HULA Week 3 Thread - Fixtures, Results, etc

[Sheriff Fatman]

By my calculations I believe that Week 3 is now in session!

Fixtures are as follows - home team listed 2nd (US style!)
Nottom......sthief09
GoT.........Sheriff
Schneids....gonores
fsuplayer...fudgenut
Joe Tall....Tosh

Remember, the home captain gets to select the match line ups for their fixture. There were a number of posts in the Week 2 thread from players who didn't know who they were playing. I would therefore suggest that the home captains announce their chosen line ups in this thread for all to see.

With that in mind, my chosen lines ups for the match vs GoT are:

Sheriff vs GoT
lars® vs The Dude
nolanfan34 vs Dov
Bigbaitsim (milo) vs The Grifter
TimM vs Brian

Can anyone on my team who needs a sub this week please PM me. Otherwise, please contact your opponent ASAP to arrange your match.

Sheriff

[Filip]

Me and Tosh are gonna try and play asap.

I will be leaving this friday for a 10 day hunting trip and will return on sunday the 17th. So if tosh and i can play before i leave and if i can schedule my round 4 match after 17th i wont need a sub.

/F

[fsuplayer]

FudgeNut: PM or IM me with the schedule if you dont mind.

thanks,

fsuplayer

[Sarge85]

TheGrifter and I for a number of reasons never hooked up for our Week 2 match. In the end, the results won't matter.

Is there a protocal for this, or do we just let it go?

[Tosh]

I am ok to play now Filip as per the PM, hopefully you'll get on quickly and we can get it out the way.

[MEbenhoe]

Just to let you know, Fudgenut has some personal stuff to tend to today, so I wouldn't expect the schedule from him until tomorrow.

P.S. your location made me laugh the first time I read it. Good luck in your challenge with Doug.

Sorry totaly forgot..... i am at table HULA6 now

[Schneids]

What is the HULA site url again? You may call me lazy if you please but I'll remain unfazed. I know there's a search button.

[Rugbyrat]

If anyone needs a decision regarding an unplayed match from Week 2, please have your captain PM me the pertinent details ASAP.

The teams which I oversee are:
DIVISION OF GOOD (Commissioned by Rugbyrat)
Fudgenut
Schneids
Fsuplayer
Sheriff Fatman
Sthief09

It appears that only Lars' match may need a decision, according to Joe826's website.

Thanks.

Joe826's HULA2 Website (http://www.deterrent.org/hula.html)

[Joe826]

I'm doing my best to update this thing once a day atleast. I'm working on week 3 stuff right now. I swear there was a list around that had all the team match-ups for all the weeks. Does anyone know where this is? That'd be alot easier, so I can atleast add the team matchups then add the individual matches as they come.

[Nottom]

Stheif and I have finally finalized the matches for our teams, so here they are:

Nottom vs. sthief09
Fnord_too vs. balkii
NLSoldier vs. joe826
Jimbobobb vs. ctv1116
Nick B. vs. stripsqueez

[Brian]

I took down TimM tonight in my first match of the 3 weeks. Gonores, when/how/to whom do I give my 50 bucks to participate?

-Brian

[J.R.]

CCass and I had a battle, and although I hope his home state's university (Tenn.) pulls one out against UGA on saurday, I was a bit more fortunate in our HULA match.

[Sarge85]

I'm ready when you are Max...

Sarge/images/graemlins/diamond.gif

[MaxPower]

Good match Sarge.

I lept out to an early lead. You battled back but were never able to get anything going. The key hand was where I flopped the nut flush and the board paired 7s on the turn. I think you 6-bet me on the turn and I was afraid you had the boat. That hand crippled you.

I got hit with the deck. I actually was dealt pocket aces 4 times, but you folded before the flop every time.

[The Dude]

The Dude vs. Lars... in 5 min.

The Dude vs. Lars® in 5 minutes.

[The Dude]

That I beat you to posting this was symbolic of how our match would go. The Dude beats Lars® in 33 minutes, riding the strength of 22 and K2.

As far as i know, that puts our team up 2-0.

[ctv1116]

ctv1116 defeats Jimbobobb in 12 minutes. I just had all the cards in that match.

[BigBaitsim (milo)]

Can't find the fellow for our match.

[Sheriff Fatman]

Sheriff overcomes GoT in 175 hands.

Blew away a lot of chips early on and was down to about T200 but managed to claw back, and then creep ahead.

Took 2 or 3 attempts to get his last few hundred chips but got there in the end.

Good game GoT. Match back to 1-2 I think. Come on bigbaitsim and nolanfan34!!!

Sheriff

[BigBaitsim (milo)]

Excellent work Sheriff!

TheGrifter and I have scheduled our match Tuesday at 9:30. This is, of course, so I can be the hero once Nolan knocks off his opponent to draw to a 2-2 tie.
/images/graemlins/cool.gif

[nolanfan34]

Nolanfan34 vs. Dov, Monday night, 7:00-ish PST.

