COUGAR LOSES- HOW IS THIS POSSIBLE?

[Scotty]

I'm assuming the board showed AAAAx

[BigPete33]

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

[bennymacca]

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

[Scotty]

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.

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

[bennymacca]

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.

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