FINAL BOX PROVEOUT

Box 18 Sean - £20,000

I think we all know what to "expect" the Banker will offer now...

Sensible decision. No chance of the OH DEAR moment coming back today.

And there's the justification for the 3-box deal.

Spanking!

Noel reveals £1 in Suwanna's Box 12!

Spank that.

Box 19 with Iris has the £35,000

Wow, and she said she'd have gambled at 2-box; what a gutting crash that would've been. Good thing she took the money.

Suwanna runs through what she will do with the money. She says she spanked the Banker!

Not sure why Noel asked the hypo-question there at 2-box. Even less sure why she said she would have gambled given that £9k, although not a brilliant offer, wasn't that bad. If she was going to gamble on the red-blue finish, doesn't really make logical sense to deal at 3-box.

I don't believe for a second that Suwanna would've have gambled £9,000 at 2-box. Very wise decision to deal when she did.
The only way she'd have got a higher offer is by taking out the £1 and the chance of that happening was just 33%.

A lot of difficult decisions from 5-box onwards today, with a good chance of a higher offer by opening another box every time, but I'd also be thinking the 2-box offer of a low blue against a mid-red would be hard to predict. Luckily for Surwanna she got out at the right time - if I'd got to that stage I'd have been tempted to try for the all-red finish.

A good thought-provoking game for my birthday

That's good, because it might have gone against you as a second warning. And I think we operate a "3 strikes and you're temporarily out" system here. I think, because the most warnings I've ever had was two. I think. (That said, 14-day temp ban in '06 does kind of cancel those out....that was before the warning system anyway.)


At any rate....courage displayed in good measure here by a player who, by the commentary, didn't seem to really know what she was doing or dealing with. The first "iss a lorra munny aint it?" at £6 thousand and whatever it was, had me shaking my head slightly. But she was damn right, it's a lot of money indeed.
I commend the bravery she had to take it to 3-box, and the sensible decision she made having engineered her game to that point (if she knew what she was doing). Result? Two box which could've backfired, genuine 2-box offer which we haven't seen for a while, though I suspect it may have been ever-so-slightly lower in live play given recent circumstances....blah blah, basically a well played live game and a hypo game which didn't kick her up the backside and she goes home with £13,000. Which is massive.

Yeah, good game.
