Stuart stepped up the pressure. Tim made his move with J9o and Stuart called with KTo. The board fell as 48K, turn 6, (Tim drawing dead), river 3.
Stuart was this week’s champ. This boy is on a mad run. In his honor, we have the following video.

The Frequent Player Program
I discussed an idea I have had with Stacey and we have decided to introduce a Frequent Player Program (FPP) for our players.
The program will allow players to earn points towards either a free rebuy or add-on. All you need to do is show up and play. The first time you play, you get 1 point. The next consecutive time you play, you get 2 points, another consecutive play, 3 points and so on. Once you reach 25 points, you will earn a free add-on or rebuy.
If you miss a consecutive week, you start back at 1 point. Once you cash in a rebuy or add-on points start collecting from 1 again, regardless of your consecutive streak. If you have over 25 points the balance will roll-over.
We decided to make this retroactive to Game 1 of this season.
I will post the status of the FPP program after each game.
, and the player that was the first one out, you guessed it, gets the fish

Michael made the chart too
