Wow, I totally forgot the game Thursday after I set it up! Botted my way to 4th, good enough to snatch the win from Dag. That had to suck for the Dagster. Oh, wait! I don’t care 😛 The moral of the story: I’m much better when I’m not playing. ---

At least my bot gets sucked out on the river when he’s all in just like I always get it. 🙂 ---

Hey Duck! I think I _may_ have figured out your constantly being tossed into new SnG’s - when you lose a pop up appears letting you know how much of a loser you are. On the bottom are two buttons. The left one asks is you want to go to another game, the right just closes the table. Are you maybe hitting the left button, which used to just confirm you were leaving the table? ---
