Brother Dwayne has no bad beats. Let's call him Mr. Consistency.

69 with the girls from NSP (there's supposed to be a hyphen in there: 6-9)

6 to 9 | Nice game guys. I take full responsibility for the loss. I am in a deep slump. I'll break out soon. Sorry for the loss. I should have won two of my games and we would have won the night. Anyway, after looking at the fines, I found that apart from Taek who had a great night, we just kinda sucked last night. Still, it was a fun night and the good news is the drink kitty amassed 23,000 Won!

Fines:
Andi = -7,000 (3 straight losses and a missed ball in hand, ouch!) + 2,000 Cheers
Ralpha = -5,000 for 3 straight losses +5,000 Cheers
JBer = - 2,000 for 2 losses +1,000 Cheers
Taek Nine = Great job! -2,000 Cheers
Kae Hoonie = -1,000 -1,000 Cheers
Dwaynie poo = -5,000 for 3 straight losses +1,000 Cheers


= 23,000 for the kitty (see the running total)

Why Andy Should Sit Out Next Week...

According to the Stats Man, here are the winning percentages for each Santa Mierda player at home:

Kae Hoon .667

Dwayne .571

Taek .500

Ra .476

JB .416

Andy .307

What's the reason for this discrepancy? I don't know. I'm just the Stats Man.

Itaewon Money Tournaments

개훈! 승리를 축하해요! Kae Hoon "Kenneth" Lee wins the Itaewon Money Tournament B and 400,000 W.

Dwayne wins 50,000 W in the A Level. Andy, Taek, and Ralph all suck.

JB. No comment.

Finally, a win!

Nice 9-6 win this week over IPC Pinoy.

Andy and I did some fancy calculations at lunch today using our cell phones and the league statistics page. We found the winning percentages of each player this season as of this week. Thought you might like to see it: Ra 73% Andy 66% Dwayne 65% Kae Hoon 60% Taek 56% Enda 41% JB 27% Soon Bom 0%

Now, for the fines. JB lost game #5 straight -5,000 and -2,000 for two losses (great win against Jay Jay in between; Kae Hoon -2,000; Enda -2,000; and Dwayne -1,000. ha ha ha -- no fine for Ra or Taek. See the running total page. We are up to 52,000 in the kitty.

Another 8-7 Loss =(

I really like the table at Pub Scrooge.

Anyway, here are this week's fines:

Andy: -2,000 (2 losses)

Kae Hoon: -2000 (2 losses)

Taek: -2000 (2 losses)

Enda Yo Life: -1000

Dwayne: -1000

Ra: -1000 (The doubles match strikes again!)

JB: -6000 (Three in a row + 1 loss)

The running total has been updated.
