[GTDawg]

I gotta say...that was the most uncomfortable poker table I've ever been at...

[GTDawg]

That was a sick last hand

[Talking Poker]

Guess I should have made the bounty $20,000 to make things a bit more interesting, huh?

GGs everyone! That was a lot of fun.

And finally, things are right again in the world: bdawg was the first one out, and I went undefeated. Ahhhhhhhhhh.... I needed that.

[JDMcNugent7]

Yes, yes it was.

Nice Job TP. way to get a boat vs. boat HU. real hard to win that way. lol. U played awesome actually.

are we 1-1 now?

[bunny]

I don't believe I played my best game.

Good game to the 4 winners.

[Robbie Robb]

Even though I finished 3rd, I'm claiming victory for the following reasons:
1) I sent Bdawg AND Mayhem to the rail
2) I played one more round than everyone else except JD & TP
3) I sent PShabi to the rail in TWO (yes, count 'em, TWO!) hands.
4) I think I had the toughest bracket: Bdawg, Mayhem, Pshabi AND TP!

[redbank09]

that def. turned out to be alot of fun. we should hit this up on a monthly basis if we can keep the turout like this.

[GTDawg]

I'm just glad I didn't gouge my eyes out watching SpringerStars while betting everything under the sun for 30 minutes.

[Robbie Robb]

agreed!

[Talking Poker]

Counting our play money match last July when you were a lucky little punk, yes. You're a formidable opponent now.

And yeah, like I said in the other thread, "nice catch" on the river there JD. OH how I love when I have them drawing dead on the turn.......

[Talking Poker]

LOL..... Whatever you say, champ!
