Also, Congratulations to Stan Kou who won 'Player/o/t/Year' fromTimFox {Runner-Up} and 'Player/O/T/Bi-Month'  with 3350 Points ! AGAIN {Back-to-Back}...A few words from Player of the Month Oct-Nov 2009, and 'Player/o/t/Year' July 1st - Dec 31st 2009..  "Poker, we all play it for fun, however I set myself some goals, due to my competitive drive to get something more out of it.

Read More

1. Player of the Month {Won Back-to-Back}
2. Player of the Year
From Stan Kou..."I'd like to thank all other players including Tim & Ken, who provided the competition for me to excel. Also like to thank Phillip, George & Bernie for teaching me how "NOT" to play poker. Also like to thank all the far distant venues that I use to frequent while chasing points and medallions.)

Anyone aspiring to get more out of their poker should consider my following advice, (though please note these are generally speaking rules, sometimes the rulebook is thrown out and unconventional tactics are applied to unconventional poker sessions:

1. Patience (the most crucial element to competitive poker. The more hands you play in free poker the more chances you have in being donkeyed).

2. Dont show the strength of your hand until you have to. (During my back-to-back Player of the Month wins, I followed this rule practiced by the late John Madafari and have successfully trapped many impatient players who dont follow rule number 1.)

3. On a Final table, if you don't have a hand worth Raising with, theres no point playing it or Limping in to see a Flop,as Raises happen more frequently on Final Tables. Wait for the right hand, Fold your Blinds if need be. (Too many players make the Final Table easily yet then lose all their chips when they commit themselves to a hand they should not really have played).

4. On your table, adapt to unconventional conditions eg. if certain low cards keep coming out on the board all night, then they may be as good in value as high cards.

5. You must accept the fact the Bad Beats will ALWAYS occur during poker, otherwise you are not really following the unlisted rule. To have fun while playing.

Shuffle Up and Deal already.

-Stan the Man (I came, I conquered)" END.

FromPoker-Nights.."Well done Stan and good luck with your phase seat in the Aussie/Millions..Go all the way to the final !!  Tim Fox was runner-up..John Williams was 3rd..Well done Tim and John !!"
