Well hockey tourny started last sunday where i woke up a lil bit late for the blogger event at poker.com i found my self short stacked and well i doubled up a few times to about 6k i had about 30 mins b4 the van rolled up to pick me up. I continued to play premium hands only and it was all good i found my self on 20k with 19 people remaining i was in 1st place but it sucked as i had to leave in 5 minutes!!!My mate Kanyezee was doing pretty good to with around 12k at that stage. The van pulled up and i had to go so i handed it on to my flat mate packnsave. he ended up 9th but o well at least i gt money from a position in which i thought i wouldnt get any!Kanyezee finished 12th all good as we get tour points which could be very important!
Anyway back to the hockey. It was a long road trip down to the cold and windy Palmy north it took us about 6 hours in 2 vans!with a few stops for eats and leaks haha. Finally we arrived at our accomidation the ambassador motel! We settled in an headed down to the turf for training. it was a shocker the turf itself was very bumpy and uneven it was fair to say we never really adjusted to it the whole week. Every Night we had a kangaroo court and a meeting about the next days game. Some of the fines were hilarious!There was plenty of public nudity and we happened to acquire a bit of opposition team gear too! Down to the games first up we played west coast we went 4 nil down in the first 20 minutes which was pretty freaky considering we are defending champs!in the 2nd half we scored 5 unanswered goals to win 5-4. In our 2nd game we were to play the home team manawatu who had bumped up there team with a couple of NHL players. It was a hard fought game which we lost 2-1. Our next game was against wairarapa we really should have won this game but ended up drawing 3-3. Our last pool game was against the NZ police and to make the semis and edge out Wairarapa we needed to beat them by at least 4 goals. And as the pattern suggested we had a shocker of a first half going down 2 goals early on only to hit back 1 straight away the half time score was 2-1 down we came out firing and scored 6 unanswered 2nd half goals to secure a spot in the semis. We Were to play a strong opposition from the other pool it was wellington! We were very compeitive in the 1st half with the half time score 2-1 to them. The 2nd half sucked and we fell apart the side felt the pinch with a few injuries and a player pulled out due to glandular fever. final score was 9-1. The anti climax play off for 3rd and 4th was to be against nelson. Our injuries and tired legs saw us suffer another loss going down 4-3 and ending up coming 4th!which aint too bad but wasnt really where we wanted to be. The tourny and the trip home was awesum as we got totally liqoured and sung til we couldnt no more all in all a great time was had by all and what goes on tour stays on tour!haha
