The other thread was starting to get a little unwieldy …. so here’s a new one to coincide with the next ‘polished’ cycle.
For those who haven’t kept up-to-date with cycle 1, Bennymacca blitzed it and is on his way to ‘Aussie Millions Event 1’ (or equivalent ~$1,000 live buy-in) to represent the league.
We wrapped up GAME 1 on tuesday evening and it was awesome to have 11 runners, including new member ‘DAMO137’, welcome aboard mate. It took a little while to crank up the conference call, but once we were settled the game was ON!… First things first, Benny didn’t win…. but had a painful exit to the delight of the masses, but we’ll detail that run-out of cards abit later.
First to go was Liverpool (11th) … although he tanked with a proclaimed ‘hand’ after Duggs characteristically 5-bet pre… he eventually call-off with A8s, which was stringenlty declared as “not resembling any form of a hand whatsoever” (read with a kiwi accent, bro), and was crushed by AK. The Hound, whom we’ve all missed, was next to suffer the agony of a rare Donskey suckout AQ < A3. Cousteer lamented his cracked aces against Duggs’ flopped set of 3s and topped up boat, to disintergrate in 9th place. Irish luck ran out for mcgcanwin2, getting squeezed in a 3-way by Duggs’ dominating AK which faded his three-outed clover. Boonos was also smashed by the now formidable Kiwi student, losing AJ to Dugg’s 44. Despite being renegated to the rail we were all still treated to the ambient Boonos ‘chip symphony’. Wabbit was euthanised inhumanely by a two pronged steel trap, squeezing A9 into Don’s AK and Clyde’s KK on a 92K5J board…. Damo was next to go, unfortuantely I missed that hand but it was a nice first run mate, be sure to join us next week. ….. and then it was Benny’s turn to depart shoving Q9 aipf against Duggs’ AA….. it looked like the defending champ was going to continue his god-like run when the flop smashed his hand Q29, the turn yielded a harmless 3, but it was the rivered 2 that got the crowd cheering! Dons was another Duggs casualty flipping KT v AQ, to momentary poke his head infront with a favourable flop, but was rendered unconscious by the river. Duggs awesome run continued and after a lengthy heads up chip exchange against Clyde, he eventually prevailed with AA. Good game Duggs, well done, you clairvoyantly predicted it, albeit in a similar fashion to the 5 previous games!
So after the first game the kitty stands at $165. Remember top 5 scores count and the cycle will run for at least 10 games. For those who still wish to join us, check out the previous thread (I can’t be stuffed explaining it again) to get the ‘gist’ of this collaborative, yet competetive venture!
Next week’s game has been announced, same time, same buy-in, but winner takes all (minus 50% of course)!

Enjoyed the game last night, thanks guys.
Game II done and dusted with record participation. Twelve runners including our newest UK member Typical Flop. This was arguably one of the toughest fields assembled leaving room for only the most talented to reign supreme… along with the mandatory suck-outs, over-calls and weird 'fishing lines' of play that round out a true poker savant.
First to bust was our newest recruit, Typical Flop, who stuffed it in on the turn holding QQ only to run into Dugg's high frequency AA hand. No hard feelings T-Flop, don't let this cooler dampen your enthusiasm, we're expecting you back next week! Mcgcanwin2, Houndboy, and Donskey got involved in a frisky 'menage a trois', with 77, AKo and A5s, respectively… the board ran out 5QJ6A piling up the Dons chippery and sending the other two packing in 11th and 10th spots. Clydes's AQ couldn't suck-out on Damo's AK and he was first to exit the final table and left to battle it out on his 13 concurrent tournies. Benny found himself in a comfortable squeeze spot against Duggs and Liverpool. Dugg's declined the invitation leaving Benny to run his ATs head first into Liver's four squishy tits (QQ). After being crippled by another Donskey river spike, losing 77 to AQ, Boonos was resigned to shove his loose change with 4 high into yet another AQ hand and exited in 7th place. At one point Dons had a formidable stack but ran into two bastard hands the first against cousteer with AJ<QK on a TKKAT board then he shoved QJ into Wabbit's AJ to gracefully depart in 6th. Wabbit then disposed of Liverpool in a typical jam/fold scenario. Duggs and Damo engaged in a school-yard chip fight, picking up small piles and chucking them at each other, raise, 3-bet, min 4-bet and 5-bet shove….. Damo's KK prevailed over JJ and Duggs was left pondering the machinations of folding. Damo's 55 then took care of Wabbit's A4o to leave him with a 3:1 heads up cheaplead against cousteer. Chip-lead, schmip-lead the nitball administrator got the job done, and had it everytime he raised it up! Booya!
It was an awesome game and definitely a weekly highlight… the kitty has now amassed $345.
There are still a few member's who are yet to play…. next week's game is a $5R, 1500 starting stack, 10 min levels…. hopefully this will entice some of the dormant members to perk up!
Good work guys!

