MM Game 8: vs. Dave "Brett's my bitch" Turissini
This was an okay game, but probably the most lopsided 20-point loss I've had in a while. It seems like we both made a lot of mistakes.

Michigan Madness Games 5-7

Which, needless to say, made me feel frickin' right as rain. I went from 152 points down to up 40 in two turns in the pre-endgame! On to the games.

I'm going to try to post all of my games in three game increments. Hopefully I am diligent enough to do a post a day. I really should be studying the 8s instead.
Game 1: vs. Eileen Jones
Play the Game
She challenged my opening bingo, so was too timid to challenge my phoneys later. I know that she was openly complaining about me after the game ( Read more... ) -
