Post the games you think were the easiest six-figure wins.

1. Kathleen
At 5-box, she had a low blue, 20k, 50k, 100k, and 250k with an offer of 45k. To me, that's an instant ND unless you are the worst of targetists (Apparently, Kathleen was. :lol: ) She left the dream final 2 at the end with a derisory offer of 145k (How could you deal that????) It was an easy 100k win.

2. Anne
At 5-box, she had blues, 10k or 15k (can't remember), 75k and 100k. Her offer was 16.5k (easy ND). She had a final 2 of the big two with an offer of 86.5k and easy sailing to 100k.

There are plenty more, but those are my main two. Plus, I don't want to give them all away. Post some of your easiest six-figure wins.

You're bang on with those two.

Gaz is a possibility, five-box was the only dealable offer. Kelsie, the only difficult decision was at eight-box and even then most would have gone on - the final offer was a case of whether you cared or not about going down to £75k, but of course only swapping would have denied a six-figure win either way.

£100k Gaz's, Anne's and Kelsie's are probably my top 3 easiest six-figure wins. I wasn't sure about Kathleen's at the time and I'm still unsure. :? Yes the offer was fairly low for the board, but I'd find it very hard to turn down £45,000 with the potential of winning a blue. I think if the £75k had been there instead of £50k, I'd have been more inclined to no deal...

£100k Betty is also another easy one, as the final offer was just below the psychological barrier of £20k (at £19,500) and it was a poor offer... with a 50:50 chance of winning £100k, I think a lot would've no dealt. Same goes for Ajay too, who had a similar final 2 and final offer.

Also Lance's was probably one of the easiest for the strong targetists such as Brunhilde - I'm sure she'd have won £100k in his game. Same goes for Laura (1)'s game actually.

I was going to mention woodsy but H covered that first - less than 25K odd and I'm definitely NDing on blue vs 100K finishes.

Yes Woodsy was the other one I could've mentioned. At the time, I think I said I'd deal Woodsy's and Ajay's final offers, but nowadays I'd no deal them, as I said I'd do in Betty's game.

I think the cautious phase we've had on DOND combined with relentless targetism over the past few months has made me more analytical. Although not totally analytical, as I quite likely would've dealt Kathleen's fifth offer...

Helen W's was pretty easy as well with Mikey's final five.

Possibly Morris and 10K stevie even.

Morris is a good one, yes; certainly I think most people should have got to his £101k final offer. I know I would! Whether you take it or not is another matter of course.

For the swappy people like me, Welsh David was a laughably easy £100k win.

Another one is £7.5k 3rd offer deal Sarah - who had a proveout offer of £17,500 on a 1p vs £100k final 2. I think a lot of people would've won £100k in that game.

that's interesting - at the time I said I'd deal the 7.501K and definitely ND the 17.5K but nowadays I'd definitely go for it at 5 box as well as 2 box.

Yes I think I said at the time I'd deal no deal her 3rd, 4th and 5th offers but deal the final offer. Nowadays, that final offer would be a fairly easy no deal for me.

As I said somewhere else, I think I've become more of an analytical player than this time a year ago. My financial situation (although I can't talk for the national financial situation! :P) hasn't changed so I don't view money any differently though.

I wouldn't call Betty's the easiest 6-figure win to be honest.

I think Harvey's game is another one where a lot of people would've won six-figures. The only tough decision in his game really was the £40,000 final offer.

I wouldn't either. I think it took a lot of guts to turn down the £19,500, even though the offer was a bit mean. I think I'd have dealt it, as I wouldn't have wanted to have won a tenner.

Only just seen this thread, so I'll post the games where I'd have easily got to 6-figures.

Kathleen - Not only the easiest 6-figure win ever for me but the easiest QM win ever.

Mikey - £40,000 would have made me think for a while but I'm almost certain I'd have swapped to £100,000 at the end.

Morris - I don't think I could have declined the £101,000, and even then, I'd have swapped to the £250,000.

Kirsty (1) - Another pretty easy £250,000 win, but I may have hesitated at £51,000.

£30k Helen

Maria (2) - Only £9,550 would have been a problem and I hate box 6, so I'd have swapped that to £100,000.

Kelsie - I'd have dealt the last offer.

Swappy Barbara - £22,000 may have been taken but I'd have probably no dealt.

David - That would have been a swap at the end...

David J - Ditto...but box 10 in the final two would have made me a lot happier to swap.

Games where I'd have gone to the end but swapped away a six-figure amount would have been Anne, £7,500 Sarah, Ajay (although I may have dealt £19,500), Woodsy (but I may have dealt £18,000) and Jo Jo.

I have no idea what I'd have done at £8,200 in Gaz (1)'s game, but if I'd have gone on I'd have won £100,000.

Other possible 6-figure wins are Gaz (3) Zahida, Theresa, Betty and Tracy, but they're only small possibilities.

It's easy for quite a lot of people but I'd have definitely dealt £19,999 but even if I'd no dealt that I'd have swapped it away! :oops:
