Or, another person decides to be reckless and gets the blue win she deserves.

...oh no, I'm using Mad Mark language to counter ACB. I'm so going to hell for this.

Hawker5ive approves of this message, and is currently making the most of his time in hell.

$20 given out this week? Is this a game show, or Uncle Banker's Bargain Hut?

And of course Hawker5ive comes back 11 days after he said he's leaving the forum for good. I could see that coming from 3000+ miles away.

To be completely honest, I don't think she was being reckless, nor did she deserve that finish. Still, ACB likes to go off on players "deserving" horrible prove-outs, so I thought I'd throw up the "deserving" aspect in a different light.

If there's anything I hate more than people being blatant asses, it's hypocrisy.

Does the little doggy want a treat? You do, don't you? Who's a good boy? YOU'RE the good boy! Oh yes you are!

Now FETCH!

And when no one gets this joke at all, what I'm trying to say is: Good for you, ACB. Does anyone care for your thoughts here?

Another one of Ryan's spoilers has turned out to be right. So you can only assume they're all right.

If you come across the link to his Twitter account that Mark put up on here, do not click on it unless you want to know the outcome of all the games that are coming up in the near future.

I am very aware of the fact that you want me dead. There, now it's out in the open. Oops.

Does that make you feel good, Asinine Careless Bonehead? Does it?

And now, I'll go back to my place in hell while a reservation is made for you.

I imagine the ratings are crumbling even more rapidly now with games like this. At least this one was viable until 4-box.

The first two offers weren't bad at all, it's just that the Banker never built off that platform, actually moving further short of the FD later on. He got away with it this time...

Oi, I like when people say that sort of thing (It is very rewarding and comforting; no, really).

ACB, Hawker5ive left for a reason. You. I've tried to treat you with respect despite knowing that before, perhaps, most others; in short though, I'll speak for dond.co.uk. Please try to be a decent, good forum member, or just shut up. That's really it.

As for the important stuff, an unfortunate consequence to what might be called bravery, or what may indeed be called the Banker being an idiot with his offers, forcing the player to go on. That last round was extremely unlucky; it could have gone her way just as easily.

Also, this sort of reaction didn't take place when I "returned". Do you not like me as much as you like Hawker5ive, ACB? That makes me sad.

I don't reckon ratings are a top priority seeing as they put it on when 3/4 of the population are working.

Ratings wouldn't be good anyway this week, thanks to Wimbledon.

Good point, well made. I barely watched it as that match was so exciting.

So, all those people who were convinced Sara was going to deal the third offer are suddenly forced to backtrack and lament how her gutsy gamble at 8-box resulted in a blue win. I just hope Sara doesn't beat herself up too much over jumping the wrong way.

It's worth pointing out here that all those 'cautious' deals being vindicated over the last few weeks actually spared us a lot more endings like Lewis and Sara had - the last player to bring a power 5 amount to the table was Tia!

Not quite an avoidable trainwreck but you would have had to have been a cautious player to deal at either 8-box or 5-box today.

Damn, that was an unlucky game.

American Coupon Boy is becoming very popular here. Very understandable.

Yes, it's almost a comeback of daniel123-esque proportions we're seeing from him. Quite remarkable!

Disclaimer: I'm aware that statement makes me look extremely big-headed. Please reserve judgment, folks, I was like that for a year but honestly, truly not any more.

I'm starting to suspect that ACB is impersonating each one of us in turn. I can't wait for the day he impersonates me; this forum would be the nicest place ever!

I can't wait for the day he impersonates September 2006 me, because he'll be banned.

How awesome would that be?
