> [@Duke of Rat](#): > > Yeah, I forgot that a bot wouldn’t ever call a raise, Yeti was kicking my ass! Heh…on more than one occasion! I saw my 8s over 7s took Duck for 150. About 6 hands after that, I took both Duck and RA for 300 with my set of 10s. Duck aslo folded a SB of 50 to me about 1.25 hours in the game. Instead of botting with 1500, I was botting with 2000 in chips! ---

Tune in tonite! Will **Duke** get outplayed by a YetiBot again? Will he go from first place to first out? Will **Capa84** show up and clean our clocks? Will **CapnPitt** be up for some pillaging? Will the Miss’es **T** and **nomer** hit or Miss? Will **Nanook** be a bully? Will **Yeti** be a mf’r? OK, trick question there… Those and many more questions await. ---

That ought to really help boost the membership to the Duke of Rat Fan Club. Finally got to play heads up with **GO** , he usually wipes me out long before it gets to heads up. Highlight of the evening: Took out **Ast** and **RA** in the same hand. With a pair of threes. That I didn’t make until the river. 😃 Vengeance is mine, sayeth the Duck. ---

> [@Robot Arm](#): > > Congratulations, Duke. > > Now, refresh my memory; what were you getting revenge on me for? Nothing personal, I think it was more revenge for the way I’d been playing this quarter. Man I sucked. **Yeti** is the one who endowed me with vengeance. And **nesta** is the one who needs congratulations, he mopped the floor with us this quarter! ---

I started it down about 2 to 1, but managed to double up at one point with a pair of Queens (I think). After that it was basically two hands that did me in. The first I got dealt JJ, which I should’ve folded 😉 because I always lose with JJ. I didn’t put Duke all-in pre-flop and I paid when the flop came A-rag-rag and of course he had an Ace. He went all in after the flop and I was pretty much forced to call given the size of the pot. So he won that hand and was back to being 2 to 1 up. After I lost a few more chips I had 87 and the flop came 984, so I bet into Duke and he called. Then the turn comes 7 and I go all-in of course. Duke calls and the river comes 9 and Duke shows 98, so I was dead from the start in that hand. Good game everyone, good quarter everyone and congratulations to nesta. ---

I want to go back and look at the heads up hands. I remember be-bopping along there with a lot of chips and next thing I know I’m damn near broke. That might have been the QQ hand, can’t remember. The one hand I DO remember was with **MissTake**. I had 99 and the flop came pretty good for a straight draw, but a 9 was part of it. Then the turn came 9 and I hit trips. Missy might have already had a straight then, but she sure enough had one when the Q came on the river. That was a few thousand chip swing I didn’t need. I see I later scored a kill on her. Vengeance is mine, sayeth the Duck 😛 ---

Thanks everyone for a great season. These weekly games have been a lot of fun, and I think we’ve all vastly improved our poker skills. I’m looking forward to next season where I’ll probably finish in the bottom three. ---

The hand I lost so much on early in the HU was a flopped 4 flush that never panned out. The one where I regained the lead was… A pair of jacks! But we both had a pair of jacks, I had JK, you J8. The AA on the flop didn’t really affect us. The bad news is the final hand. I had 96, flop 9A8 so I had you at the flop. The turn was a 7 so you had me. River came 9 so I’m back in the lead. Probably not technically a suck out, my 96 had your 87 beat until the turn and a 5 on the river would have also made me a straight. Also, when I knocked **Ast** and **RA** out, the 3 was actually on the flop. I thought it was the river, I guess I was just surprised to win.
