How much more of the world's habitat and food supply for animals do we plan on destroying. How many more wetlands are we going to drain, fill, and build on? How many more sand dunes are we going to knock down in the interests of high-rise hotels or luxury homes?

I don't mean to be disrespectful, but I don't believe that I got 580 for a score.

I believe that I scored 480. Or else I don't remember what bid I submitted for one of the hands. Please check again, thanks.

oh, well


Thanks Ben, panel, Pigpenz, and all participants for an EXTREMELY challenging and well done poll. I don't know what others thought, but I found these hands to be wicked.

I would like to congratulate everyone who didn't get any zeroes because that means your bids were not way off on this incredibly hard set!

I thought these were particularily challenging hands. I picked them from vugraphs I watched live or kibitzed virtually after the fact. These were hands where at the point in the bidding I said to myself, what the hell would I do here? In addition, these where hands were the two tables in the event took greatly different views on the hands. I would hate to think what my scores would have been if I had submitted them. I was lost on most of them. I found the comments of the stars very useful in deciding how to handle similar situations in the future... .JUST HOPE I DONT GET THEM.....

Congratulations to Don. Couldn't have had a nicer winner. We were quite lucky it wasn't Mark.

Thanks to Ben, Pigpenz, and all the panelists.

i thought it was a great set of hands, even if it did result in a score i hope never to achieve again (i don't even think it's possible :lol:)... thanks to all involved, especially the players on the panel, who took the time to explain their thought processes
