If anyone doubted my poker ability, you'll see that I'm in the NPL top 20 -- AHAH.
Not impressed? Well, if you check the NPL website, you'll see that I'm in there TWICE.
So stick that in your pipe and smoke it!

Results of late...
Hey kidlets, haven't been playing much APL/NPL games of late but here are a few results for our very balling (and now SouthPark-ified) Five Hats. Sarah and Matty have been decimating the St. Pats club, with consecutive Final Tables and a win for Matty and a final table (that I know of) for Sarah.
Rabs came third at the massive Sunday night Panthers game (the region's biggest freeroll), headbutting all opposition with his superior cards and boyish good looks.
As for myself I've been tearing through the NPL lately, though ironically in Orange when I go to help Benny. Not much since the NPL is only fledgling in Orange garnering between 15-30 players per event but I'm still enjoying outplaying the donks. My results so far are:
Aaron Hotel game 1: 4th
Aaron Hotel game 2 (money game): 4th (bubble. damn)
Aaron Hotel sitngo 9handed: 1st
Royal Hotel: 2nd (well 3rd since Benny played and won but he wasn't counted)
Royal Hotel sitngo 9handed: 2nd
Aaron Hotel game 1: 2nd (see my badbeat on Mauler's blog)
Aaron Hotel game 2 (money): 4th (not a bubble this time, they paid top 4, SCORE)
Not that bad... I should probably hit up some more APL, but last Sunday I was too busy drinking the vodka we won at the Royal.
Also if anyone is keen for a game of headsup HORSE, I'll take challengers ranging from $10 to $50 (any more than that is out of my current finances)... I've been playing nothing but HORSE online and have been loving it.
Anyway, Stylez OUT.

The proposed "Bathurst vs Orange" poker event.
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.

Have an update, fuckers.
"Stylez update your fucking blog."
"At least I update my blog."
"Update your blog and I will suck your man meat."
These are just some of the whingy, whiney (and sometimes arousing) sentiments I hear from members of the Bathurst/Orange poker community EVERY DAY since I arrived back in Bathurst from my sojourn in Newcastle with Phil for the WPPT. So here it is bitches, the reason I haven't been updating is because... I didn't know what ballers were doing back here in the B-Town ghetto. And the answer is... a lot of poker/gangsta related shit. Of course. We're mofucking hats.
So here's some skinny for yas. The homegame scene has been booming in Bathurst at least with APL seemingly shriveling up and dying, being reduced to just one freeroll and one pro series.
NPL is going ok too, but the money is really to be made from the NPL TDs and owners at the home games... with Matty P, Big Ben and me raking a shitload from players like Pat, Novak and Addell(sp) at Mark and Jenny Cowie's place. The bomb shit.
Specially of note as well, was Matty P's blazing hotstreak with a WIN of St. Pats club (knocking out a former WSOP 70th place finisher [70th out of 8773, mind you]) as well as Matty P and me making the final table of the NPL $10 rebuy game at the Kelso, agreeing to a 4-way $200 split when we were down to 4 players. Cha-ching.
So there's your update. If you want more of this gangsta update shit... do it when I'm not busy. I've got poker to play and fish to exploit.

WPPT Report
Hey kids, its Stylez here writing from Newcastle, in the middle of the grand week of poker that my mate has dubbed the WPPT -- The Will and Phil Poker Tour.
So far we've played 2 major Wild Turkey games with some less than profitable results. In the $55 Big Freeze event at Souths Juniors Phil busted out in around 50th after his pocket 9s button raise ran into the Big Blind who had awoken to pocket Queens. Finding himself pot committed Phil had to push all in when he was reraised.
Will had a more annoying situation. With around 3 tables left, we arrived straight from the break. In the big blind for 2000, it was folded around to the small blind, an old man who completed the blind. Will found Ace Eight off suit in the big blind and raised an extra 4000 to take the old man's 2000. After thinking for a moment the old man pushed all in in an exasperated manner. Sizing up the situation, Will eliminated any large pocket pair or better Ace from the old man's range of holdings and made the call. The guy flips over Queen Six offsuit a little embarrassed, and people congratulated Will on his call. However, the story always goes bad with the old man spiking a 6 on the turn which held. A little bit disappointing but not the end of the WPPT.
Yesterday started well with Will and Phil being two of the first two people to qualify to the main tournament in a massive shootout at the Newcastle Mayfield Ex-Services, taking down their tables in the first of four heats. However in the main event that night at 6:30pm, Phil busted out early when a calling station called down a pot which Phil bet heavily at with Ace high which held on the river, even on a very draw heavy board of two deuces, a Jack and a straight draw. Will grinded most of the way to the top 40 or so runners but the blinds at 300/600 forced Will all in for around 2400 with King Jack suited of diamonds and ran into the dreaded bullets.
Tonight we're playing a small $10 cashgame at the NPL in Hamilton and tomorrow Phil plays for another WTTOC ticket at the Mayfield Ex-Services again with all the Newcastle regional leaders. Next Saturday sees the Saints Shootout where the lads will again test their mettle against a bunch of Turkey Ticket wannabes. The next day is the Pro Series open where the lads will meet up with Diz Lizzle, Tamin, and Matty P at the Rooty Hill RSL -- its almost a certainty that money will be won.
