Wow... I didn't realize how long the photo of my niece giving everyone the finger would be up on the site. I guess I need to be a little more diligent on keeping the blog updated. I can step on CMoney's neck only so much though. We may need a secretary.
With a new year comes a new season for the Deuce Deuce gang. Our reigning champion is unable to play with us for this season, and Manwhore is moving on to bigger and better things.
With 2 of the top players leaving, the contention for championship should be extremely fierce. The first tournament will have Coopzilla in the bountied-hotseat, as luck repeatedly struck him in the Season 2 finale, having him take a bright spot in first place. TheCanuck and SunshinesBitch, season 1 dogs have turned up the juice, improving their average points taken (APT) by 250% and 370% respectively. StillNotFat and CMoney also have shown slow and steady improvement after the second season (nearly doubling their APTs.)
Your favorite author (Me, Mojo) took the worst of it over Season with a tumble of nearly 90% on average points taken. The two no-shows certainly didn't help matters, but the frequency of "8th place finishes" destroyed me statistically.
With only 10 starting revolvers, it will certainly be a different tournament. We'll start with a single table, rather than 2 six player tables, and the blinds will come at us slower. Position becomes so much more key, as under the gun players will have 9 to act behind them, rather than 5. One definite benefit... SunshinesBitch will have to deal less, likely increasing the simple pace of the game by at least 500%.
We'll miss our departing friends... but time moves on, and the cards will still need to be dealt. Shuffle up, and deal.
