This is an article we had been holding for a while, things kept coming up and bumping it down the queue. What did you think, did you enjoy the discussion? Agree with the choices? Should we have done more hands?

Great show guys. I agree with all the assessments. Hopefully this will help answer the questions of mulliganing.

Ooh, the mulligan.  Good stuff.  I definitely agree that it's a very un-practiced skill that requires you to really know the deck.  The choices seemed very straight forward...the Jitte argument was good because it's an evaluation that can sometimes be overlooked (is this 1-of meant to be in my opening hand? etc).

More sample hands (as well as mulligan jokes) would have been nice, though but overall another great episode.

Maybe a knock at the French would be in order here...you know since its Paris Mulliganing. I love me some Freedom Fries. joker

I considered French jokes as well as Paris Hilton jokes but the golf one came up on the fly as Lee played his straight man role.

Dah! one of my pet peeves.  "Imperious Prefect" ... it's Imperious Perfect.  That's up there with Incandescent SoulSTROKE.  It's Soulstoke! /nerd rage grammar nazi

Not a bad show.  SHoulda kept the card graphics up longer, I was unfamiliar with a couple cards.
