Hi Ed, ... If I remember, the loser was a 10. I don't remember the score. That said, I'll almost always play this alone. The only real way my P can help is...
That's fine. I wasn't saying you can't go alone just that I was saying I wouldn't of in most cases. Not saying that I wouldn't ever go alone with that...
