I’d have to look at the betting. Seems to me like I lost an AST stack-sized side pot to AST, and GO took me the rest of the way out. I’d say GO gets the kill, I would have survived heads-up against AST.

That should say I doubled AST up on the main pot, and GO took me the rest of the way on a side pot. Still, I’d say GO took me out.

The way I see it is same as Duke. Basically there were two hands going on. The hand with Ast, Duke and myself ad the hand (side pot) with Duke and myself. The first hand Ast won, whcih took chunks from me and Duke. But the second hand I won which took Duke out. The thing is, Ast couldn’t kill Duke by himseld, but I could.\

Effing quad 6’s!

Other eminisces from last night:

- Slow playing my pocket set of three’s off the flop for a healthy early pot.

- Taking out kyy’s pre-flop all-in with pocket 10s versus AK and a flop of A10K

- OMD and myself goin up against Dag’s all-in. I got a pair of 6’s on the flop and was content to check down. But OMD challenged me to a duel and I accepted and won a big pot when his flush never came.

- OMD getting revenge on close to the final hand when I paired my Ace and he paired his 6 on the flop. I couldn’t bet him off the hand (not sure I wanted to at the time). He hits a 6 on the turn, checks, I bet big, he goes all-in and I am obligated (?) to call. D’oh. To make matters worse, Dag got the 4th 6 on the river. Left me with 220 and I did manage to double up twice, but submitted soon after.

[QUOTE=Only Mostly Dead]

As such, Ast could not knock out Duke on his own. It took GO’s hand also beating Duke’s in order to put Duke over the top to busting out. On the one hand, GO had a hand that would have beat Duke, whether Ast played the hand or not. On the other, Ast had the best hand for the deal, beating both GO and Duck, and took a significant number of Duke’s chips.  
[/QUOTE]

I would count the kill as **GO’s** , because he was the only one (between **Asterion** and him) who was able to take **Duke** out, regardless of who was in or out of the hand. For a kill, it comes down to a player taking the last dollar (chip) from another player who is short-stacked between the two… **GO** was the only one that could and did on that hand.

Sorry for another bot performance…the contractors stayed beyond my projected time, and my little guy was traumatized by something during his bath last night that took an hour to calm him down…something akin to a bath toy finding it’s down the drain and his separation anxiety not making a good combination. Will update the kill list soon.

Man, that was a screwed up hand. Asterion acted first. He was pretty short and I figured he was making a move. GO called him, so I figured GO also thought he was making a move. There were only 2 hands pre-flop that could beat me, and the way things unfolded I thought I might have the best hand…I never suspected that BOTH the hands that could beat me were in the pot ahead of me.

Oh for a Q on the river… 🙂

I am pretty sure I raised asterion at some point pre-flop. I thought you acted first, Aster raised, I re-raised, you called, aster went all-in, I went all-in you called. But that may be completely wrong.

AA, KK, QQ…crazy.

What are the odds on me getting even one kill before the end of the quarter?

You’re probably right. Maybe I was first and Ast coming over the top of me made me remember it as him acting first. It was all a blur of chips leaving my stack 😃

Sorry I missed it, guys. I was looking forward to at least joining the chat, but my fairy godmother must have had other ideas – I was pumpkinified long before 10 pm rolled around. Maybe next week!

After hearing from the rest of you, I’m convinced GO should get that kill alone, and it’s good to see Yeti credited it as such.

Just an FYI for them who care: I won’t be playing tonight. I moved today, and there’s no internet at home yet (I’m in the office right now, just long enough to check e-mail/messages and the SDMB). I know that my nearly constant folding will be missed. 😉

Oslo prodded them a little while ago, and I’m reading Paula the riot act now. She says I’m to hold while it’s listed, so that sounds hopeful.
