Okay, since NO ONE ELSE will start the freaking thread, here you go.
I’ll link to the last thread here , but I’m not linking every dang thread back to when Ast was still a poor single mope and we filled two tables.
For you clueless - poker every Thursday night, 9pm CST, and most of us go through Crazy Poker. Buy in has been a whole .02c lately.

Sure, new players are welcome. I sent you an PM with the details.
There was a game last night? Oh well. I’m still trying to get my own internet set up so that I can stop leeching off a neighbor’s wi-fi.
Could you throw me a bone too?
Ok…I will do the linking from my soon to be dead thread, although I want thread to carry this storyline.
These are rough times, my friend.
Economic Crisis.
Lay-offs and shut-downs.
An impending changing of the guard.
Oh, and the occasional panhandler looking for some change on the corner of “Poker Ave” and “Buy-In Street”. There you will find the seediest of hookers, the most rigged of rigged blackjack games, beer with expired shelf life, and those who love the game but struggle to keep their existence above the $.02 line. There, you will find our beloved Oslo amid the grit and grime of Poker City with his back against the wall, clinging on to a dime and 2 pennies. 2008 has been a cruel year for our friend, desperately navigating his way through the shadowy world of state-imposed laundering laws, rigged charity tournaments, unprosperous freerolls, and beatdowns he repeatedly endures from the nefarious SDMB poker gang. This is a man screaming loudly on the inside while his nervous eyes on his bloodied face search desperately for a way out. Come join us in the on-going saga of a man’s bare-knuckle fight and survival in the proverbial story of the “Chip and a Chair”. I hear it’s a good read, but even better to be a part of the story…

Suspending the game (Oslo’s 4th quarter poker bailout plan)
New gang members (players) are always welcome for our 1+1 cent game. Our games are every Thursday, 10 pm Eastern, 7pm Pacific. Post here if your interested and we will fill you in on the details. Gang initiation will involve giving Oslo a beat-down by river cards.
Sorry I wasn’t there last night…was working on my son’s house.
Crap, stupid time difference which means I’m still at work when you guys start
I’ll join in next round if I may, and if works leads me to better time zones.
Not at the moment. I live in the wrong time-zone.
I’m still at work (for now). I’ll check in next time.
Next time, I actually read your post. Sorry.
No worries mate.
But save me a sport for next round, will ya
I think the next round will be pretty much the same as this round.
We play every Thursday, 10:00 p.m. Eastern. Every three months, we start a new thread. And there’s a formula to track our performance, based on where we each finish and how many players each week; that resets, too. But the game is always the same.
No need to wait until the next quarter starts; just join in anytime you can make it.
You just might see me joining in February then.
If you go through Crazy Poker they now have this “Buddy” thing. Feel free to invite me as a buddy (I’m there under MissTake, naturally). I’m guessing most of us are okay being buddied. If a person who is on your buddy list is on, CP will usually tell you what table s/he is at. Then feel free to rail / harrass.
Oh, and many apologies to Yeti for not posting the link in the last thread.
Your OP rocks SO much more.
Woo hoo! We got some some new potential players!
In the interests of fairness, most such online poker festivals exclude Texans and Jews. If such is not the case, me too.
