The lucky 2nd place splits to Mike Harrington with 4 natural vote
points, and Millie Morgan with 4*.
Paul Keating is the next dealer, with 6*!
(His vote for his own definition wasn't counted, bee-tee-double-you.)
I learned a lot, on this my second deal!
I should have gone with my first-through-ninth instincts and combined *2* & 17!
I think i made the weaker of the two choices. Dealer may be right,
but still wrong.
I think Mike H may have benefited a little - and had some disadvantage
in about equal measure.
(My dealer stats deserve the "hit", and i think i will combine
definitions in future!)
Thanks, everyone!
