jomell Posted December 26, 2006 Share Posted December 26, 2006 Re: King George VI Sweepstake Oh well finished in 12th..i know i didn't have to push then but with the blinds so big i would have had to have done soon. I was hoping i wouldn't get called as i only pushed with strong hands which i always showed afterwards. An enjoyable game though :clap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
