New SHHNHB Website!

Now that SHHNHB is blowing up and here to stay, I've created a site dedicated to the league. Check out the Official Website of the SHHNHB!

You can track the ever-changing player rankings and stats, and find all the information you want on past events (just the one at the moment, but many more to come), including lineups, scorecards, photos, and recaps.

Here are some of my favorite photos from the first and latest SHHNHB, starting with the contenders:


The first semifinal table finished quickly, due to Lisa's bad luck, so we headed over to the second semifinal table, where Daniel was pulling a fast one on Annaka:


At the consolation table, Annaka and Lisa took Rob and Gerald for a ride, winning the consolation prize (nice hand, Gerald):


Though Rob did manage a moon shot late. He was in deep concentration here as he pulled in a trick full of hearts (on this hand a very good thing) and calculated his next move (and yes, we watched Catch Me If You Can in the background):


At the final table, Andrew made a dramatic move here, much to my dismay (see the grimace on my face), but Hubert had a smirk that said, "Knickerbocker, please, I got you covered." Daniel just wanted the game to end at this point:


In the end, I got the money and the SHHNHB trophy (that's right, there's a trophy), thanks in large part to Andrew's gaffe on the last hand. Yes Andrew, you'd have moved up to #3 in the rankings had you won. You also would have paid for a week of Yahoo! lunches and had the trophy sitting on your mantle. :) Instead, you can enjoy this picture (shout-out to my homey in HI):


Much to my delight, Hubert pored over the scorecard after the championship concluded, finding every trick where he took unnecessary hearts. It's the rational response of someone who lost by 2 stinkin' points. Andrew is nowhere to be found. He knows his mistake. Thanks, Andrew (deal was that you win the next one, right?):
