Soupy, an example of what is meant by a kicker would be in DDB, 4 Aces by themselves pay 800, with a 2, 3, or 4 they pay 2000. The 2, 3 and 4 are called a kicker in VP jargon.  Hence 4AWAK.

soupy,
Faygo is correct.

Here is one from this weekend. A kicker is when you have to enter how much you have in G-statements on your income tax after a good year because it raises your taxable income and you realize you may have to pay extra. Then another kicker comes when you enter your gambling loses and it shows you lost more than all of the G-statements. LOL or crying or both!

I've seen both sides of that and I gotta say I like the first option better. I play $2 DDB at max and 98.6% is the best around these parts so for as much as I played it could have been worse. It won't happen again this year though.

Looks like that foot is pretty much buried to the max.

Isn't this taking turf toe a bit too far?

Thanks Faygo.  I didn't think it was in JOB, but I'll look for it in DDB.

Faygo,
Nice picture - almost exactly how I felt this weekend doing income tax!
Where did it all (G-wins) go?
