NYRPS Event #12 Results

Sorry for the lack of pimpage for the event last night: I left my house to go to work at 8:30 AM, and didn't get home until 9:10 PM after work, running to a customer after work, dinner and bowling. I was able to make a header for a blogpost via my iPod Touch, but couldn't put text in.

Oh well. 16 people still signed up for the event, which was Heads Up PLO Shootout, including 4 new players; Bloggers DDionysus (Pokah Dave) and InstantTragedy, along with 2 unknowns, Kazor and Rusty Wilson.

With 16 people for a Heads-Up tournament, there were no byes, and thus no complaints.

My opening match was against PinkyStinky, and we each played VERY tight (lots of limping and checking). He slowly built a 4000 to 2000 lead, which I responded to by turning up the aggression, and thus taking a 4000 to 2000 lead of my own. However, he responded by turning up even more aggression, and took a 3K pot down, and I could never recover.

PinkyStinky joined hoyazo, bloodslut, twoblackaces, heffmike, kazor, Rusty Wilson and Defending NYRPS Champ ChampSampson in the second round.

The winners of the Second Round found the Money, and they were bloodslut, hoyazo, kazor and ChampSampson.

Bloodslut and kazor went to the heads up match which lasted under 20 minutes. kazor took the final hand, the $72 first place prize and a seat at the TOC. bloodslut took his third cash (and first since Event #2) of the series to move into 3rd place on the overall standings.

The Top 10 in Points:

TheSlinger	234.16
iaatg6296	210.5
bloodslut	150.9
NYRambler	140
Oaklandish	128
ferrisbuellr	125
PirateLawyer	109.6
chitwood	103.5
twoblackaces	96
ChampSampson	89

Next Week, for NYRPS Event #13, is Limit Hold 'em. To ensure that you're not bored out of your mind for the first half hour, there is no Double Stack. 1500 Starting Chips.

"'grats!"
"How does a loser like you win. Jesus. what is the world coming to."

Mookie #2!

Wheeeee!

A very fun final table, and an fun heads-up match with Blinders who played very aggressive. The Final Hand, he did his usual button raise, I decided to put him in with KQ, he had AJ. A 40% chance to win my second Mookie and the King on the Turn gave me the lead, and two pairing with a Queen on the river ships it to me.

Mookie will have a full Final Table recap on his site tomorrow.

NYRPS Event #11

Tonight is the 11th event in the NYRPS: Good ol' No Limit Hold 'em, but with 6-handed tables.

Password is 'epicfail' as always, and the Tournament ID# is 67602111.

Also, I have added 2 more special tournaments to the series: they are both satellites to the 2 big events in March.

On March 23 and March 30 at 7:30pm ET, there are satellites to the NYRPS Event that night. (For the March 23 tournament, I'm awarding a Token... and you can take the 33 T$ instead in the March 30 tournament).

Both tournaments are Turbo, Regular Stacked, $11 tournaments. NYRPS Points are not awarded for these tournaments. And I will not be playing in these tournaments since I set them up during my Bowling League (yes I set these up knowing I won't be playing them)
