As I haven't been posting all my AA hands, then this shouldn't be included in the sample. I just thought it was worth sharing. Bear in mind this is a 10 seat double or nothing table (i.e. top 5 in the money and all get paid the same). over the last few hands dengodetc had been raising pre-flop when ...

Whats the furthest anyone has got on that boat mini game, i cant seem to get past 78 meters I got to 190 odd last night (very much a one off). Once you go past about 130/140 it seems to stop putting obstacles out (thanks to whoever it was who posted the 'one finger' tip on this). I think a good ide...

"You Have Won ....."

Don't think I have seen this one discussed anywhere on here yet.

It would be most unlike me to get to play anything before anyone else.

Has anyone else seen it? You start off with a prize of £50 so it only goes downhill from there. Only managed one game so can't really report too much.

I am sure you will all be much relieved to hear that I have sorted out my issues with the motorcycle game and can now get further than 110m. However, I was just wondering what range of prizes people had got on the suitcase bonus. I had previously thought it was a guaranteed £4 or £5, but tonight I e...

Can someone please explain to me how the motorcycle game works on this?

Maybe I'm being particularly thick, but I just don't get it.

charley boorman's game looks very playable, not least with the next game bonus wheeze (which i have no doubt will encourage replayability from even the thickest local). I think I'm a reasonably intelligent sort of person and pretty impervious to gimmicks such as this, but it suckered me into replay...

Courtesy of MOTD, apparently Avshat Masel has never played for Barnet (along with Didier Dowell). Made me chuckle anyway.

Also, neither Matt Vinyl nor Cardinal Sin were in the Czech squad for Euro 2008.

I really must up my post rate, otherwise I will never feature in a question.

Can we get back on topic and discuss the bug in the endgame of Track and Field? Surely someone has made it to the gold medal level (e.g. someone who owns their own Paragon and has played over 500 games) - anyone? I did make it to the Gold Medal level once early on after a very kind set of 'random' ...

I was going to declare "Spend it Like....?" as the game that has taken most money from me without giving up a bean, but I think I might have won a pound once, or at least got close (i.e. one question away). Then Nil mentions the snakes and ladders bananas game and I think it wins hands dow...

I've only played a handful of games; targets have always been between 22500 and 29000. I've tended to take the first reasonable prize offered for the reason QM has raised (i.e. I usually have somewhere to be by Tuesday week, so really don't want to play another game). Has anyone reached the gold med...
