Default Quest ends - winners announced

I'm done with the end of August Quest. FWIW, the posters who had high expectations got screwed - because I am ending today, but blame the site, not me.

I got disconnected 12 times over the past few hours yesterday and this morning. [censored]! I'm supposed to have 2 disconnects for protection - but did that ever work? NO!!

Also, had the same weird streak as last time I played here a few months back where I couldn't hit a flop. This time When I noticed it I started keeping track (over yesterday and today) and for the time when I actually saw a flop with A-face, here are my stats for when I hit a pair or better:

AK 11 times, hit a pair twice
AQ 9 times, hit a pair once
AJ 7 times, hit a pair zero times
total of 29 times I held a-face and hit a pair or better three times. That's [censored] 10.3% - how is that possible. I guess I just suck at low-limit limit games.

As for the quest - I did play over 20 hours, and my final tally with the $9.85 I started with and rake-back is $559.06

By my estimations, that leaves the top guesses as:

$555.51 by Optimus Prime (3.51 away)
$555.13 by 1C5 (3.93 away)

Bills217 just missed with 563.85 (4.79 away)

Since I didn't play as many hours as I expected, I'm gonna change the prize a little.

Sept. 23rd at 1630 hours is a HORSE tournament in the WCOOP - tourny number 8.

Optimus Prime would have gotten 40% of a $110 tourny and 1C5 would have gotten 40% of a $55 tourny - but I'll play the HORSE and share:

Optimus Prime has a 20% stake in any winnings

1C5 has a 10% stake in any winnings

and I'll include Bills217 for a 5% stake in any winnings

Hope this is cool with everybody - thanks for playing.

I play as Zimba on PokerStars. Good luck to us all.
