Ka-aaaaaahhh-ndo!
(Edit: The night's winner believes he was "persuaded" to accept an extra five dollars that his own calculations do not justify. He insists on giving it back. I am reluctantly adjusting the chart at his insistence. This late, without proof of what happened and just assuming that Mitch's numbers are correct, I don't think it's right to guess at the source of the discrepancy. It was an unusual night with a great deal going on, so we can reasonably hope we're not seeing a return to the days of sloppy win/loss tracking. In the future, we will continue to be careful and attempt to resolve any doubts we have at the end of the game. You're a good man, Mitch Barnes. Now, when you take first on the chart, you can glory in your win without qualms. —Your Padre)


Our host, the Good Doctor, was the hero of the night even before suggesting that the Kando game become an annual event. No one let him win, but at least there was no trophy present. Mitch "I'm-twenty-on-but-won-too-much-to-track-accurately" Barnes was our big winner. (Check out his unprecedented position on the chart!) Everyone else blissfully enjoying the night was within single digits of even. Speed took the two dollar derelict pot. The food and drinks were incredible, and the staff was so smooth that within two minutes of the group (ahem, Padre) elbowing a glass off a side table, the staff broke one in sympathy. Cigars. Cocktails. Wagyu. Lobster. Caviar. Sandos. Nama dogs... Thank you, Kando. Thank you, Doc!

Consider It Brought
Batman, groggily shaking off this year's bruising start, was the night's big winner for the second week in a row. Meanwhile, at the other end of the chart, our Boy Wonder had some tough cards and now hosts the loser's trophy after a double-digit loss. So, first and second place on the chart lost money, last on the chart gained, and most of the middle edged upwards. Again, the absent Nemesis benefits from the sidelines while the battlers batter each other. The chart continues to accordion entertainingly, and Tuesday nights are bringing it. Next week, Ka[aaaaahhh]ndo!!!

Batman is Back...
...and he brought our Boy Wonder, Speed, who took the two dollar derelict and first on the crazily competitive chart. With six solid players, the game was relatively calm, but very pleasant. Our Guest made the loser's trophy irrelevant.

Game On! Come at us!
This year continues to promise even more competitive excitement than last year. By the end of the night, despite large pots and big swings in the fortunes of many players, everyone finished in single digits. Ray Gun finished nine up, enough to pass the absent Nemesis atop the chart. Choo-choo finished nine down, which ended your Padre's long streak of last place finishes. A two dollar derelict win left him even and ended his losing streak. (Even this, the fact that a losing streak can be ended by finishing even, i.e., not losing, was loudly contested by Speed, who was even more obnoxious than usual in his second place finish.) Competitive? Five players are within ten dollars of the top of the chart.

Unprecedented
It was wild from the start. The first hand was a monster, and the longstanding chart leader, your Padre, never recovered. With eight players, the pots were large and heavily contested. Speed finished first at fourteen up, and your Padre took the loser's trophy for the fourth week in a row. As a result of that loss, he slipped below one player, the absent Nemesis, who is now first on the chart. The three players in the middle of the chart, Speed, Mitch, and Doc, were the night's only winners, the first two in double-digits. The result? A majority of the regulars are now within a single good game of first place on the chart. Competitive enough for you?
