> [@special\_ed](#): > > You’ve seen me take a river a river card to get an inside straight and beat 3 Aces in my first ever game of hold 'em. Are you sure you want to bet with me? in this case i got pocket rockets. and the fucking turn came out a a 6. you can’t win. but take a chance big boy. i mean that’s where your vote is. i’m holding **naf** and **g** for the rest of the entire game even though they’ve already lost. kind of like searching for bobby fisher. “you’ve lost and you don’t even know it”. i think it would be highly chickenshit if you didn’t take the wager and left your vote where it is. but that’s your fucking call. you made it to the final table because you kept hitting inside straights. i made it there because i was right. ---

> [@Zeriel](#): > > Hell, I’m turning into **peeker** with the multiposting > LightFoot, I note you cheerfully spoiler the part of my post where I said “Figuring out when this is a wise decision is literally impossible on Day One in a closed game” and other caveats that made it clear I didn’t think it was a good idea, just that it wasn’t scummy in all cases. All while nitpicking what’s clearly an abstract argument as though it were Fermat’s Last Theorem. Smells like smoke to me, and where there’s smoke there’s… > **unvote Mykbot** > **vote LightFoot** [bleached by me] I did spoiler the bits I was not going to throw an argument at. (in an effort to not muck up the game too much- anyone who didn’t remember what else you said could surely poke the ‘button’) I also did not vote (giving you a chance to clarify the bits I did comment on.) I don’t understand your reference to the Theorem How do you catch the baddies if you don’t question everything that doesn’t ring true to you? Waste your vote if you wish, I ain’t hidin’ and one vote will kill me not. And you have no idea if I was cheerful at the time ---

Out of curiosity peek, did my target on you last Night do anything to you that you are aware of? Might as well ask since we are both online. ---

> [@NAF1138](#): > > Out of curiosity peek, did my target on you last Night do anything to you that you are aware of? Might as well ask since we are both online. i already said that i misunderstood the mechanics. i doc protected myself last night because i didn’t want to accidentally take someone out. but now i see that all i did was target myself. i really thought the mechanic was that you had to target and hit your power at the same time for it to work. i figured it was the safest thing to do for town. ---
