The nominations typically run about a week behind. So it is possible your poem could get you nominated for next week. I am not sure. I did try and figure it out once but I gave up on it.

Thanks for the nomination, but I won't be able to play again this week. I'll be working tomorrow for 16 hours, so I'll be home around midnight (my time) and by then the game has been over for at least an hour.

[gamer4life27]

Thanks, I will be on the felt.

gamer, you really are a buzz-kill when you're tilting. I hate to have to say it but you turn a fun and social game among friends into uneasy periods of silence between periods of your attacking people. Yes, it sucks that you got unlucky. Yeah, it was unfortunate to run into KK when you did. And, that early shove (mistake or move) was probably upsetting if you wanted to play the hand out.

But that's no reason to take it out on anyone. I missed a lot of the commentary because I was on the phone for much of the game but the tension between you and Wheezy was almost continuous. And that's just not fun for anyone. Maybe wheezy had your number today... maybe he kept getting lucky every time you were in a hand... maybe they were just being a donk (I don't think so but anything is possible). Still, no one wants to see you go off like that.

I do not know how to help you manage this behavior. But I really wish you'd cut it out.

Normally, you're a fun person and a great guy on the forums... but sometimes, I just don't want to have you on the same table as me.

Thanks for the tournament everyone, one of the rare oppurtunities I get to play. Nice to finally play against some of you that post on here.

[C8H10N4O2]

Guess I'm glad I left early on this one.

[PiJuice15]

aww, my first nomination, and I totally missed it.. .Guess I will have to add some quality posts here more often.

[Clearwheezy]

i agree with frob, but hey, anyone can call someone a donk. playing my kk the way i did is not donk play, and that was one of the specific times gamer threw an insult my direction.

Gamer, love ya to death man because a lot of your insight has helped me criticize my game immensely. Keep leaving your feedback (positive or negative), and you'll keep getting invited to 50 dollar freerolls that half the invitees will show up to.

Oh, and PITT and whoever that other guy was who made the final three (i think), i hate you. lol. hand after hand knocking people out with dominated cards! priceless! oh well, it was fun!

Outside of that, thanks RB for letting me get my hands dirty in one of your freerolls!

[RiverstarsVictim]

Well I came second but I wasn't knocking people out. I was as card dead as frob. I was fortunate enough to outrun Gainer's JJ with my AK but other than that I didnt win one showdown. I only made it to 2nd thanks to suicide with the remaining villains and emoney running super hot at a crucial time

[DeadBabySoup]

unfortunately, i didn't have time to play. so i let my roommate play my game. he said he ran into a set of kings with a set of 5s. oh well. hopefully, i'll say something smart sometime soon and get nominated again
