Likewise I'm not intending in following in the footsteps of that other eminent mathematician Galois. Besides I'm a bit older than he was and hopefully better at ducking at the required moment given all the practice I've had. 

Évariste Galois (French: [evaʁist ɡaˈlwa]; 25 October 1811 – 31 May 1832) was a French mathematician born in Bourg-la-Reine. While still in his teens, he was able to determine a necessary and sufficient condition for a polynomial to be solvable by radicals, thereby solving a problem standing for 350 years. His work laid the foundations for Galois theory and group theory, two major branches of abstract algebra, and the subfield of Galois connections. He died at age 20 from wounds suffered in a duel.

Are you also an eminent mathematician Gelders?

As you were left in the bowl at the end, at the moment I paused (6 left) you would have been able to experience the same levels of interest as I... Perhaps next time

Good luck all.

Why let the facts get in the way of a good story eh Mike? 

You even managed to call out my excitement fallacy because as you rightly say I had as much as you plus more. But for an ego as big as mine it's never enough.

Q 8 = new nuts ;-)

Was good fun, answered the phone then loaded your 3rd table, but it had literally just finished, didn't even see the hand....

StayOrGo 2 MAXALLY 0

Score doesn't really tell the story, epic match. I had MAXALLY down to fumes in the first, only for him to fight back and leave me with just 300 chips. Somehow I managed to recover and win the opener and then just prevailed in a cagey, cat and mouse 2nd game.

Played in great spirit. Thanks Alan for a cracking match!
 
Cheers,

Graham

You are clearly the man in form.

Seriously, when we've been on the same table, I've noticed massive improvement in your game. Well done mate!

Cheers Graham. GL in the next round. FTR, he gave me a lesson in poker and that is why he is one of the best on here. Respect Sir.

OP Results table has been updated.

Well done to everyone who has already played and congratulations to the trailblazers already in Round 3.

In case you miss it in the OP I have also set a deadline of Sunday 8th November for completion of this round.

That happens to be the weekend of the "first round proper" of the real FA Cup.

Thanks, it was a good game.

When i lost the first, I was pleased to win the second to avoid the whitewash. 

In the decider the chips went back and forth like a yoyo!

Good game!

Phantom66

I spotted wynne having a practice match so indulged in a scouting mission and arranged the fixture.

Wyne1938 0 Phantom66 2

Epic 1st game with Phantom getting a teritorial advantage but not able to finish it off until an AQ flip win v 22.

2nd game relied on JJ v 99 to recover from an early set back and then 55 did the job v A6.

OP up to date.

It seems that there are a lot of away wins in Round 2.

Home advantage seemed to count for something in Round 1 (16:11) but it seems to be the away teams have it so far in Round 2. Think carefully about the choice home players. What suits you best? What suits your opponent least?

Only gerardirl, tsarina and RicOrford have made home advantage count (3:8) so far.

ajmilton (the champ)-- 0    GGGGCCCC-- 2

Could of gone either way, excellent match 

first game was epic 

Really enjoyed both games , very well Played GGGGCCCC

and GL in the next round

Stupid 2-card game anyway.

Thanks to phantom66 for organising this HU comp 

I hope it all runs smoothly for you, cheers
