Thats a hoot!


But seriously, to have a 3x edge on the field there have to be two donks like this - standard. How is your ROI on the 20s?

My ROI in the 20s is at 94%. I've won one and FT'ed two others.

heh
apparently 20 bucks isn't much to a lot of people.
Only played like 3 of these or so and pretty much get donked out early on by the K5s type of guys :P.

and those guys laugh their ass off when they crack you as if they magically knew they were going to hit or something.

I will win one of those one of these days though!!
