    I've lost count of the number of times I've been in a showdown and miraculously pulled out a great hand on the fourth card only to have someone else even more miraculously pull out the winning hand on the fifth card.

    I swear this game pulls this shit on purpose.

    Man, I pulled some miracle hands out of my ass on the fifth card, praying for a 7 or a 10 or something to make a straight. AND BY GUM I DID.

    I have almost gotten the Dangeresque shades twice now.

    Strong Bad puts on his A-game when those cool shades are on the line. That, or I suck at Texas Hold 'em.

    I do if they're easy to get and/or worthwhile. It adds replay value.



    Also, TDOT, you might want to import this.

    So many times I've had 4/5 cards needed for a straight. So many missed chances at the Heavy's gun.

    I only wish it was a re-skin of Natascha instead of Sascha. or that you're given the option, upon having it appear in you inventory in tf2, to transform a Natascha that you already have into that re-skin with the same stats.

    That would be the best thing.

    Each character has a noticable style.

    Max is extremely agressive, for instance. I find The Heavy is quite passive.

    none of that, I'm afraid anjin.

    you're dealt two cards, people round the table either call or raise until a full round has gone by of no-one raising. then three cards get dealt to the table, more calls and raises, until 2 more cards are revealed or everyone but one has folded.

    Tycho only bets when he's got something decent
    Strong Bad tends to bluff a bunch

    those are the only ones I can easily spot.

    Wow this game is way more fun than I expected it to be. Good job Telltale.

    Got the Dangeresque Too glasses, and god damn it I would've preferred the Dangeresque One glasses.

    Also I wish Gabe was in the game and had the cardboard tube as an unlock for the Demoman.

    Do items that appear on the table go to the winner (i.e., so you can still get them by defeating everyone at the table) or do they vanish until next time?

    Either way I seem regularly incapable of winning tournaments when there's items at stake

    Nope you gotta knock out the item's owner yourself.

    Also re: losing hands winning, that happens when there's a side-pot. If the best hand isn't involved in the largest pot, Winslow will only announce the winner of the last side-pot. But the actual best hand will still win the pot they were in for.
