What an awesome TR. Ive been considering hiring Andrew as a coach for a while and I think it's time for me to finally take that plunge.

Runouts are just variance, but yes, that one felt like a kick in the nuts. Pun intended.

Good writeup Howard ! But I found no mention of my run to the pharmacy on Day 3. This is hurtful.

CJD,

Damn, that totally slipped my mind! I ran out of allergy medication and Davola made a pharmacy run for me.

Did CJD ask for 25% ME shares for this good deed?

Awesome TR by the way.

Not at all: CJD was as gracious and decent and supportive as one could want, with no ask at all on his part.

That is some good karma for next year’s ME Crazy Joe. Howard, I know CJD from MGM-NH.

Cliff is an awesome player, it was unfortunate that he had to lose with the best hand versus AK to the eventual 3rd place finisher.

PM me your mom’s name. If she lived in Next House, I would have known her for sure.
