Hey mas, altho the DM has over but i just wanna check, there was once in page 16/17 when Trevor bet on both sides and he lost, he lost an additional 5 chips to Rexxy, just checking if its correct/supposed to be like this.

Hmm, thanks for asking. I realise when I read back the rules, it does say that only if they win both sides, then they get the 5 chips. However, when we play the game the first time Joseph vs. Rexxy, I did say when asked that the loser will pay 5 chips instead if only they win both sides. Which is why I followed it for this game also prob cos it didn't hit me that I worded it that way. Since we followed that in the first game and nobody raised an issue about it this time, I will take it that they were okay with following the rules of the first version for that part. Thanks anyway for highlighting it.

Just kinda spotted it when I was trying to follow, I guess I missed it last time because Joseph vs Rexxy one was 30+ pages long .. So I assume that 5 chip penalty would be applied to both parties in subsequent rounds of double-sided poker, if there still is any.

Some questions:
1) How do you feel about the Main Match once it gets started?
2) Do you have to change any strategies while playing it?
3) What do you think about the results of the Main Match?
4) Were you worried on getting picked for the Death Match?
5) What's your thoughts on the Death Match?
6) Were you happy that Rexxy made it through?
7) With one more round before the finale, how do you feel?

Some questions: 1) How do you feel about the Main Match once it gets started? Well, I thought coming in to it, I thought I had a decent shot if I go straight to the guests, and if I am the first one that lock in a convincing idea in their heads, it might do me some good, and I think coming to the final 4, I have this feeling that none of the players would actively cooperate to help one another since there's no extra token and going to the DM is just one mistake away. As the game progresses, I get more and more uncomfortable with my position and I realised that I stood a good chance of coming in last because I went too far to bid for the divide sign in round 3, putting me in a chip disadvantage. It was rough from then on and i have no idea what I'm doing half the time from then on
2) Do you have to change any strategies while playing it? I did try to change things up a little. Initially I tried to just maintain some chip advantage, until round 3, when I saw the opportunity for Rexxy to cough up more chips, I decided to go for the raise, thinking that Rexxy would throw in some chips with Pete so that he wont end up with last pick (which he had a high chance of getting the divide sign). When I saw Kevin took it, I knew I'm in a lot of trouble, I knew I had to bark elsewhere, getting adam to trade me the 12 was a somewhat safe move (and I'm trying to get on Adam's good graces), but knowing that Rexxy and Kevin was about to give me offers as well after the deal made me kinda doubt my move too. Maybe things would be a little different if things turn out otherwise.
At the end, I'm lost of actions, basically here's a list of things I did in panic mode:
- asking adam for his number - asking pete for his number - asking pete for more hints about his number - asking adam for 20 chips!! - talking to random people to get more information about swaps and stuff - waiting for adam to reply about his number
There were so many deals in between I wasnt aware of and that kinda confused me alot, right now I'm still not sure why the 'x' that rexxy is supposed to get, ends up with Kevin and then Trevor. and somehow I think Pete went from supporting me to supporting rexxy the moment i blew the round 3 bidding. so confused by everything. I was so lost and confused by that point that I thought I absolutely have no shot at winning this game.
3) What do you think about the results of the Main Match? The outcome was closer than I expected. I was just throwing in random numbers and hoping and praying that i get a couple correct. little did i know that I was THAT close to winning, I was 1 Kevin number away from winning it, and I considered his number for a while before i shook it off. ughhhh
I didnt know Rexxy's score would be so low either, but I guess I have a safer number than Rexxy . since my ? could be anything from 1 to 12. Well, Kevin kinda swooped it off, really nice one by him. To think that Adam was so close to winning it, now I wonder if he would give the token to me or not. We have been communicating quite a bit, but nothing much had been going on, so I'm not sure what would've happened.
only if i didnt try to out bid pete, this could be a landslide in my favour.
4) Were you worried on getting picked for the Death Match? Personally, I thought I had 99% chance of going for the DM, Rexxy is proven to be a really really great player, I never in the right mind would pick Rexxy for DM, although I kinda told myself that I would align with Trevor this round, so I'd only pick Rexxy if my choices were Trevor and Rexxy, but in any other scenario in the past, I'd try to avoid that .
I did a little campaign to Trevor, not sure how well it turned out to be, but since he didnt pick me, I guess its kinda a blessing for me. That was a surprise but a happy kind of surprise..
The irony is that, I've been trying to go against Trevor the past 2 MM, pushing for Joshua and Arnold to pick Trevor, right now Trevor is the one that saved me, now I felt a little bad that things went down this way.....5) What's your thoughts on the Death Match? Two-sided poker couldnt have came at a better time though, in my arguments to beat Rexxy i pointed out that Rexxy's weakness isbetting games and it's one of those that might give rexxy a run for the money...
well... or so I thought.6) Were you happy that Rexxy made it through? Well, I'm glad that someone I've worked with since the start of the game had made it through, and he overcame adversity with that 41-9 chip disadvantage. It was reallty really well played by him... but then again... how could be beat Rexxy then :/
I need to clarify that the checking of ruling was not to sabotage Rexxy's win but more of clarifying my doubt in case two-sided poker appears once again, but really mad props to Rexxy and Trevor kinda overextended close to the end, and he got unlucky 7) With one more round before the finale, how do you feel? Excited!!!.. every round I say the same thing.. I never thought I'll end up this far! This has been a huge joyful experience and I'm fighting my hardest to stay every main match!
Now the end is right in sight, and I have two top contenders right in front of me, this is going to be tough, but I hope this motivates me to fight even harder so that i could actually win it right now! I have a somewhat decent chance of making it till the end!! omg! but also, on a relatively sadder note, after 10MM this is gonna end soon, and I dont know how to feel about this ://