Hoping to keep our match alive for Milo....

[Rugbyrat]

Rugbyrat defeats Thomastem in a marathon 330 hand, 2 level match.

Two key hands:
1. I raised preflop with Grannie Mae. Flop came with 2 queens. Rivered a 5 for the full house. I believe Thomastem turned the nut straight, but I'm not sure.

2. Last hand of the game. I limped from SB with KK. Thomastem raised. I reraised. Flop came QQK. After a war of the raises, I showed the full house to his trip Q's.

Great match!

[Rugbyrat]

Based on the messages I received from Lars and stripsqueez, it appears that Lars and stripsqueez were unable to schedule their match.

Following last season's HULA rules, I have awarded the match to the home team player, stripsqueez.

If either player or their respective captains objects to this decision (on reasonable grounds), please let me know via PM and I will discuss it with the other commissioners.

Rugbyrat

[Nottom]

Nottom defeated stheif in 45 min or so.

Apparently he can only play poker for about 30 min before turning into a raising station.

[Dov]

I was watching you guys a little bit, and it seemed like you were playing 2 tables simutaneously against each other. Is that allowed? How do you score it?

Note: It may just have been a software bug, so if you guys didn't do this, please disregard my questions. I hate this software.

Dov

[nolanfan34]

So much for that. Sorry team. Dov dispatches me in an embarrassing low number of hands (although more hands than Lars vs. The Dude /images/graemlins/grin.gif).

Dov knocked me down early by hitting a lot of boards, turns and rivers. Well, he might play gOOt too, but when I have K3 and the board comes AK3r, and another A comes on the turn, and he has AJ, well, I was a' steppin' in landmines.

Actually his hand where he rivered a straight and showed down 73o was even better. I have a lot to learn about heads up play, I need to loosen my hand standards! /images/graemlins/grin.gif

[Nottom]

Stheif was sitting at one table waiting, but by the time i got there he was afk. Since about 10 min ticked away before he came back, we just restarted on the 2nd table.

On a side note, I wonder how long that table will keep going without us?

LOL

Until the blinds reach 300/600, probably! /images/graemlins/laugh.gif

[Dov]

I did have incredibly good cards, but in all fairness, nolanfan let me in cheap with that 73o. I flopped middle pair, turned an OESD, and rivered the NUTZ. I suck out g00t!

Chalk one up for Bloody Satisfaction!

I have no idea how many hands we played, but I emerged victorious after a gruelling 15 minutes.

Technically, you couldn't have the nuts in this scenario.

[Joe826]

Joe826 over NLSoldier in alot of hands. I didn't keep track, but we were well into the increased blinds. classy guy. gg man.

btw - my HULA site (http://www.deterrent.org/hula.html) is finally updated and accurate. sorry I suck at updating it, i'll just blame it on lots of school work. so far the only match we have decided is GoT's team over Sheriff's team. There are also 2 matches from week 2 that were not played and I'm not sure what the rulings were. This was Sarge85's match and also inthacup's match (both JoeTall's team). none of them really matter, but if you guys want me to put up the final decision just lemme know.

[jfresh]

hmm so when is the latest this week's match can be played? All of a sudden the rest of my week is extremely busy, so I might not be able to play (optimally) til Sunday... If that is too late, let me know soon, i will try and figure something out.

I think Tuesday (today) is the last day.

[daryn]

ok me and inthacup will be playing tuesday (today)... hopefully.

[Dov]

Actually, I had the nuts in THIS scenario. I knew I had the best hand and was unbeatable.

Of course you're right about your technicality, that with that board this hand was not the nuts. I thought about it as I posted it, but then said, 'Ah what the heck!'.

[Dov]

Your site's nice, thanks for posting it. The navigation links don't exist on week 2, though.

Daryn playing cup tonight, Tosh and Trix playing Joe Tall and edtost this morning and thePoppinE is waiting to find out who is subbing for Filip.

[fnord_too]

Balkii and I play tonight at 7:30 pm est.

[Joe Tall]

Tosh ran over JoeTall.

I think I need to get out of bed before noon to play these HU matches.

Peace,

Really? Me and sfer have ours arranged for Wednesday.
My two previous games have been played on a Saturday.
This time I didn't even find out who I was playing until *Sunday*, and that I believe was when the opposing teams captain had decided who was playing who.
It doesn't sound like a fair default and home victory for a captain who waits 5 days to decide whose playing who, and that seems to be the way it went down.
I'm not really playing poker atm, so I don't spend on the time on 2+2 currently to go chasing things up all week.

[edtost]

Trixx destroyed me - when bluffs run into monsters and value bets get folded to, its not that tough to lose in 16 minutes.

[Trix]

fast match, caught some good cards. Trix over edtost in 16 mins.

