Subject: Never won winnables!

Nice work Ellie2!

Absolutely! And I'm rofl 😆 no 'splainin' needed ✌🏽

Ditto. The idea that TT would have two of his nicks giving each other encouragement is hilarious. 

Gosh, first Ellie2, and now me.  This must be our day😆!

......and a very bad day for anyone else who plays this game in the future 🥺.

... and yet ....

You know who and his alternate egos...

To say you missed the point would be quite the understatement. Considering your frequent involvement in these discussions, I must assume it’s intentional. 

Never won winnables!

Why does this thread (occasionally) comprise submissions about winnables being won?

Have you read the first page or two of this thread?  That *may* help.  Some interesting reading.....

I have now; the 'challenge' aspect seems to have been hijacked by a 'look what I've won' approach - there's no 'I' in rec*proc*ty it seems...

Ah, so you noticed.  And..........without anyone tabulating the ballots..................I suspect we could guess who's had the most posts in this thread.   A cynic(?) might even suggest that was part of his initial purpose, especially considering the large number of similar(-ish) threads he's started down thru the years.  Some people just like to 'win' - whatever that may mean to them.

LOL!! You just bent the needle on my Banter Meter. Now I need a new one. (It's gonna be a minute before a I can replace it. I spent all my liquid assets paying off GoAdoptADog's pyschiatrist.) 

I think GAAD's psychiatrist will be using those resources to recruit his/her own shrink  (for wrapping the rap, so to speak).
GAAD preserve us ( :>}

Gotta go - my homophone's alarm has just gone off; should've kept it in the fridge.

My favorite for a while now is custom 10x1 level 12. Most haven't been played. I feel like this was a really hard one. Does anybody want to try it and see?

Thank you, Day! So I'm thinking it really was hard, now. But confidentially, playing level 12 10x1 is not any harder than a lower level. And it's less tainted with those 75/0 games that the dealer is fond of dealing. 

Maybe not, but I've become quite proficient at losing level 5s in all flavours, so maybe it would be more relevant to say that for me, losing level 12s is no harder - ergo, I got lucky. All down to the second hand card dealer.

It's fun practicing. Winning isn't everything, or anything really. My mindset is different, maybe. My motto has always been to stop when it ceases to be fun. 

Please also consider the 10x1 level 11s. They're currently rated higher than the level 12s, which probably means they've been overlooked and could use some play.

Gracias ElGuapo 😎

I've played this one twice, and it's never been won. I think it's winnable. Anyone care to give it a go?

Game: 10x1 17767-11

Game stats: 13/0/0%

Haven't tried it, but it's winnable due to its elo value.

Very,very,very, very.........eleven times tough but of course winnable and won. 

That's good enough for me.  Hello, climate 12!

Game:6x6 14154-7

...first of 13, took me three tries...

7x4 15268-8

first of six...

        Game: 5x7 8237-5;

Game: 10x0 21859-5;....  Game stats: 26/1/3.8%/2157;....  Player Elo: 2330.461 ▲ 2.199.

Game:7x4 650-9

These 2 fellas greeted me with fury during a tourney. I got ocd abt them because I kept thinking I had a solve, only to bomb and restart. Spent a good while on both, especially one I played several times. If any of y’all want to try maybe you can solve faster. Idk my time because it was tourney and multiple attempts, but a headache for sure :

1.

2.

Those are brutal cards to be dealt during a tournament. Nice solving!

Thanks Buzz. It wasn’t a deadly tournament and I know I should move on and save the tough guys for last instead of running down the clock playing them repeatedly, especially if I’m doing well..but too often if there’s one that seems like I could solve, I can’t help myself. I must’ve wasted 15 mins or prob much more on that first one.

12x0 11002-8 1/1 took me over an hour, hardest 12x0 I've ever played, maybe I opened wrong, take a look and see what you think.

I played it straight forward, I mean without checking if there is a trick (opening the first column is very easy)

Thanks sebcbien2, I've been sick for over a week or I'm a lot dumber than I thought.

11x0 20830-10 1/3 and 6 11x0-10's in a row. I'm recovering or I'm not as dumb as I thought I was.

I didn't expect it

Uh, just sayin'........but maybe this should be moved up a bit from climate 5:

11x0 6849-5 37/1/2.7% 27:21 One of those games that looks like there's something there, just takes forever to find it.
