That's where we differ then. For me there's no way that the allure of being a jackpot winner would override the fact that a gamble wasn't worth it.

If you ever want to play poker when you are legal to do so, let me know please.

Even if he offered £249,999.99?

I almost asked the same thing.

I know we had an extraordinary game with Rich, but I really wish the £250k had gone earlier in the game so that we could have seen if he played a more (ahem) conventional game without the jackpot to influence him (his two-box speech was certainly that of a confetti hound rather than a more general Wakeyist).

I wonder if that's why the offers were so high so early - to encourage him to chase the money if the £250k went so that we could still talk up his "courage" and not discredit the chase-the-£250k strategy (in male players at least).

I am legal, I'm 26!

And I have no intent to play Poker.

It's funny but none of the girls who have actually won the £250k have been a confetti hound. Laura would have dealt at 2-box had the offer been over £50k, Alice had earlier dealt and probably wouldn't have taken the banker's gamble had she dealt for a far greater sum than £17,500, Suzanne was kept going up to 5-box due to forcing offers to prevent another Wilf/Michael and then by the pure strength of the board after it, and I don't think even Tegen was offered enough at 2-box.

Maybe that's the key?



BTW any game where the £250k hasn't been won is technically a squander becuase it's always possible to avoid it and swap for it. Even people who have hit the £250k first box in the game could have avoided that box till the end and swapped for it.

I'm glad to hear that for your sake because your DOND philosophy would make you a terrible poker player.

I actually reckon he might have dealt if he'd turned left instead of right at 3-box, as he no longer had the confetti to chase and probably couldn't have stomached winning a blue after turning down £85k. If he'd dealt say £18k on £50k/blue it would have been the highest ever OPL!

Loved Rich,he played hard and fast but l think the last round really pushed his luck alittle too far.Worth a stab at it if you can afford to lose,but deep down l think Rich was gutted at losing so much dosh.Enjoy Rich.

furry muff, my memory not what it was I guess!
