Hello there poker fans, this is your favorite poker reporter Cliff “Runner Runner Chaser” McDougal and it’s been a long time since I have written. Not as long as it has been since I’ve had a woman touch me without me paying for it and her crying while doing it… but long enough

I am not sure what to call this season, is it the season of “who in the hell is in first place” or “wow still Phil can’t win a tourney” or “who can mike talk too about poker??”… Either way it’s been a fucked up season

Let’s me explain why

1. Denely is only 16 points away from tying his season total from last year
2. Mark is in 2^nd place and 6 points to match his season total from last year
3. Jay P is the only one that was in the mix last year
4. Mike l has 19 points so far, he had 20 after 2 tourneys last season
5. Darryl is playing consistent, but the one game missed seems to have hurt him…
6. Jeff T is still playing lights out, but its usually when he’s lights out as well
7. No one has idea what Darren is doing and we are sure he doesn’t either
8. Bobby is back to raising with nothing and trying to bluff against pocket aces.
9. Jeff F is on pace to capture the title of average minutes in a tourney season… no way that fails
10. Phil is still the best dealer of all time and people should recognise the skills
11. Chris B is playing well and has quietly moved up the leader board
12. Chris L took the break a leg literally during hockey and no one is saying that at poker
13. Smallers playing like old Smallers again… unfortunately he’s also setting up the laptop like old Smallers as well
14. Bryan has been too focused on building a wall that he forgets what hands beat what
15. Danny is on pace to finish dead last this season, which he did last year until he was bullshit lucky in a couple tourney
16. Gaige is still trying to figure out his way in the game… usually the way is to the loser lounge early
17. Kevin has offered to drive Gaige there as tax driver is back in full effect
18. We are not sure what Adam is doing besides bailing at the last minute and saying he didn’t know
19. Kyle is looking to build on last season momentum to try for a 3^rd championship… but many poker experts have wondered if his time has passed and living on past glory. Well they wonder but no one will say as they know if they do, he will catch bullshit cards.

Let’s go to one of the many emails I get over the months

“Hi There Runner Runner… I don’t want to say my name but in the past I have been super shit and this year I’m super awesome… how do I keep this going?” Signed Sorry I touched the cup

Hi “Sorry I touched the cup” Great to see that you are doing well… and I’m sure you have been pleasant about it to others. No way you would yell at a younger player (who may or may not be related too you) about calls unless they are against you. I think you just keep doing what you are doing, forgetting how to deal, forgetting whose turn it is and most importantly… catch cards like a John catching a STD from a hooker in Wainfleet… You never know what you are going to get, but you know you got something good. Regards, Runner Runner

Good luck to all of those playing this week and can’t wait to see who bails last minute
