Dear daneblazer,
So sorry to hear about your misfortune in the SBR 9pm tourney last evening. Our records show you were provoked into an ill-advised "all-in" whilst holding a measly pair, via a certain member's metagame antics (the member shall remain nameless for security reasons); all while ignoring the clear indication that yisman's lower pair would snap you off and send you ignominiously to the rail, as 88 in your hand previously warned you (if you were paying proper attention) that yisman's 88 was destined to ram it up your poop chute in that particular hand by way of a certain set.
We at SBR offices can only lead our members to clearly forecast waters, but we can't make members drink.
Better luck next time, and we at SBR strongly suggest paying closer attention to detail, next time, so that such unfortunate occurrences will not repeat themselves.
We also strongly recommend you play more like the winner of the 9pm tourney:
and less like ttwarrior:
BTW, our chat records show that this particular winner politely asked you to hang around, observe and take copious notes on how to navigate the rigors of a SBR tournament. Everyone at the SBR offices hopes to hell you heeded his sage remarks -- and did exactly that.
Lastly, SBR noticed upon your tourney departure you mentioned something in chat about "trying to convince the wife to have sex"; while we strongly doubt anything of the sexual sort actually occurred last night -- and you probably settled for watching a "Survivor" episode on DVR -- we are indeed kicking around the idea of posting a line in the SBR Book under "exotic betting" concerning the odds of you having any kind of carnal knowledge with the wife from now until the end of the year. Stay tuned, the opener appears to be settling in at around (+550).
We thank you for playing here... SINCERELY,
-- SBR Doug
