Holy cow. According to the set up dialogs, we could put together a tourney for as cheap as $.20 + .02. We need to discuss and vote on stakes. ---

I looked at that again. It makes no sense. If you wanted a $1 buy-in, you have options of +.05, +.10, or +1. Why would anyone choose anything but +.05 for the house? ---

Is $0.50 a week too much of a burden for anyone? ---

That is weird. Maybe somebody else wants to set up a different tournament and we can abndon this one? ---

BTW, Ihave alreadycreated next week’s game. It is calledSDMB Private, the password is ‘rudengrim’. It is $1 +0.05. I am looking at it right now with my own two eyes and that is what it says, so it better not change. ---

Just for giggles, I calculated the odds on the hand I went out on. 81.62% to win, after the flop. ---

Root, you got very unlucky there, no doubt, but you played it correctly. Just take faith in the fact that for everytime you are in that situation and you lose, you should win four times. ---

I want to say up front this isn’t an attack on anyone. That said… I’ve been pretty happy with our ranking system up til now. But someone needs to explain this to me. > [@last week's standings](#): > > 4 Misnomer 66.6 > [@this week's results](#): > > 1. Nomer > [@this week's results](#): > > 3 Misnomer 68.4 How the heck can you come in 13th out of 14th and move UP in points? If indeed that can happen with the current system, I would suggest we need to find a new ranking system, because that is just stupid.
