Good luck and good skills,
Okay, we're back to
Party for this week. From wildly different 10+1 NL SnGs a couple weeks ago, these two hands are similar in that they involved more than simply playing the cards. Alas, I don't remember any more than that to help you out. Hey, no one said these things would be easy! A hint, though: keep in mind the number of players and the size of the stacks. They were also 4 a.m. games... on a school night.
Be the first to guess either one correctly and get $20. Be the first to guess
both correctly and get $100.
