Jump into the fishbowl
It’s that time again…the weekly Mookie tournament. Sign up and see if you can keep JJok, the defending champ, from repeating. It’s always a lot of fun so come out and join us. As always there will be a bounty on me, although I am not sure what that will be yet (open to suggestions). Check back here later for live blogging as well.
We are still waiting on the latest Vegas lines from Don for tonight’s tournament. Also, be sure to drop VegasChris a note if you are interested in dial-a-shots, especially tonight during the tournament.
*** EDIT *** (added my bounty below)
BOUNTIES
- jjok – buyin to next week’s The Mookie ($11 value)

I know, not original, but I haven’t thought of anything better…yet. (I do reserve the right to reject some titles…so no “double fist” references Waffles !)

18-1? What a crock……
I was thinking more along the lines of 6:5 or 3:2.
Need to talk to Don about his handicapping.
Is +140 good or bad? I always get confused.. Does that mean Hoyazo is favored to last longer so they add more bucks to me to make up the difference? Bah. Why can bookies not speak english.
Don has you listed as the underdog. If you were to bet $100 on you, you would win $140. If you wanted to put your money on Hoyazo, you would need to bet $160 to win $100.
The big action is on the SoxLover vs. Iakaris matchup.
no chance Darval cracks my Aces two nights in a row. the line is good.
oh ya, who do i place my bets with. i like $20 on Hoy and JJ not to win (good odds) and $20 on myself to last longer than Darval. ez $$$
Unfortunately this is like playing poker at the “Free Money” tables on Pokerstars.
I may need to give away some money tonight in this.
Come and join us…it’s a lot of fun.
Just so we’re all playing with full and fair information:
My money’s on Sox.
And yeah, I knowingly took performance-enhancing steroids this morning.
I don’t know Iak, there is some money to be made, especially if you are juicing.
Odds of me personally eliminating Waffles from the Mookie tonight:
9:5
Waffles, your time is due my man. Prepare to be hoyed, reraise me for my last chip, and then be shocked when I flip up flopped trips to take you down.
Okay bad news…Kat automatically wins the Last Longer as I cannot “mook” tonight (hmm..I’ve suddenly realized that “To Mookie” is a new verb in my vocabulary).
Of course, with the run our darling Kat has been on lately, I probably would have taken the even money on her!
mmmm…like Waffles I get a little confused by the betting line…what I meant to say was I’ve taken performance-hindering steroids this morning…Sox is going the distance. Smart Money listens to Iak!
Sorry you can’t “Mook it up” tonight Jules.
Iak, I still like taking the “long shot” – You….$100 to win $200 ($300 total) is a good bet I think.