Great write up mate, always enjoy your summary and congrats again on a well deserved win
GAME III was a rebuy which attracted 10 players who each added-on and collectively splurged 31 re-buys. So we amassed $250, with 50% locked away for the bi-cycle champ!
Naturally there were some dodgy snaps, spewy plays and failed hero-calls during the re-buy period… Despite this, the chips shifted around the table like the tide with no-one really piling a massive stack once the 'proper' game started.
So far, the Houndboy has been the most consistent player in the league as he's effortlessly completed a hat-trick of tenth place finishes. After getting out flushed on a draw heavy board for heaps, a crippled mcgcanwin2 shoved 15BB with AK into Wabbit's JJ and didn't improve. A short-stacked Cousteer was next to go with 9 flush outs post flop against Dons tripped up AJ…. Damo departed in 7th shoving KQs into Boonos' 88, but it was the hand prior that raped his stack, check calling a 595 flop (can't remember what he had, but was probably good at the time) against Benny and shoving the innocuous turn (3) only to be called by 'God's' AK… and naturally the divine intervened and the obligatory A graced the river… and the trumpets sounded for the Damiathian. Benny then dispatched Boonos JJ>33 for 6th. Clyde appeared to trial some unorthodox 'tilt?' plays open shoving big stacks willy-nilly, however, he eventually settled down and min-raised 99 and called a Donskey (K8) shove HU, only to be rivered to re-agitate the tilting monkey within. With half a blind left he used his entire time-bank in attempt to either slow-roll the field with A2, or replace a smashed mouse…. but ran into Wabbit's AQ and deparded to slit his wrists. He hung around in chat trying to bum $1, but didn't use his time bank to decline a request for a $15 sexual favour! Benny's sins eventually caught up with him, losing a 20BB effective jam with KT to Wabbit's Russian hand (67)… thats right, 20BB with 7 high! Benny's remaing shrapnel went in against Dugg's 69<32… 'Why hath thou forsaken thee'…. Dons massive stack was quickly eroded shoving over Dugg's turn bet on a T748 board with T9, only to suffer to AA. We were then left HU with SirDuggan and the Wabbitt… although his play was impeccable the 'people's champion' fell short and the awesome running rabbit notched up a first place finish.
Next week – $30, 6max, 5k stack, 10 min level

nice write up as always, It was 1010 I called bennys shove with AK on a flop of 595. He spiked a A on the river to leave me with 3BBs. KQ was obviously a shove after that.

