LITTLE DID I KNOW

So a big CONGRATS goes out to mickeymick for locking in #1 Ladder so early on in the month. To those who don't get it ... he does! Ladder points - he finished with over 200 stored up to become untouchable. When I spoke with him today about how it feels to secure it so effectively he basically said he learned it from me. LOL But don't be fooled ... mickeymick is an excellent gin player who carries a 52.6% win percent. LadyAwe wants all to know that that is AWESOME!

TIMING IS EVERYTHING

And while ladder points are crucial in strategy, timing is just as important. For example, I sat with 29 ladder points just 17 minutes before "pay day" and started a simple 100 pt 5 tix match which would assure me a 2nd place finish. This meant winning twice the $$$ that a 3rd place win would award. Alas, can you believe it was a slow crawling point-here-point-there kinda game and went over 17 hands to complete. Needless to say, we went beyond the noon cutoff and 3rd is what I had to settle for. Yeah ... bummer.
Also, for those who don't understand winning percentages and question my above post about how outstanding a 56% win rate really is. You would say to yourself (if you don't understand ladder play) that he only wins slightly above half the time, am I right? Well, the key to understanding what a grand accomplishment that really is is that mickymick plays absolutely everyone who joins his table. Never turns a soul away ever!!! The mark of a true sportsman and not someone hell bent on preserving a convoluted rating. Again hats off to all my fellow ladder climbers. Stay strong cause April is going be another great ride!

"Stay strong cause April is going be another great ride!"
Not for me, I quit ladder for April.

At GameColony.com you can play games of skill only -- play for free or play for $prizes!.
According to the statutes of most states in the United States, gambling is defined as: "risking something of value upon the outcome of a contest of chance". (Also see No Gambling!). The skill (as opposed to chance) is predominant in games of skill. Playing games of skill for $prizes, therefore, has nothing to do with gambling as it is not a contest of chance -- the more skillful player will win far more often. The chance element of a 'gamble' is either insignificant or missing. When players compete in tournaments or games of skill for $prizes -- it is "competitive entertainment" rather then "gambling". The more skilled winner will always win more matches, tournaments and $prizes.
