I get so frustrated with the freerolls at Crazy that I just about decided to save my sanity and quit playing. So yesterday, I placed 132/4820 for $2. :smack: I guess I’m stuck there a while longer. ☹ ---

[QUOTE=Oslo Ostragoth] **Kyy** is having a remarkable run of 8 consecutive games finishing either first or second. What’s your secret, and do you do tutoring? [/QUOTE] I think it’s just the law of averages. I’ve been playing since week one, and I don’t remember winning a single quarter. That, and **Yeti** and **Duke** haven’t been around to keep me honest. ---

Something like “Yippee **Kyy** (in honor of your impressive showing this quarter) Yi Yay, Mother Effer - SDMB Poker 3rd Quarter 2007”. An homage to the _ **Die Hard** _ movies.
