hrothgar Posted May 22, 2015 Report Share Posted May 22, 2015 Are kibitzers allowed? The BBO money games are well designed to prevent any kind of cheating, a necessary consequence of which is that you can't watch in real time. Maybe we could get Timo to post a video afterwards that we can all watch. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
masse24 Posted May 22, 2015 Report Share Posted May 22, 2015 Make sure to post the hands! (Assuming, of course, that Phil isn't too chickenshit to play)Impossible! Phil has boasted of his expertise "in a voice of thunder" on this forum. To back out now would be too humiliating to fathom. Keep us posted as to time and date. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrAce Posted May 22, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 22, 2015 I actually ran into Phil in BBO. Asked if we are going to walk the talk, unfortunately he was either away or busy http://www.bridgebase.com/forums/public/style_emoticons/default/sad.gif. No respond. But if it does happen I will do my best to record it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are very real issues when people primarily play in circles that don't intersect. For example, Timo plays most of his games against Jimy Cayne while Phil's wins are racked up in the BIL...

I agree with Richard that BBO skill is inaccurate, although it shows me as some sort of expert and Phil as intermediate. As I said in the past, it also showed me better than Versace at some point.

I find this particular money challenge in poor taste - the original offer, as I recall, was for PhilG007 and a partner of his choice (it can be Madala as far as I am concerned) to take on me and MikeH at suitable stakes. Any attept to hijack this is just not on! :angry: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any attept to hijack this is just not on! :angry: Phil King. You are way too overbidding and psyche. You stand no chance against a "DBL with a voice of thunder!" How many boards were you playing? And the stakes were? Rik Frankly, the way PhilG called me out on this, I never thought he would back up, and was getting ready to order couple more 18 wheelers and run them via hired drivers. While I make sure all the liability insurance, cargo insurance, maintenance, diesel, driver payments are covered by me working in front of my pc!!
