Upon reading the collective ideas of the OPC/New Era who are keen for a Bathurst vs Orange poker event, I immediately thought: Why leave it at a Bx vs Ox poker tournament, I (and the rest of the Hats) would much rather a points-based teams event in a similar vein to the Ultimate Teams Event in Sydney, where players have a shootout into a larger tournament, gaining points for where they place on the day with the team accumulating the most points being declared the best team in the region?
I know that the mo'fuckin HATS ain't scared. What does the OPC, New Era, Big Nutz, Go Web Go, TCW and even the mighty (crap) Team T think of this proposal?

The Five Hats Heads Up Challenge
Or as we like to pronounce it, the "Fuck." (FHHUC)
It's Stylez here at Matty P's crib just posting after the first two rounds of our Five Hats Round Robin heads up challenge.
In the first heat, Matty P versed Benny in a squeaky-tight match. In the fortieth or so minute, when the blinds were 200/400, Ben picked up wired Jacks in the small blind and made it 1400 to roll, after losing around 400 in the hand before. His stack was 2600 so he had pot committed himself. Matty awoke to pocket 7s and put Big Ben all in for the rest of his chips. The first card rolled over was a 7 and Ben was sent to the rail with Matty picking up the first win of the FHHUC.
Stylez and Sarah played in their next match, and as we're pretty much known for being the most aggressive in the team the action heated up pretty quickly. After raising preflop on the button with 9hTd, I (Stylez) got a somewhat miracle headsup flop of KQJ with the K and J being spades. I fired out a fairly solid bet of 400 into a pot of 600 which Sare thought about before making the call. the turn was another spade and I hated that card, (I think it was a 4.) I did a big bet again and Sarah quickly called so I had to put her either on a monster two pair or a draw. The river was the ugliest thing I ever saw: the Queen of spades, that put 4 spades on the board, which I figured would counterfeit my straight. Sarah fired a monster bet when I checked to her and I folded. She turns over the dirty BLUFF with J4 offsuit, NO SPADES. Bah.
Anyway after whittling me down we got to 200-400 blinds and I pushed all in for 1500 with KJ offsuit. Sarah made the call with 8sTs for the turned straight and the first round win.
I've just finished my second match with Matty P (Benny and Sarah are still playing) where Matty slowplayed his KK to the death of him when I turned a straight with the same hand Sarah beat me with -- 8sTs. Matty had around 400 left after that monster pot and I just kept putting him all in whenever I was the smallblind (except, luckily, for one time when I didnt like the look of Ten Deuce [Doyle] and Matty angrily rolled over the pocket rockets AA) eventually I put Matty all in with JhTh and he called with As3c and I turned a flush for the win.
Matty will be in here to do the next update as it happens...

Carving up the cashgames.
The hats are rampaging through the Bathurst cashgame scene, with Sarah and Matty P both final tabling at last night's St. Pat's club and Stylez and Diz Lizzle coming top 16 also. At the home of "Wizadd" Mark Cowie we played a bit of $.20/$.40 NL with Matty and Stylez both cashing out for around 3-4 buyins each.
We also started a balling gangsta game called Jackpot... just to make the money move around the table while you're playing toight loike a toiger at the card table waiting for bullets... it was hella fun and we had some pretty big jackpots ($20+) which was just good to make sure there was always some form of gambling going on.
Speaking of gambling, look at this cockhead on Pokerstars. Goddamn it irritates me that my money from that one dirty suckout will be going to some other, better player than this chasing fuckwit.
Stylez OUT
