Speculation Drives UP the Price of Poker by 10%!!! SDMB Poker - 3rd Qtr. 2008

standings:

1 Dag Otto 70.6
2 Kyyrewyyoae 68.5
3 Duke of Rat 62.7
4 Yeticus Rex 56.5
5 Asterion 53.9
6 Miss Take 52.6
7 Robot Arm 52.2
8 Oslo Ostragoth 41.6

My suckitude outsucks the suckitude of the entire North American continent.

I win!

I think Dag was in last place, looks like Kyy’s strategy of sitting out has paid off. Not content with just whipping up on the regulars, I had to lube a few eyesockets in the S-N-G for back-to-back victories.

1: Duke, he RULZ!

I guess I’ll look over the hand history for the rest of the field.

OK, here’s what I get off the hand history.

Duke got the results right. The standings:

1 Kyyrewyyoae 68.5
2 Dag Otto 66.9
3 Duke of Rat 65.8
4 Yeticus Rex 56.5
5 Asterion 54.2
6 Robot Arm 54.2
7 Miss Take 50.8
8 Oslo Ostragoth 41.7

Looks like I have last place sewed up, with maybe three in contention for first.

One week left in the quarter, people. Time to be thinking of a theme for the next one.

Something election based would be too easy.
I think something about the bastige invisible Kyy being in 1st… WITHOUT PLAYING MUCH. Dammit.

I think I’ve only missed 2 or 3 weeks this quarter. I plead homework. But I’ll be there on Thursday, ready to blow my lead.

Kyy has played 10 of 12 games this quarter. Not hiding out in the least.

I am guilty of this, lately because my son’s baseball practices. This Thursday, I should be able to play since we have a batting clinic on Wednesday.

Do I have a chance of getting back to first place? What if I was 1st and Kyy was last, Dag was second to last, and Duck third to last in a 6, 7 or 8 player game?
Any chance there?

You are out of contention, I think.

Dag finished last, last week, and only dropped 3.7 points (from first). I finished first and only gained 3.1 points (stayed third). You need 12 points to catch Kyy if he didn’t play, I just don’t see it happening. You’d need 9 points just to catch me, and my first over last only netted me 8.

I can’t play Thursday, so I’m stuck/set.

Results of the final game:

  1. Dag
  2. Unsinkable (almost) Yeti
  3. Oslo
  4. Missy
  5. Kyy (sorry about wishing bad things for you, but you know…)
  6. Ast

Final standings of a miserable quarter of hyper-inflationary gasoline hikes, followed by the collapse of our financial system:

1 Dag Otto 69.5
2 Kyyrewyyoae 66.1
3 Duke of Rat 65.8
4 Yeticus Rex 59.1
5 Robot Arm 54.2
6 Asterion 51.3
7 Miss Take 50.1
8 Oslo Ostragoth 43.5

Nook only played twice and gets a DNQ for the quarter.

Just checking in from an internet cafe in Vegas.

It’s been quite a trip, so far. I busted out to a suckout flush on the river (at least I wasn’t fourth), accidentally showed up at a biker rally, and saved thousands of lives. I have found America, and stared death in the face. Tales of exhaustion and adventure next time we all chat.

Thanks for the info, Yeti. I think I know what I’m doing tomorrow, Thursday is the distant future, but I’ll figure something out.

Congratulations on the quarter, Dag.

Wow. Fear and Loathing shit.

New thread here.

Get out of the internet cafe and back to the tables, Root.

Talked to Root today, he’s gonna stop by for some beer and grub tomorrow afternoon when he makes his way to L.A.
