Cliff “Runner Runner Chaser” McDougal here and its time for the mid season recap. This year has had more ups and downs then a Stormey Daniels Donald Trump sex tape. It’s had more bad calls than the Ontario PC trying to pick a candidate.  You have a better chance of determining someone’s gender then deciding if you should fold those pockets 4’s preflop.

Over the last few tourneys I have been able to come to a few conclusions.

1. Don’t use logic of rules with Danny and then watch him lose it, basically he just chip dumps and kills the vibe of the table.

2. When the table knows Palorune has a flush, don’t go all in first hand with Jacks.

3. Mike’s mix tape should be dropping spring 2018 with the first song Straight Out of Card Luck looking to be a number 1 single

Lets take a look on how people are doing so far

Jay is in the lead and has done this by not caring about the cards or the people at the table. Basically, its like his hockey career, does it all by himself and yells at people that don’t agree with his playing style

Darryl is in second but many are wondering if his iPad is really playing Dungeon or Dragons or if its Sims. We believe its sims and his character is someone who can win at poker. So far he’s been living that Sims life

Kyle is still in contention but has had a few tough tourneys the past two weeks. All the Vicodin that he’s taking to relieve the back-pain form carrying Denley must be getting to him.

Bobby is just a few bluffs and straight catches to catapult himself into first. Seeing that would have to be a big ass catapult, we believe he will start going back to his old ways and hanging out in the loser lounge

Bryan pulled off a huge win this season and its caused some people to talk about him for once. Well they always have talked about him but that’s wasn’t because he was good at poker. Many believe his Weinstein approach to poker will only work for a bit until people stand up to him and take him for what he’s worth

Darren has been blinding out his way to be in contention this year. Maybe he can figure on how to close a door one day as well

Dan L has changed his playing style this year. He can no longer bully people with his playing style. Push them off a chair is another playing style all together though and its seems to of helped

Smallers has tried to change his game to bad bluffs and dumb calls, hasn’t worked out that well for the defending champ.

Mitchel game play is like comparing your child spilling soap to an iPad going into a bath tub. It doesn’t make sense and he usually leaves his chair for it

Jeff t has not seemed to find his play this year…. well he’s found it, but so has everyone else. The man has made more bad calls then using your moms credit card for 976 numbers as a kid.

Phil had a great second place that looked good for him and not the rest of the league. Fortunately, that was his peak and he’s back to being the dealer and that’s good for the players

Chris B has used the Bluff By Calling template that was set so many years ago. Needless to say, its not been a great year

Danny R needs to be at every tourney this year to give himself a chance to compete. Unfortunately, he must work the next tourney and that will hurt him. Many hope this work is him working on his temper tantrums and comes back being the hating the establishment, type writer using, plaid shirt tucking, skinny jeans wearing mofo we all love

Mark playing style has been like this writer’s ability to stay clean. It works well or a bit, but you always end up blowing someone in the parking lot of a 711 for a dime bag

Mike l has been trying everything this year… he’s had rye, he hasn’t had rye, he’s dressed up like slim shady… nothing seems to work. Maybe he should try playing poker

Denley playing ability is only surpassed by his ability to yell at people for playing correctly. Its been an average season for him but there is talk about dedicating the loser lounge to him. As its doesn’t seem like the chance to have his name on the cup is happening anytime soon, might as well put it somewhere

Pete is having a bad season so far. Well we can’t confirm if its bad or not… as he has actually been showing up this time

Jeff F seems to be committed to making sure that his quickest out legacy stays in tact. I’m sure if we spoke to his wife or ex’s they would already confirm this for him

Gaige is playing like Gaige… nuff said

Its been a while since I opened my mail. One reason is because I’ve been busy, the other reason is because its hard to read letters that are used burn the evidence. But let’s check this one out

Dear Runner Runner

First and foremost, I’m a huge fan, you really been an inspiration to my 12 steps of recovery. I wanted to know something. What are your thoughts on the economical crisis going on in the world and how this relates to North America?

Yours Truly,

Dear Big Wall Builder

Thank you for asking, it seems over the past few season this has been a hot topic in this tourney. But here is the problem, people do not leave their homes,  drive 30 to 40 mins sit in a room with booze, friends and cards to discuss this shit. As my mother always used to say to me, political conversations are like dead hookers. No one cares about them as they were already dead inside and should be dumped quickly.

Hope this helps you little bus riding, ear biting, hockey helmet wearing son of a bitch

Much love

Runner Runner
