Sticking with the same number that Kourtney chose. And you certainly may do so. Did that beat a Jack?  Oh no! And what's worse, it's the 2! So no bonus draws will be had this game.  Kourtney, you have kept control of the cards once again. Only 4 cards will win for you, but only 3 will for Shederick. I'll remind you too Kourtney you do have that insurance marker. All that said, do you wish to keep the card or try to bust Shederick by passing it? |

Let's see if the passing strategy works this time for you Kourtney. Shederick your card is...  A Jack! That's a bust, Kourtney wins the hand and $150! (Will try to update tomorrow morning) |

www.dougmorris.net/chain/sfxding.mp3 One hand apiece. And as such, this means the Blitz Jackpot cannot be won for this game. At the start of game 2, it will grow to $300. Also a reminder, we have a new way to play our HALF & HALF mini bonus game. The winner of this first game of the match will have a shot at playing that game for a chance to win up to $2,000 in bonus cash. Right now let me stop my randomizer here... Oh boy! A $75 toss up puzzle and this hand is worth $250! Maximum values for both! This time I need a 5 letter word starting with Q. Yes "Q". A word that connects the split  BE with RIOT... tpirepguide.com/qwizx/gssfx/usa/be-buzzer.wav And Shederick is in first this time. You will have until 5am EST, or 0500 military time on Saturday, May 20th to post your answer Shederick.

Quiet is right! $75 more to you, up to $250, and let's see the first card of this next hand.  There's a 4 Shederick. Are you keeping that, passing it down to Kourtney, or putting it as the common card? |

(some gasps in the audience) PASSING the 4? Hmm, that's a pretty good card, but we'll see how it plays out. Next card is...  A deuce! I'll be interested to see how you play this card Shederick. You placing that in the center or are you keeping that one for yourself? |

Now another tight squeeze, this time for Kourtney. Shederick, here is your card for this hand, it is...  An 8. So only a 2, 3 or 4 will win for Kourtney, and for you Shederick, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 or 8. Time for another High Card toss up...  Shederick, please select any 2 of the remaining numbers and in the order you want them revealed. If your first selection is either a King or a 3, you'll win control instantly. |

Post by billmcdee on May 20, 2023 5:04:36 GMT -5
Number 6, a.k.a. a 9 sitting down has...  A five. 6 cards will better that, 2 won't. Shederick, do you wish to keep that 5 or refuse it and give it to Kourtney and keep #9 instead? |

Post by djshadowwolf420 on May 20, 2023 6:09:38 GMT -5
Pass the 5

Post by billmcdee on May 20, 2023 14:22:13 GMT -5
Keeping card #9 for yourself then. Shederick number 9 is...  Well what do you know, a NINE! You keep control of the cards.  Shederick, you have a 7 card split, Kourtney only has a 3 card split, but he does have that insurance marker remember too. Do you wish to keep the card yourself to try to fit your 2 to 8 split, or pass to Kourtney and hope that the next 2 cards won't be a fit? |

Comes as no surprise to me. If this card is not a fit, Kourtney will lose his insurance marker, and must take the next card. Does he lose the marker?  I'm afraid so Kourtney, that 5 would bust you. Did Kourtney also lose this hand?  Yes, and Shederick takes the hand and the lead! www.dougmorris.net/chain/sfxding.mp3 So passing that 4 worked out to be very good strategy after all! You never can tell with these cards! Time for another puzzle. Let me hit my randomizer and we see... $75 puzzle and a $225 hand this time! Shederick, if you win this next hand, it will be $450 as the winning hand always pays double. And in honor of this post on Armed Forces Day, first and foremost, my expression of deepest gratitude to Shederick and to all of the brave men and women who so proudly serve in our Armed Forces. Thank you! Also in honor of today, this puzzle... A 6 letter word starting with O, to connect the split words... NAVAL with CRUSH  tpirepguide.com/qwizx/gssfx/usa/be-buzzer.wav Kourtney, you are in first and will have until 6:35pm EST on Monday, May 22nd to post your answer. |

Orange you glad you didn't say BANANA? Right for $75 and control. First card:  A 7. Kourtney is it yours, or are you passing it, or placing it in the center as the common card? |

(Chuckling) Sorry, wrong show I'm afraid. Another tight squeeze for Shederick, just a 7 to a 9. And your card Kourtney is...  (Gasps) WOW! Very same 7 to a 9! Control of the deck is very important as always. High Card tossup time...  Just 7 cards left Kourtney. If your first number is either a King or a 3, you'll automatically win control. Please select any two of the remaining numbers in the order you wish them to be revealed. |

Let’s go with 4 and 12.

Post by billmcdee on May 22, 2023 4:43:58 GMT -5
Behind 4 we have...  A six. If you keep it, 4 of the cards will beat it, 2 won't. Kourtney, do you wish to keep the 6 or give it to Shederick and see if card 12 will beat it? |

Post by pathfinder20 on May 22, 2023 5:06:37 GMT -5
I will pass it.

Very well, we'll turn that 6 blue for Shederick. Let's reveal card 12 now for Kourtney, did he beat a 6?  O NO! It's ONLY a 4! So Shederick has wrestled control away from Kourtney!  Shederick, you and Kourtney are both in the same boat. Only another 7, an 8 or another 9 will win the hand for either one of you. Are you keeping the next card, or do you wish to pass to try to bust Kourtney and win this first game of the match? |

So many tight squeezes throughout this first game. Kourtney, if this next card is anything other than another 7, an 8 or another 9, Shederick will take game #1, win a total of $950 and play our new HALF & HALF mini bonus game for $1,500. The card you're receiving Kourtney is...  A Jack! No fit for the split, Shederick takes game number 1! (win cue & applause) www.dougmorris.net/chain/sfxding.mp3 And now Shederick, a chance to play our re-re-revised HALF & HALF mini bonus game. We've streamlined it a tad.  For starters, we now determine what the jackpot amount will be for this game depending upon how well our players do in the front game. If a player wins 3 hands to 0, the HALF & HALF game is worth $2,000. If a player wins 3 hands to 1, then it's $1,500, as is the case today. And if a player needs all 5 hands to win, then we will play this mini bonus for $1,000. Hidden behind 2 of the 3 numbers are two halves of a dollar sign. Hidden behind one is a sad face. I'll ask you to select one of the numbers. If you reveal either half of the dollar sign, you'll have a decision to make. If your first pick is a sad face, then lunch is on me today gang! Shederick, do you want 1, 2 or 3? |
