Jack 9's win streak continues

An under-maned jack 9's proved they are a force to be reckoned with with a stella 5-1 victory tonight. Playing with only 5 players for 10 minutes and 6 for the remainder of the game, Jack 9's crushed their opposition into submission on the back of a MOM performance from Mark Astill, scoring 2 and setting up another mark was a worthy players player.
Scott piper continued his great form in scoring an individual length of the field try and setting up another.
Tries: Mark Astill -2
Scott Piper - 1
Chris Mauler - 1
Curtis Gillard - 1

Darren Morris Snr wins at ex servies

Darren defeated Tim Bouffler heads up at the club and further extending his regional lead, in what capped off a great week for new era, taking a clean sweep of all event for the week, further proving that new era are the best team in the central west.

Craig continues his winning ways

Having started this season without a win in around 100 events played, craig has now won 4 events this season in going back 2 back at the royal hotel lastnight. In a poor showing from the orange shire with only 20 people showing up, craig beat new era apprentice Darren Morris junior heads up with the great cards 5 2 off suit, craig secured new era their 19th team win this season, streaks ahead of any other team out west

Craig "pipes" Piper wins another event

This has become a regular occurance this season for craig adding another victory to his poker resume. This time it was the OPC's Kerry Selwood who couldnt withstand the power of Pipes poker play this season as he marched towards victory at the royal lastnight. With some luck but mainly poker class craig secured his 3rd event win this season, and cementing New Era as the Pinnacle of poker teams in the central west

James Mann continues New eras dominance

James "ace" Mann won his second event of the current season, beating top 5 donkey ben "cabbie" Elms at the ex-services club sunday event a. Even with all his donkey powers ben could not over come one of the regions bests players, and shows that class does prevail over ass.

Top 5 donkey's in orange

The blogs have been quiet for a while so ill spice things up a bit
Heres my top 5:

1)Jamie Byrnes - Been playing ever since it started and still thinks ace anything is good, i remember seeing him re-raise all in once with ace 5, turned out the original raiser had pocket aces but hey, it was suited.

2)Mark Storey- Much in the same mould as Jamie, finds it hard to fold any ace, at any situation, regaurdless of how many all ins there are before him if he sees an ace hes in

3)Shane Hovey - This guy is the shit stain on the underpants of poker..... Seriously, anyone who knows him knows i dont need to go any further with this

4)Benjamin Elems- "Cabbie" as hes known around around here, is possibly the worst player that i have ever seen, any 2 cards and hes in a pot, will hold on to low pockets even if the board shows all overs, maybe he just doesnt understand the basics of poker? I'm not sure.

5)Andrew Stephenson- Ill just paint a picture for u all about stuff this guy does each week. There is a raise a re- raise all in in front of him, this is remotley early in the game blinds are 200/400 so seeing this he puts all bar a few chips of his in the centre, the original raiser calls aswell. So when the cards turn over there is Pocket Jacks, Ace 10 and andrew turns over JACK 10. I wish this was a one off but he does it each week, there for earning his spot on the list.
