I just beat Samantha out of $2.

I received a Samantha offer the other day which was barely enough to get me to accept, but I was going to be in the area anyway so I responded back with an acceptance, but told "her" that I could only do it Monday. I didn't hear anything back, so when it went to MAO the next day, I submitted a MAO $2 higher than the Samantha offer and also selected Monday as the due date. It was accepted within the half hour. Small victories. I take them whenever I can.

Wow, congrats! My MAOs were always rejected. I had the best luck with Samantha.

My issue with Sam is that I can respond to an offer with yes and it can still hang out there for a long time. I generally don't go overboard with my MAO offers, so about 60% get accepted. If I respond with a very high offer, I generally expect it to be declined and don't care when it is.
The day that I get excited by $2.00 is the day that I leave the industry.

Sam has always underballed me. If this is a shop I am interested in doing, I just reply to the Sam message with an offer. Its either excepted (generally) or not.

So you send a MAO to Sam? And someone/something responds to it?

Every e-mail response to Sam is read by a person. If an offer contained in an e-mail to Sam is accepted by MF, then one receives and assignment notification just as would an offer e-mailed to Helpdesk result in an assignment if MF accepts it.
