Either going to be 9-1 or 10-0 - I have the remaining 6 trump after the 4 hearts.

You must have had a great hand to bid 8 Hearts, rel.

Good thing my 7 Diamonds bid didn't go through. I was only bidding it to keep Troy and WK from taking an easy win. Apart from the JOKER I had a lousy hand.

I had 5 hearts and was hoping on a wing and a prayer to get something in the widow. But in truth, I bid hearts to keep them from seeing the widow and not really thinking I could win it. Widow had A hearts, 9 hearts, 7 hearts, J hearts and 6 clubs. I could not believe it.

I started with 7D, 5D, KH, QH, 4H, 6H, 10H, KC, QC, QS.

so I tossed the 6C, 5D, 7D, QC and QS to leave the hearts plus K clubs. Was figuring on losing the first round but got lucky that redwill had the Joker and TL had to play the J Diamonds. If TL had had both, could have made the hand come down to the wire.

extremely lucky.

when I bid last night, I kind of figured the widow would have little given that you and redwill had already bid. I got to work and saw the widow PM this morning and could only muster "wow" in my reply to rylan confirming which cards I discarded. I suspect I won't see a hand like that again.

That widow would have been near worthless with any other suit, and since I only had a single spade, I suspect had I not bid that TL/WK would have been able to take it.

Final game score:

Troy/WK: 380
rel/redwill: 600

Do we want to play another game? Shall we switch partners for variety? ... heh heh.

I'm not sure if anyone else has expressed a legitimate interest in playing, so i'm ok with either switching things up or just making this a best of three.

Yeah ... oddly enough, no one is beating down the door to join in the thrills, the spills, the highs, the lows, the side-bursting laughs, the heart-rending sobs ... the never-ending action-packed roller-coaster-ride that is 500.

So I'm cool with another game with the same partners.

Willie Kool is down. I'm writing it now:

"Totally down."

... You do know we're talking about becoming nuns, right?

Coincidentally, I just recently read that John Landis (later a director of some note) was an extra in the movie Kelly's Heroes and played a nun.

I am busy at the moment. If you guys could find a co-mod that would help immensely.
