Beating them has nothing to do with how we line-up or how good we play. It is about how they line-up and how good they play...for multiple reasons. Last time we won I was playing, and tbh I wish I could say that we played great. Not even close. They just gave and gave and gave, Phil and I was at the right place at the right time and did not reject what they gave, by simply being at the table at the right time.
Putting pressure on BBF team as if winning is priority will make negative effect on players imo. We will win now and then but this won't be due to who we seated or how we played, trust me.
Our goal was to make BBF more popular and discuss the hands, play with each other, with whom we reply/comment back and forth daily, against a good team. For example, I wish Justin, Andy, Mike, Frances etc etc played 4-5 times vs JEC with their card saying " I regularly write in BBF, join us!" Not so that we win vs JEC, although that would not hurt. I mean Justin's name is great for advertising, as well as others I listed. And we would have much better topics to enjoy from these matches. My concern is that we are not getting any of these (new members joining due to JEC matches/topics that are adv+ level) at least not as much as I thought it would produce, when we started this.
"It's only when a mosquito lands on your testicles that you realize there is always a way to solve problems without using violence!"
"Well to be perfectly honest, in my humble opinion, of course without offending anyone who thinks differently from my point of view, but also by looking into this matter in a different perspective and without being condemning of one's view's and by trying to make it objectified, and by considering each and every one's valid opinion, I honestly believe that I completely forgot what I was going to say."

Not trying to put any pressure there, sorry. But then again I'm very competitive, I play to win, I'm not happy with "nice experience, thanks all". Sorry if my post came across the wrong way, it was simply meant as "If someone better is available, by all means, please join - I'm happy to let them play instead"

suokko + derric
cherdano + mgoetze
If a regular partnership wants to apply, cherdano & mgoetze will let them play instead.
I'll announce we have a team in any case
