Correct!  Now it's time to decide who gets the next card Immanuel. If you keep it, you'll win the hand if the card is anything from a 2 through an 8. Or you can pass it to Raymond, try to bust him, and hope it's not a fit. Keep the next card or pass it? |

Very well. If this passed card is a fit for Raymond, he'll pick up another $175 and be up 2 hands to none. If it is not a fit, $175 will go to you Immanuel, and the game will be tied at 1 hand apiece. The card you passed to Raymond is...  A FIVE! You busted Raymond and won the hand Immanuel!  And that was a win/win situation for you Immanuel, had you kept the 5 you would have won the hand too! So in spite of the unorthodox strategy, it worked out! Now onto hand #3. This one is worth $125 to the winner. To get control of the cards players, please tell me, what "P" connects the split words...  DECIMAL and BLANK?  Raymond, you are in first this time and have until 8:00pm EST on Thursday, February 2nd to post your answer. |

Correct Raymond! You now control the deck and the first card for your consideration this time is...  OH a JOKER! That means whoever wins game 2 of this match will have one extra Pot Limit pick, and that could prove quite valuable! Next card is...  A King. Raymond, do you wish to keep that for your own hand, or pass it to Immanuel, or place it in the center as the common card? |

And that should come as a surprise to nobody. Next card...  A 3. Raymond are you going to place that in the center as the common card or give that one to Immanuel? |

Giving yourself a HUGE split from a 3 up to a KING. This means the card Immanuel will receive for this hand is...  OH BOY! An ACE!!!!!!! HUGE splits on both sides this time! Very very important toss up puzzle here I dare say... Players, this time we're looking for a word that starts with "S" and connects the split words:  SOCIAL and GUARD  And Raymond is in first again. Raymond you have until 5:40pm EST on Friday, February 3rd to post your answer. |

Not the first time someone has called for Security with me around (chuckling) Raymond, here is the situation. You control the next card. You may elect to keep it or pass it to Immanuel to try to bust him. If you keep the card Raymond, only an Ace or a 2 would lose for you, anything else including either another three or another King will win this hand for you and $125 more. If you pass, only a 2 would lose for Immanuel. Do you keep this card or pass it Raymond? |

I can't say that I blame you. For $125 more, and to take the lead 2 hands to 1 in this second game of our match. The card you kept is...  a FIT! A 9 works! Good thing you kept that card too Raymond, as that would have also won for Immanuel! That is why I cannot emphasize enough just how important gaining control over the deck is!  That hand was worth $125, you now are up to $1,000, yours to keep no matter what. Win just one more hand in this game Raymond and you will be crowned the inaugural Split Decision champion. Immanuel, time for you to start the comeback! For control of the cards players, I need you to tell me what word starting with a P will connect the split words...  SCIENCE and RUNWAY  Immanuel you are in first this time and have until 6:40pm EST on Friday, February 3rd to post your answer. |

That's correct! Immanuel you once again have all important control of the cards. Let's have a look at the first one for this hand...  A ten. Are you keeping that for yourself, giving it to Raymond, or do you want to put that in the middle as the common card that you two will share for this hand? |

The 10 is Raymond's. Next card out of the chute...  An Ace! You can keep that for yourself or place it in the center Immanuel. |

Giving Raymond only a 5 card split, from a ten up to an Ace. Remember, tie cards win during the front game. Immanuel, you are now hoping for a low card. The card you kept for yourself is...  A seven. This means 8 cards will win for you Immanuel and 5 will lose. Conversely 5 cards will win for Raymond and 8 will bust him instead. Here's our next toss up puzzle for that pivotal control of the next card... What "F" connects...  SAFETY with AID?  And Mr. Tims is in first again. Immanuel, you have until 7:05am EST on Saturday, February 4th to post your answer. |

Correct! Now comes decision time once again.
Immanuel, you know what the splits are for both you and Raymond.
Do you wish to keep the next card to try to fit your split and tie up this game, or do you wish to pass the card over to Raymond with the hopes of busting him?

We'll soon find out if the passing strategy will work or backfire. Raymond, if this next card I turn up is higher than a 9, you will win this hand, $75, plus $250 for winning the game, and also you will win the match. If it is a 9 or less, Raymond will score $75 and we'll be all tied up at 2 hands apiece once again. The card Immanuel passed to you is a.....  Bust! The hand goes to Immanuel! And Immanuel, it's a very good thing you did pass it, because that 4 would have spelled permanent doom for you!  And here we are again, just like last game, all tied up at 2 and 2. The winner of this hand will take game 2. Raymond is going for a match win, Immanuel is looking to win this game and tie up this match. Superb opening match too! This last hand is worth $50, plus $250 as it will win the game, so $300 riding on this hand. First toss up for this final hand. I need a word starting with P that links together...  BUTTERMILK and SYRUP  Immanuel, you are in first once again. Your answer is needed no later than 5:50pm EST on Saturday, February 4th. |

I'm actually having them for dinner tonight! And now let's look at the first card for this most important hand...  And wouldn't you know it's Deja Vu all over again The first card just like last hand is a black ten... Thank you spirit of Nipsey Russell. Immanuel is that ten going to you, to Raymond, or do you want to put it in the middle as the common card? |

Yes tens can be "iffy"... Next card for you to decide upon is...  A 3. Are you keeping that one or making that the common card Immanuel? |

Post by babytims on Feb 2, 2023 18:05:36 GMT -5

I think I would have done that too Immanuel. Let's see how your strategy unfolds, as the common card for this hand is...  Oh my! A big old Queen! Immanuel, that gives you a very nice split to work with, while at the same time, giving Raymond a very narrow split to work with. On we go for the next toss up to determine who will win control over the fate of the final card. We need a word starting with S to connect...  AIR and CHAIN  Immanuel, you are in first once again. You have until 6:20pm EST on Saturday, February 4th to post your answer. |
