Results and shit.
I guess amidst all the talking of Donkeys and such, I've forgotten to let all you out there in the land of Internet know how well the Hats have been doing on the local poker scene. Here's the skinny.
BENNY: Cashgaming it at the home games with the best of the ballers. Though self proclaimed "terrible" at Blind Man's Bluff, takes chips from others like it's going out of fashion. When he's not running tournaments, he's winning them. Notable results of late:
Lithgow $10 freezeout, Commercial Hotel - 1st
Orange $10 rebuys w/ addon, Aaron Hotel - 5th
DIZ LIZ: Another cashgame monster, Diz has also done well of late, taking down numerous cash prizes in the tourneys around town, winning the St. Pats club this week and placing in the top 3 at the $10 rebuy at the Kelso Hotel.
RABS: Though he's been quiet on the poker scene of late, when he does play, he plays good. Last time he played at the $10 rebuy at the Aaron, out of 41 runners with over $1000 in rebuys and addons, he placed 2nd.
SARAH+MATT: Sarah and Matty have recently been to Crown whilst in Melbourne, but when playing in the Central West, they always consistently place, making final tables in nearly every tourney they enter.
And as for moi, despite some depressing beats at the donkalicious tables of Star City, I'm back on the horse, placing 5th at the Kelso rebuy last week and splitting the pot for 1st and 2nd at the Wednesday Ox event. You'll see me in the seedy underbelly of the homegame poker scene as usual... grinding it out at the low stakes, building my next bankroll up for the next Star City visit ... which'll probably be donked off later.
Fellow hats, if I've missed any of your spectacular placings, just post a comment and let anyone reading know exactly how gangsta it was.

Bathurst's BIGGEST DONKEY!
It seems to be a trend with other local blog sites to big themselves and their teams up by reporting EXACTLY to you, the blog-reading public, who the biggest donkeys in the region are. They'll tell you what they play, who they are, why they're so bad, and how often they win by luck.
Not to be outdone, the FIVE HATS AND SHIT crew decided to scour the region looking for who, indeed, is the region's BIGGEST donkey.
Our results were conclusive. We found the worst poker player in Bathurst, nay, the world. His name is Sven, and he lives right outside of town on a little farm. He doesn't do much except play poker all day, yet he's still SUCH a donkey. He calls with any ace or pocket pair, even when we KNOW our bluffs should be knocking him senseless. Ostensibly, he shouldn't be able to match the extremely gangsta skills of the HATS.
But Sven is no ordinary bad player. He just calls our bluffs, sometimes holding nothing but Ace high! I mean, what is that? He cleaned up all our shit by calling when he should have folded, and getting lucky with crappy cards! WHAT A DONKEY.
Sven challenged all our crew to a game of heads up, and we just laughed so hard the region was swallowed up by an intense gale force wind. But he persisted, so Sven ended up taking all of us on.
One by one we dropped out to his donkey calls! He just accumulated chip after chip! He called our bluffs and got lucky on his bad calls! What a donkey! There was no way to beat this damned donkey, even though we knew we were far superior in poker skill to him.
After 20 minutes of donkaments, he took the last chip from me. He had beaten the hats using nothing but donk poker skills.
Ah Sven, you truly are Bathurst's biggest DONKEY!
Here's a pic of Sven, smiling like a DONK after his stupid win.
