    ME TOO. nothing more frustrating in this game. well okay maybe there are some things. but that's definitely annoying to lose all control for any time at all, especially when playing at a high level. It usually helps to clean off my case screen and then wash my hands. maybe go outside for a few minutes to cool my hands off.

    draw/tie is really not that good - it's like a loss but for both, chips get halved and noone gets the pot. bummer!

    I was faced with an opponent who was rank 2. I saw that he was planning to ping-pong, so I decided: "I'll join him with that", and at the same time, I was wondering why he was ping-ponging, since he was Rank 2. Well, I found out about 10 minutes before the Showdown ended. He took over all tracks with 0 faults and O.K. times. I managed to beat him in all 3 tracks within a few minutes. He didn't dp anything afterwards. I won the pot with about 47k, 7 gems and a paintjob for the Bronco.

    well done, but unless there is an agreement in place, one would usually not try and ping-pong in the final hour of the showdown.
    in all of my spontaneous cases of ping-pong (w/o agreements in place post or prior to showdown start) the ping-pong itself ended well before the last hour - usually 4-6 hours before the end

    Right, I figured. I was actually planning to do the same thing soon enough. I was pretty glad with the pot I won, immediately spent it on bike upgrades.

    This was one of the closest wins I've had, and against an opponent that made me think- aw f*** not this guy, bye bye streak. I need more people near my rank! Also, been saving up my gems for a while for a photo like this

    This thread could be really fun for those of you participating in Blitz Season 3. I really like the, "wow! that was a close call mentality!" that's described here.

    So I added this to: Guides and Useful Topics for Trials Frontier

    I'd love to see more of people's "close calls". Keep up the good runs everyone!
