Instant Tragedy

January 6, 2009 at 1:25 am

The challenge is on…

Team Schaubs vs. Team Tragedy

In a mano y mano battle to the end.

Take two bitter captains, one bitter because wawfuls hasn’t paid him yet, one who lost a bet to Tragedy cause he believed in Mookie and Hoy…

Have them pick 5 horses…

and let the bet begin.

Most COMBINED money by each team in the year 2009 in the MOOKIE ALONE!

Schaubs won the toss and elected to take the Mookie 2008 cash leader LJ as his first pick, I then took Wawfuls and Bayne_S.  He countered my donk/points whore combo by picking Two Black Aces and Pirate Lawyer.  Saddened by the inability to pick PL, I countered with Numbblowme and Astin.  Schaubs countered with Lucko and Heffmike.  I then threw down the gavel by picking the coolest cat of them all, Miami Don.

As alternates I picked up Columbo and Schaubs picked up Surflexus.  Now normally Surf would be an easy pick.  But I had the inside track knowing that the MOOKIE MAN would be working on WSOP circuit events with his wife Peaches and that his time in the virtual felt would be limited.

So the chips are down.  Who will win?
