I would tell you something about this tournament but as you can see I put in a truly abysmal performance.
I am going to stop playing the US games - I have learnt everything I can from playing these: "Don't play tired" [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img] [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Glad to see Thomastem the hired assassin did not manage to finish higher than William [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Congrats to Kurn !

Good game Kurn. Also good job preventing the Euro invaders from winning, and getting swelled heads.

[Kurn, son of Mogh]

Thanks. I was getting reasonable cards most of the night. We were four handed for a while, then I knocked out the other 3 in the space of 4 hands. Nothing like getting the right cards at the right time.

Yeah, The Doc got lost.

One of the liabilities to my work is that I am on call 24/7/365 and if somebody's industrial automation computer system goes down, I am instantly gone to get it fixed and get his plant running again. Happened last night.

I am pleased at the turnout. I recognize 17 of the 18 as 2+2ers. Congrats Kurn.

Want to go full time, master the sitngo. Less grind and less variance.

Doc, no shame in admitting you chickened out (ok, a little shame perhaps) [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

Kurn, congrats. 12½ % danish is good enough, the invasion has begun [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

Mix with 50% Irish & 37.5% Italian, then throw in my grandson who adds Portuguese and African to the mix and you get.......a human!!

No, no, there is no backing out now.
I can see you are practically nothing else than European. Were you kidnapped and sailed to the states as a child?

Nevermind, I think we can oficially declare that the Second US. SNG was won by an exiled inhabitant of the old continent [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

I must admit that this is quite funny, since the Euro SNG winner, and leader of the Euro leaderboard, is actually not a European, but an Israeli, who holds an American passport! [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

On the other hand, my grandparents all came from eastern Europe, Poland and Ukraine, so I have some deep roots in the old continent.

Anyway, as for the SNGs, I'm proud to be a European, side by side with the best of them all: William, Byron, Perkin, and others, against our villains, the AMERICANS!!! [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Edit: Anybody mentioned identity problems? [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img] [img]/images/graemlins/crazy.gif[/img]

I believe there were a couple of 2+2 players that couldn't get in as it filled very fast.

This is something of a concern for those players who want to actively take part in the leaderboard.

Remember, if it gets much more popular and we start playing second games, I will allow points to be earned from a second game so long as at least half the players in the game are 2+2. Keep in mind also that if you play in more than just the main game, you will only earn points from your best finish, not both
