I’ve been a pushover for most of the first half. I’ve let you all think I’m an easy mark in the daily game. I’m not. I think I’ve sufficiently lulled you all into believing that you can easily take me down. That stops today. No more shrinking in the corner. No more dipping just a toe in the water. I’m here to win, to ruin your Friday, and to make sure that your holiday weekend starts out with a thud (shocker I'm single since I'm trying to ruin the biggest family weekend of the summer). Fantasy Aces provides the avenue/opportunity. I will provide the soul crushing defeat you’re looking for.

You want to wipe that smug smile off my face? Give it a shot and take me on today, Friday, July 24th.
