Week 18 - Dallas Sends a Surrogate
1st (40$ / 10pts): Mike "Lackey" Kart
2nd ($10/ 7pts): Randall "Foiled Again" Ryan
3rd ($0 / 4pts): Martin "Jacks Suck" Galway
4th ($0 / 2pts): Ray "I Had GOOD Cards" Flowers
Low Stakes / 8 Players / 1 Table / 1140p Endtime
The poker list says Dallas Dickinson is going to play. So...we all trundle to Ray's abode in breathy anticipation. Has fatherhood changed him? Is Bioware beating him up? Will he have the same wry sense of humor, or has life made him fat, incosolable and suicidal?
Who knows, because "Dallas" was actually "Mike." Who had some lame story about having a baby with Dallas and being part of his baby circle of friends. Well, that was obviously just crazy talk; Dallas has no friends since he disowned us. The antennae were up. Whatever "Mike's" stated story was could have no bearing in reality. Clearly, he was a plant. And no, not a ficus. Nuclear, perhaps.
So the bottom line is that Mike won. Is he a good player? Who knows? When you have pocket Kings, Aces and Queens on a consistent basis, it's tough to lose. How, one wonders, did he get them so consistently? Let's take a poll:
a) "Mike" actually can stack the deck
b) Dallas was in Ray's kitchen window giving "Mike" signals
c) The 1,980,426:1 odds that "Mike" would get 42 pocket pairs in 4 hours actually occurred
d) "Mike" is a prototype robot that Dallas is testing for the new game.
Ultimately, we know the real answer can't be that McJo's regulars get beat by new people because the new people are actually competent poker players. Now THAT'S just crazy talk.
