Rankings February 19, 2009

Sorry guys if I haven't updated the blog since the February Tournament... the Valentine hangover took longer to wear off than I expected. Any ways it seems that everyone has kept themselves busy playing the game that we all love.

There is something different in this particular ranking because I heard from Poker boy Mark that he wanted to reward the winners of the poker tournament. He granted them bonus points equivalent to double their monetary winnings.

That's why Sid in this particular ranking is up the positive zone.

I feel that this is an incentive for everyone to perform well in the tournaments.
I think there's another one coming up but its currently in the wood work

Valentine Day Poker Tournament Results

Siddhartha Banerjee (aka Le Chiffre) wins the Queen Of Hearts Poker Tournament with a Queen trips on the river. A fitting ending to Aim Poker Nights 1st Poker Tournament on the day of hearts.

The AIM Poker Nights' first official tournament is very well attended. The V-day Poker Tourney featured 16 players from different cohorts and programs of the Asian Institute of Management and a lone visitor in Pierre Francis Tan who has been a long time friend of Poker Boy Ken. To accommodate all the players the poker boys opened a second table.

Only nine players reached the final table: Table 1 (Ashu, Chris, Ashish, Ken, and Rahul) Table 2 (Siddhartha, Rohit, Pavaan, and Pierre). Sid started the final table with the lowest chip count but miraculously ended the night with a bang.

When it came down to the final two players (Sid and Ken) they both went all-in before the flop. Sid got Queen High and Ken got a King High. On the flop both a King and a Queen appeared giving Ken the advantage of a King pair over Sid's Queen pair. On the Turn came a numbered card and it seemed that Ken was about to win the tournament. Cupid must have been watching this V-day Poker Tournament and the Queen of Hearts appeared on the River. Poker boy Ken had to settle for a second place finish because no one could have written a better ending to a very exciting tournament.

Congratulations Sid, you are now the official King of Hearts of AIM Poker Nights.

Balut is a fertilized duck egg with a nearly developed embryo inside
It is a Southeast Asian delicacy which is popularly believed to be an aphrodisiac.

it looks like no one is really scared of it...
hahaha

TODA is the man.

Cohort 3 accepts the Balut Challenge

Guess Who Wasn't Suited Up??

This is really hilarious!! The school was conducting its annual marketing campaign by taking pictures of its students in their "natural habitat" (the case room) and it seemed that someone didn't read their mail to wear their business suits to class.

All three poker boys ( Dindo, Ken, Mark) located at the front row, wore their casual wear while everybody was in their Sunday's best.

It will be incredibly easy to identify which guys will be "photoshoped" out of this picture.

Rankings February 7 2009

Somebody send Arora a message cuz it looks like he was bumped off the proverbial poker pedestal in our AIM Poker Nights Rankings. Mr.Cynical with his wit and banter manages to
outmatch his fellow poker players to grab top honors.

Another noteworthy achievement is the string of stellar performance of Chris "The Godfather" China to break his way out of the bottom cellar and into 27th place. People around the table has noticed a different style of play... more calculated, more ruthless. Going up against the Godfather requires a lot of guts and a high chip count because you'll definitely need it.

AIM Poker Nights welcome our new players from Butan... Sangye and Pema. They were very quick learners and very animated during the game. Maybe because of the beer hahaha but seriously hope to see you guys more in poker nights.

AIM Poker Nights Fund Raiser

The Poker Boys were approached by their Marketing Professor (Prof Richard Cruz) and pitched the idea of holding a fund raiser for another Professor who currently has cancer.

The boys will come up with various fund raisers to help Professor Quintos-Gonzales with her ongoing battle against Cancer.

For those of you who don't know her she is a core faculty of the W. SyCip Graduate School of Business (WSGSB). She served as the director of the FAMCOR program since 1998. The FAMCOR program is geared towards understanding and managing the Family Corporation.

Updates on the fund raising activities to follow.

Hope that everyone will show their support in their own way.

Special Poker Night Friday

It was a sad day on last Thursday night when the poker boys had to cancel poker nights because of their academic commitments. But the Poker boys made up for it when they gave up their Friday evening for a special round of Poker at the Asian Institute of Management.

AIM Poker Nights was so in demand that the students of the Institute wanted a special poker night to replace the one that they sorely missed last Thursday.

According to Poker Boy Mark, "it was one of the best nights we ever had in terms of showcasing poker skills". The night showcased old and new players having a blast with the music of the cohort 3 party as their background.

POKER NIGHTS CANCELED

Poker Nights for February 05, 2009 is canceled due to the Poker Boys preparation for their
Strategic Negotiations Class the next day. The boys are really into this subject and are currently trying to outdo the other in terms of class performance. I heard from the boys that this simulation class being conducted by prof. Confessor and prof. DeVera is one of their best electives by far.


Regular Poker Night will resume on Saturday.

Unless of course someone from Cohort 3 takes the their place for one night.
will someone step up or we'll just wait for the Poker Boys on Saturday?
your call.
