So here we are. <\/p>\n

Half way through season 5 of the BBPT and storylines are unfolding like a lawn chair at softball game on a hot sunny Saturday. As things heat up, you open a cooler and reach to the bottom for the coldest beer you can find: A Sean M lager. It\u2019s refreshing to see one of the leagues most feared competitors sitting in last place \u2014 a first in BBPT history. Where his hops once tickled your tongue with a strong performance and a lasting presence. His game has become flat and unchallenging. <\/p>\n

We\u2019ve been documenting Sean\u2019s deep descent into utter oblivion. The mind games, #chipgate, and increased gambling addiction that has taken his focus off of the green felt. Don\u2019t believe us?!? Just scroll to the bottom of the page and feast your skeptical eyes on the newest addition to the website \u201cSIDEBETS\u201d.<\/p>\n

Chris D has used this side betting to his advantage to \u2014 as he would put it \u2014 \u201cdominate\u201d Sean. Taking advantage of Sean like a drunk rummy dancing for change has allowed Chris to have a plethora of jokes at Sean\u2019s expense. Chris has not had to pay for a single buy-in this season and his fantasy football debts have all been taking care of from the action he\u2019s earning off Sean. <\/p>\n

The King of Beers<\/strong>
\nKyle R\u2019s dominance on the tour continues to roll as he leads the league in most points for the season. Impressive, since Kyle hasn\u2019t won a single tournament thus far. Could Kyle replicate his season 2 performance and stay on top without tournament win? On his heels is newcomer, Chris B who has had 1st and 2nd finishes in his first five tournaments. Can the rookie keep his momentum rolling? It’s uncertain as he hasn\u2019t been able to crack the top 10 in his last two performances.<\/p>\n

Chris D might just be happy earning money off of Sean for the rest of the season \u2014 no matter how dirty the win is. Sitting at third place, Chris hasn\u2019t cracked a cashout, but has played consistent making the final table at every event. This strategy could really work: Earn money on the side, and stay consistent at the tables. Our opinion is, Chris is going to need a top 2 finish if he wants to secure a top spot.<\/p>\n

Bizarro brews<\/strong>
\nWe don\u2019t know what they are drinking but Bobby H and Kevin M have taken their play to the next level. These two players typically sit at the bottom of the standings, but have been able to move up the ladder significantly this season. We hope to see a Cinderella story with one of these two finishing in the money for first time in their careers.<\/p>\n

Suckout stout<\/strong>
\nDanny R. \u2013 This drunkard sucked out on Kevin last tournament with a K7 offsuit against AA. While he would call it genius play, the rest of the league has been throwing four-leaf clover and horseshoe references around like barstool prophets drinking Guinness in the rolling hills of some small town pub in Ireland. Needless to say, Danny has 1st and 2nd finishes and could throw a monkey wrench into anyone\u2019s game with his unorthodox playing style.<\/p>\n

Coors light<\/strong>
\nThis applies to a bunch of players in the standings right now. A run-of-the-mill beer that everyone drinks. It doesn’t standout, there is an abundance of it, but it still has chance at being someone\u2019s favourite beer. Possibly the tours. Are you a Coors Light? We\u2019ll let you make that decision.<\/p>\n

Tapped out<\/strong>
\nLast year\u2019s champ is this year\u2019s chump. Adam is trying to find a pair, a suit, or his keys. Nothing seems to be clicking with his play and if he doesn’t turn it around soon, he\u2019ll go from poker threat to flash-in-the-pan. Let that sizzle in.<\/p>\n

\u201cRye-tarded\u201d<\/strong>
\nMike L usually sits in the running for majority of the season, and loses out of the money at the end. Maybe it\u2019s this rye swigging player\u2019s new strategy: Start off awful, and hope to something holy his fortunes change.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