GAME IV Dusted!
My write-up will be brief as I'm flat-out…. The 6max format was the real winner!
We had 9 runners and welcomed back Sunday Million Final Table celeb 'Typical Flop', we missed a few of our favourite regs, who'll need to pull their fingers out and focus! After all I'm writing this in a clapped out shack in bum-****ed regional South Australia and passed up an awesome pub meal to run shit-house in the tourney!
Mcg was first to bust to continue his shocking second cycle, although it was a brutal hand against Boonos to cripple him.. getting his boat cracked by quads. Only a bit of Russian influence and WSOP trend would have seen him survive that monster. I was next to go and I don't want to talk about it… I guess you aresholes have worked me out! I best find myself another game…. Wabbit got sucked-out by Boonos in a standard shove spot…. Come to think of it places 6 through 3 were all standard all in affairs realling off Benny, SundayMills, Dons and the Boondog. I didn't really concentrate on the HU clash between Clyde and Duggs as the rest of us were battling out a cash 8 game, and then degened in 2-7 nl single-draw, which has definitely won a few hearts.
Duggs won again.. well done… but by that stage we'd all focussed our attention elsewhere and couldn't hear his 'people's champion' proclamation. He then went on to crush the 2-7 game for a very profitable night. W@NKER!
$607.50 in the kitty
same time next week… get amongst it.

Sorry gentlemen I’ve been unable to recap last week’s game. Also I’m unable to play tonight as I’m attending a conference. Good luck all and please ship the 50% as per usual.

Sorry for the lack of updates, unfortunately my work gets in the way of poker. We wrapped up GAME VII this week but before I get into it I must congratulate Boonos and Mcgcanwin2 for their recent homegame victories.
Ten runners this week and we were back to full ring. The conference call was up and running to ensure that we all experienced the cacophony of viral coughs, splutters, chippery, expletives and self promotion. I love the banter it indeed adds another 'levelling' dimension.
After a steady session where the chips were dribbling around the tables Typical Flop 3-bet shoved 22BB pre into Cousteer's AQs with TT. Cousteer then camouflaged his JJ behind a Benny raise just enought to felt Wabbitt's AQ on the river with the board yielding QcJc7c76. Running0uts suffered at the hands of Duggs AA to depart in 8th. AA was commonly seen in Clyde's arsenal, but they didn't comand quite the same value as the Kiwi variety. Donskey's K3 didn't fly against Clyde's K7 and it was unfortunate that the Deepstack master could not be heard as he has 'new computer love' and is abstaining from the perilous Skype free download. Get on it mate, we want to hear your dolcet tones. Dugg's was initially running well, but was crippled by a few bad run-outs and the odd bluff. He lost the battle with his counterpart, Benny….his ying to his yang, his brother across the ditch… Mcg proclaimed a moribund deck and was angling for a 6-way chop, but to no avail and proceded to lose a standard short-stacked flip. Clyde was next to go, but his game flow was interupted by a sketchy Star connection. This left cousteer to routinely squeeze QQ in a 3-way, only to forget that the divine was yet to intervene and was knocked flat by Benny's A9… so much for being in the groove….The Houndboy and Benny were left HU. This battle lasted awhile, with the Skype banter appearing to technically desolve to unidirectional eavesdropping, the Hound planted a few seeds of mis-direction to renounce God and suck out with J8 against AJ on a 79765 run-out! GG mate.
Here's the wash-up. Remember you need to play at least 5 games to register a score! There are 3 games left in this cycle and the pool is now $1057.50.

CYCLE II complete! Congratulations to Duggs for taking it out in convincing fashion. Duggs dominated this cycle winning 40% of the games bagging himself a 50% share of a ~1.45K buyin. This kiwi dude is definitely going to achieve great things in poker and we're all glad to share a stake in his tilt at the Aussie Millions event 1.
The tpe down under group will now have a share in two runners in this event, with Benny, our CYCLE I champion, intimating he will also play in it. Hopefull they'll both final table and scrap in out in a fashion that we are acustomed to seeing in our homegame.
There will be plenty of opportunities for other tpe members to join these two as we aim to kick off CYCLE III on tues the 28th Aug 19:30 ACST. I'll start a new thread with joining details, rules etc… for those new tpe'ers who wish to have a crack at the title.
Here's the breakdown of our repsective shares. Apologies to those who didn't play the required games to qualify, but us Aussies are harsh but fair!
For those participating regs, we plan to have a one week hiatus, and fill the gap by runnig a 'study-session' via our regular conference call…
Once again, these games are the nuts! Thanks to all who put the effort in.
