Yes, for the next four days. I promise. I did manage to get him all-in. When I saw his cards, I don’t know what the hell he was thinking. ---

On the other hand, Ast has 3 last place finishes out of 6 games, plus 5/7, 6/7 and 3/7. It’s time for an Intervention: “Dude, your boobage distraction is ruining your life. Can’t you see that? Can’t you see that it hurts all of us as well?” Boo hoo boo hoo! ☹ ---

[QUOTE=Oslo Ostragoth] Missy continues to slide down, but I think she will own this quarter (8 of 13 games done; 5 to go). [/QUOTE] Considering how few chips I had for a decent part of the game, to come back and end 2nd is pretty kick ass, IMO. I won’t be playing Thursday 06/12 (RedneckFest), so I better bitch up and play my little heart out to retain my lead. Oh, and you played very well too, **O** 😃 ---

Freakin’ ISP craps out 40 minutes into the game. I hope my bot did at least moderately well. Anyways, standings for the quarter: 1 Miss Take 65.7 2 Dag Otto 59.9 3 Duke of Rat 59.5 4 Oslo Ostragoth 59.2 5 Kyyrewyyoae 52.2 6 Robot Arm 51.9 7 Asterion 44.8 Three of us within reach of the queen bee. May we take her down. And nice for Ast to get over his boob fixation to win one. ---
