PokerMatesNz win the world championship trophy.
They came to the game as a team and we got spanked. I watched last night until the last LittleSlickPoker's member was put out. Last man standing for LittleSlickPoker was Mr30. He played a solid game. Congrats on you efforts. Great showing. Now i would like for a minute or two to explain what i saw. I watch within the first five minutes a group of players come together and play as a team. I watch players muck when their team members called. I watch 3 members call against their team members. All having good starting hands. I watch them check it out until one bet. They then just simply tossed their hands away. Playing as a solid group (TEAM). They practiced at playing as a team and never went over the top of a fellow member. The had a system and it worked. To be honest with you. I knew within 3 minutes pokermatesnz would win the re-match. the match reminded me of a good Rocky match. They only problem i seen was that we was out boxed. They come in as a team and took us out. One players at the time. Before the first 20 minutes was up. We had 4 players out and team NZ had all Ten members still left. They worked chips and was chip dumping when they could to smaller stacks in their group. No this isn't illegal. That was brilliant and well orchestrated. I'm a sitter and know these moves and plays. They used the timer to tell their members how strong of a hand they had. It was really a work of art. If you didn't watch the play. They gotcha. This was by far the best team work I've seen in years. Other then the two in house games pumping the newbies. We flat out got out boxed and played! Congrats to pokermatesNz Now i hear you already was it fair. Hell yes it was fair. Within minutes of the championship match. I got on the IM with masala and told him fantastic job. I could see my trophy leaving LittleSlickPoker. Not because we couldn't win it, but because we were not ready for such a committed team. Masala Giggled and said they have been practising. They have been working hard at TEAM play. I informed him that i haven't seen one bad move on his players. They were working in unison. They come to take the Trophy and we got caught with our pants down. If you would have just watch the game you would have seen a work of art! It was beautiful to watch. Not to watch as my players were tossed out one by one. Breaking down chip totals and maneuvering chips. Using the timer to acknowledge their hands and strength I can teach you this. But this is what some do in home games. Yes some would say that these acts are wrong. In a game yes i would pitch a fit. But you have got to relize the word "TEAM" means all ten are one. They achieved this with winning efforts. I could go on for ever about their play and the way they handled our team. I want the better TEAM won. Hands down. Now members lets pull or paints back up and work on the TEAM work for our members. I did ask for a re-match with Masala within the first 10 minutes of the tournament. No offence but i could see the dominate play. Not saying we have bad players by no means. Just absolutely no team work. That's what beat us. Plus no names but when 3 members put each other all in and then the one that manage to call from the other team called after 3 players went Allin wasn't good! Well with this being said. I think we all understand the out come of the game. I would like to say thanks to all those whom played on behalf of our family last night. Good job I'm lost for words right now. Kinda hard to think we got out played. But we did and I'm going to have retribution. Guaranteed. I will bring the trophy back. Mark my words.

The PokerMatesNZ "FORUM TROPHY CHALLENGE"
G'Day Mates
As an aside today, I thought I would tell everyone about my poker forums Poker team "TEAMNZ" and our major accomplishment today. I run a poker website in New Zealand and we have a Private Poker Team which challenges any forum anywhere in the world to try and take our Beloved Poker Trophy from us by playing in a 10 vs 10 man poker game. Whichever Fourm team the overall winning player belongs to, gets to take our Trophy to their forum for display!
