Alright, the total is published.. i'm around 207 players away of grabbing $15.000 :)
I know its a very positive way of putting that, especially my 5700 in chips isnt that much anymore seeing the list, with the contestants left.
Never the less I always do better with less :)
Wish me luck!
**** UPDATE ****
60.000 players total, 1000 finalists all over New South Wales, last top 200 final day.. an hour drive up to the event, and half an hour of total play time in the final for me :( ..
Just couldnt set my mind to play and enjoy poker.. got annoyed and walked into massive hands of my opponents.. boo !
Thats poker too..
Not a next time in a while I think..
Played an APL Pro Poker event last night at Dee Why RSL, $10 buy inn and had 137 players turning up.
Could hold up my game pretty good, even got Quad Jacks on a hand going in with 2.
- little poker story if you want to know what happened -
I had 30.000 in chips with 20 people left of the 140 players, called a 10k ALL-INN bet as I was high connected, but the guy hit his one over card on the river -bad luck-. Then I got the blinds past who were 6000/3000 at that time, so had with 11 ppl to go, only 11k left... I was sitting just before the button (means after me only the dealer and small blind and big blind left so 3 players), I looked Ace Queen.. TOP ranked hand, went All-Inn.. the guy next to me immediately called (dealer).. thought shit im up against pockets (pairs), and of all the hands he could have, he had AK.. (hmm AQ sits next to AK in one deal grrrr) so only the lady (queen) could save me or a far far away flush.. anyway dont count on a woman to save you in this situation, lol.
So anyway good training for this Saturdays final for the NPL, scoring 10th out of 140.
Only bad thing is the quick exit just made me miss the money again! @#$$# !!
Wow.. today a big storm passed by, and I couldnt capture the lightnings as I was a bit to late for that, but driving home the sky was letting some light through at the end of the storm when the sunset was also almost finished, creating these surreal lights.
Two of the 3 pics are snapped while driving holding the camera out of the car :)
I used to write some excitement away about A1GP, the to me still best balanced motor sport race in the world. Now they are racing a stone throw away from me at Eastern Creek, i'm going to share what is killing the fun!!
First of all, not many people are connected with the A1GP in Australia, that is mentally and also a big part is not able to watch it.
How come.. well, in Australia FOX pay-tv has the rights to broadcast A1GP, and although this is a nation vs nation race, only people who pay around $50,- a month to FOXtel are able to watch it.
Who created this problem I dont know, maybe Sheik Maktoum Hasher Maktoum Al Maktoum (former owner and developer of A1GP), was thinking a bit to much in getting his investments covered.. and sold to the highest bidder, who is always is Pay-Tv, or the marketing department of A1GP was only focused on $$$ and not on creating wide spread A1GP lovers and took the bait.. dont know dont care, thing is... now its in the hands of FOXtel they are holding it tight behind their iron curtains.
It is not even possible to watch the race online through A1GP's live feeds, as Australian viewers are not aloud to use this free service, just gues who ordered that.
Just before the race in Australia and the one in New Zealand, there is the minimum of Ads running on the Free To Air TV channels to get the audience at the races themselves, obviously the race tracks get some room to shout and get the boxes filled.
My point is, that FOXtel is killing a what should be a national sport, not only is this hurting the viewers, but also it is hurting the drivers and their opportunities.
So today is the A1GP race on at Eastern Creek, and I wish every team the best but Team NL is obviously my favorite. I could attend this race and I really thought about it.. but nah, its like fueling a fire I can't hold up.. and besides ive got an important birthday to attend.
For the pride of your Nations, ... ow sorry.. only for the FOXtel paying Australians.... start you engines!!
Ive made it to day two!
They started at several venues at once and all got 2000 in chips to start with. All venues played until the magic number that fits in 1 venue was reached.
I played in Massey Park Golf Club, and we had about 114 players rocking up.. after 3 hours of playing, what was rather quickly they called it quits, as the magic total number of all players left over several venue was reached.
I played nice and tight, lost 2 hands.. one I folded at the end and the other was against an all-inn for 600 total, so not much damage.. finally on a all inn with A2 suited, I got called by 9-j os, and the flop hit the Jack, but the River game me my Ace..pfieuw
I ended up with 5700 in chips and thats just below average, so I'm going to give it a try in the last day of these finals! I heard that the chip leader had around 30.000 in chips so thats no worries at all.
Hopefully I can play well this Saturday and grab 1st prize in the NSW finals day 2!
One of those typically aussie items is the stubby holder.
Stubby coolers come in various sizes, shapes and colours. Stubby coolers were once almost exclusively made of polystyrene, with or without a plastic shell, but in recent times are most commonly made of neoprene. Stubby coolers can be made from leather, cloth, metal or plastic with or without an inner liner.
Stubby coolers are often seen as a type of Australiana, and they are generally quite cheap and are often seen imprinted with logos, slogans and Australian or masculine symbols. Stubby coolers are also a common promotional item. They have been available for a number of decades.
The use of Stubby coolers is not restricted to Australia and they are seen in south-east Asia and eastern Europe with increasing regularity.
They are also used in parts of the United States of America, particularly the southern states, where they are known as a Koozie or Coozie.

Although the holder fits many type of bottles, the bottle type stubby doesnt get used that often, i've actually only seen one beer brand using the original Stubby shape bottle, and that is Victoria Bitter or better known as VB.
I remember taking some stubby holders home to my family in Holland and for me picking them had more aussie meaning then for them receiving them ive noticed. I mean, yeah.. to me this was an Aussie icon, that I could transfer, and to them its a piece of foam, never to be used.... oh but except that I brought it over maybe will prevent it will go into the bin or directly into the bin :).
And now I realize that it doesnt make much sense in having them if you dont know the culture behind it.
I tell you what... there are more people in Australia using these Stubby Holders, then there are people using Boomerangs !!!
Anyways.. here u go, some Aussie lessons.
Ps read the VB Wiki i point out before, and see some slang words for VB :), then you see what creative minds play with it... lol
