The 2025 Championship: Speed Wins!
It was in many ways an ideal finish to a great year. Although it was unusually competitive going into the final game—with a theoretically possible path to first for any of the top four regulars—five hours of highly entertaining play concluded with no change in rank among the players finishing positive. Speed is now a three-time AIPC champion. The only player to break out of single digits in either direction in the game was Choo-choo. Her first place win solidified her positive finish for the year and earned her the 2025 "Worst of the Best" title. Smart money is on an even better finish for the Train next year. ("Best of the Worst" goes to the Zombie Killer, who finished fourteen down and was much missed this year.) Congratulations to the second place Dude, who made a serious run at back-to-back championships. Your Padre and Ray Gun also had significant stretches in first this year but finished in third and fourth place, respectively, after Ray Gun missed the championship game with a last minute illness. (Get better soon, Galactus!) Doc had legitimately poor cards and threw caution to the winds for the final game of the year; after a three-dollar derelict victory and a loss of only six dollars, the good doctor ended the year tied with Our Guest on the bottom of the chart. The Counselor dodged the absent trophy at just nine down and will be missed at next week's party. "Winners, Losers, Philosophers, Friends," many, many thanks. posted by Padre 6 days ago

Penultimathon!
Living up to expectations, the 2025 Penultimathon was tight but left four players within striking range of the 2025 championship. Again this week, pots were large, and again this week, the Dude was the big winner at just seven up. The hosting Padre's five dollar win was enough to lift him into third on the chart once Ray Gun's loss was included. Finishing ten down on the night, our Galactic D took the one-dollar derelict pot along with the loser's trophy. Mitch finished the night a buck up, and Our Guest limited his loss to three. The good doctor finished even and kept his resolution to tighten up even before the year's end. Prepare yourself for the final confrontation! posted by Padre 13 days ago

Earth's—Ok, Poker's—Mightiest Heroes
Under pressure, our heroes stepped up. Pots were significant and so were the swings, but in the end, everyone who played rocked. Speed and the Dude each had long heaters, but, undaunted, the challengers chipped away at those wins. The Dude's seven dollar win was enough to lift him from fourth on the chart to third. Speed's six dollar profit incrementally improved his grip on the lead for the championship. Ray Gun and your Padre recovered from nights in the negative and ground out two dead-even finishes. Uncle Rico's two dollar derelict win converted his single-dollar loss to a single-dollar win. Mitch, after both good and bad cards, played well and finished just two down. Choo-choo also had some good cards and bad beats; her five dollar loss wasn't enough to undermine her in-the-black-first-year chart position. While Doc took the loser's trophy for the week, he successfully began tightening up in preparation for next year. The good doctor finished just seven down.

That? That's Enter-TRAIN-ment.
Choo-choo took first again as an entertaining evening ended in yet more tightening on the championship chart. The Train chugged higher uphill into positive territory, in fifth on the chart and closing distance. Your Padre, previously in fourth, overtook the Dude to take third. (The Dude, after halving his two dollar loss with a one dollar derelict pot, was, barely, one of only two losers on the night. The other, Doc, left with Mr. T after a nineteen dollar loss.) Atop the chart, Ray Gun, in second, gained on Speed, now highly motivated to hold onto first. With three games left, the finish line is in sight and the excitement continues to mount. That's enter-train-ment. posted by Padre 27 days ago

TIGHT-ans!
Wild. After big gains and big losses, seven heroes fought their way to practically even. The big winner, Choo-choo, finished five up. The trophy-taker, the Dude, finished only five down after his two dollar derelict win. The amounts were slight, but the tightening trajectory on the chart continued, and anticipation mounts for a dramatic championship finish. (This week, incidentally, saw test runs for two new games. Underdog—which, despite its intentions, does seem to violate our rules parameters—will never be played again. The game that seemed to work was the Anaconda variation Snakehead/Consent/Just the Tip.) posted by Padre 34 days ago
