You're a Bunch of Factors

BLINDS: $100: 200

COUGAR: 1st to Act: Raises to $800 with Q Q

Fold, CALLS $800, fold, fold, fold, fold, SB folds, BB folds.

FLOP and Cougar goes ALL IN for another $1625.

CALLER CALLS THE ALL IN.

COUGAR has Q Q

CALLER has K J offsuit

THERE ARE NO KINGS, NO JACKS, NO STRAIGHTS & NO FLUSHES
ON THE BOARD.

COUGAR LOSES- HOW IS THIS POSSIBLE?

I'm assuming the board showed AAAAx

Some might wonder if it's possible to post on the forum after you said you want nothing to do with it

bad beats need to be told at any expense!

yeah four of the same number on the board would be the only way you could lose.

i hope they were duckys, that would be funny

With that board benny the cunt, the 5th card can be an ace, and would result in a split pot, not a lost pot for QQ.

Good calls guys

It was 3h, 3d, 3c, 3s

That's fine Big Pete- Take it off and also please delete What's Hot- What's not in Your NPL- all 252 replies.

PS before I go

How about some NPL logo Tea & coffee mugs as prizes for at work, home, wherever?

How about those venues that either start late or finish early in a season, still have a requirement that if you finish top 5 (auto qualify for finals), you still have to play the minimum number of games (as determined by NPL) (currently 15) to be eligible to take your seat.

An example: Tea Tree Gully finished playing on Tuesdays after 2 rounds. Josh Warner finished 1st and hasn't played a game since. He still qualifies for finals same as the guy at the Grand Junction that played only 3 games in the entire season. He wins the late game DNP in the other two and went to State Finals.

The new Cougar

not a bad point cougar

but what if someones first ever time at NPL was that venue and there is only 2 weeks to go in the season? surely they should be able to play

also, coffee mugs as prizes - awesome idea

These new chill pills that Des suggested I get are working a treat.
I've also had about 148 hours of catch up sleep.

BM I take your point about winning as a new player- (not their fault) and shortened seasons. Maybe those that score big points in only one or two games and qualify because it is a late starting venue can carry over their average to the start of the next new season- that would be fairer.
But for those that qualify at a venue that closes early- they should have to find somewhere else to get their 15 games.

A NPL coffee mug in the boardroom is so much more refined that a NPL baseball cap and NPL sunnies. I like the sunnies and the cap, because I work outdoors- but the way I see it- you can't win TOO many coffee mugs.

The Cougar

i would be happy with bying one through the NPL store if they weren't given out as prizes