[/ QUOTE ]

I'm not sure Rugbyrat's interpretation of the default rule is correct (he's currently looking into it so watch this space).

In any event, I would only apply the default rule (whatever that may be) after reviewing the specifics and there being no information as to who was 'to blame' for the fixture not being played. If fault is clearly on one side then the match will be awarded to the other team.

Therefore, this is not an option available to guarantee victory for the home team (at least for the matches under my jurisdiction!)

[Schneids]

Schneids vs. Gonores scheduled for 7pm eastern time, tonight. Should be good fun.

[WEASEL45]

i got lucky against MEbenhoe to win

They were pretty nice. Granted, I was raising pretty light but I was pretty sure you were drawing. If those 2 pots go my way I think we get to save 15 min of our lives.

Your 25o vs AA suckout was a pretty nice as well.

[Chobohoya]

Chobohoya over Nikla in a super-substitution-suckout-special. Glad I got a chance to get in one of these matches-- too bad about the "non-paying" part of "non-paying sub".

[gonores]

Gonores over Schneids in 55 hands.

Schneids stupidly risked his whole stack on the last hand with top boat against my quads.

How dumb is that?

Gonores: 4 Schneids: 0
NHUPAs: 2 Diablo Sucks: 1...I think

[fnord_too]

Man, I was hoping to see some of the gonores/schneids match before my match with balkii!

Does anyone else have to call support EVERY TIME before they can sit down at the hula tables?

[fnord_too]

OH THE HUMANITY!!!! SCHNEIDS LASTED LONGER THAN I DID!

Balkii hands fnords his ass in about 50 hands.

Oh they will PAY at the super wednsday tomorrow. THEY WILL PAY!!!

[balkii]

chalk one up for sthiefs team as balkii defeats fnord in like 50 hands or so? did you get the count fnord?

i hit top pair about a bazillion times and a couple sets too, started off to an early lead, finished with a bang as I hit a set of sixes versus fnord top pair Aces with 7 kicker.

[Nottom]

Good to see my team keeping the streak alive.

[stripsqueez]

thank you team mates for carrying us this far

nick b was defeated after a bit of a marathon - that guy never gets any cards

stripsqueez - chickenhawk

[Joe826]

good job guys. yeah i was thinking the same thing ctv. my record is better than strip's, so i better go start 4 tabling 10/20 6-max /images/graemlins/grin.gif.

[Rugbyrat]

Way to go, Chohoboya! You gave the NHUPA the win for the week! Great debut.

[jfresh]

yes i have to call support everytime i try and sit down... i tried calling 800-480-7038 but i got an machine... anyone have a different number i can dial at this hour?

edit: they answered the phone

[Rugbyrat]

Try the live internet support. I've used that in the past, and it's been extremely effective.

[Chobohoya]

Thanks a lot. I'd like to thank God, my Mom, and the rigged online shuffle for making all of this possible. Hope I get a chance again next week /images/graemlins/grin.gif

[PokerNoob]

I grind down fsuplayer in a 372 hand marathon. It didn't seem like we showed down many hands, but when we did my draw came in or top pair held up.

[bugstud]

jfresh is forced to leave after 135 minutes...when we were even /images/graemlins/grin.gif

so he forfeits

I do

[Rugbyrat]

After receiving a protest from an interested party, I have re-evaluated my decision regarding the unplayed stripsqueez v. Lars. While my final decision remains the same (stripsqueez defeats Lars), my reasoning has changed.

I reviewed the HULA2 rules, and one rule is pertinent to this matter:

"-Unplayed Matches: The burden of scheduling lies upon the player picked later in the draft. If it appears equal effort has been made to schedule the match, and neither player chose to call for a sub, the match will be awarded to the earlier-picked player."

Both stripsqueez and Lars were drafted in the first round, but stripsqueez was drafted first. As a result, stripsqueez wins the non-played match.

Please remember, if you cannot play your match, contact your team captain to have your team substitute play in your place. This will help to avoid similar decisions in the future.

Thanks,
Rugbyrat

[daryn]

daryn def. inthacup in a long one

[JohnShaft]

JohnShaft def. sfer, in an excellent, very tough, 80 minute match.

Sfer had the best of the first half until I managed to even it up.
Shame the match had to be decided on short-term cards due to the increase in blinds at Level 2, which I knew was inevitable. The game played like a draw all the way.

GG sfer.

[sfer]

Great match. 455 hands, about an hour and a half.

[Tosh]

Whats the ruling this week for thePoppinE's match. Filip has gone away and needed a sub but there was no sub and the match is 4-0 now anyway. I assume thePoppinE gets a walkover?

Bez, you were subbing for me, right? Way to go, if that's the case. I'm on my work machine now; still waiting to figure out if my personal computer (with all my poker stuff on it) will be repaired in time for week 4.

Thanks for covering for me.

-McGee

[Bez]

No problem. I got some real good cards to be fair to fudgenut. Not complaining though.
