Manson played a great game, should have had me if he didn’t get unlucky on the last two hands. GG! ---

Pretty sure you paid off Pokerstars on those hands 🙂 I got my money in when I was ahead, so I’m cool with it 🙂 ---

[Leaderboard](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/15qczia_FCjAIxn9duqJfNKzBH9E6ELnmOk-hJr-efus/edit?usp=sharing) is updated. manson1972, with his one rebuy, got less points for finishing 2nd than SDMB mc who finished 3rd. With a player count of 2N, someone with one rebuy will have to finish Nth place or better to equal the points of the person who finishes dead last but doesn’t rebuy. ---

I love this mathematical observation! Poker has a bad reputation in some quarters, but it’s very math-nerdy (in addition of course to the psychology, which is what most people are quicker to think of). ---

Less than 90 minutes until tonight’s tourney! Still plenty of time to join up: full instructions are in the OP, then just mention here that you signed up, like Railer just did above. Do you guys think we should try to get the word out elsewhere, like say on MPSIMS? Or is that too spammy? I know I generally haven’t spent much time on the Games board, and I wonder how many others are similar but would enjoy playing poker. ---

**FrostedGlass** fell victim to what has to be the biggest suckout we’ve seen thus far in the club. Early days, but this one is going to be tough to beat: > **[♠ Watch This Poker Hand](https://upswingpoker.com/hand/?pokeit=124FzC7BD)** > > Watch hand histories play out with the Upswing Hand Converter & Replayer. ---

> [@SlackerInc](#): > > **FrostedGlass** fell victim to what has to be the biggest suckout we’ve seen thus far in the club. Early days, but this one is going to be tough to beat: Yikes. According to the poker calculators Frostedglass and SDMB mc had a 94% and 3% chance respectively of winning that hand given the cards on the flop, but given it’s PokerStars, you always gotta swap those numbers 😝 Leaderboards are updated again. Even with my first win, I am still trailing SlackerInc by a tiny amount for the top position. ---

Oops, I guess I didn’t need to message you. Congrats! Glad to hear I’m holding on to my lead by my fingernails. LOL about reversing the odds with PokerStars. ---

I joined a random 500K chip tournament, and I am 9th out of 10th. Pretty good I think 🙂 ---

> [@mikecurtis](#): > > I’ve got the best average! Well, blow me down: you do, at that. You are only behind because you didn’t play the first week. Once we’ve been going awhile and all the top contenders have played at least ten times, that kind of thing will sort itself out. ---

Only a few minutes until our weekly game starts! There will however be late registration for at least a half hour (maybe an hour, not totally sure), So you can still quickly go through the steps in the OP and sign up for the first time if you do it right now.
