Speculation Drives UP the Price of Poker by 10%!!! SDMB Poker - 3rd Qtr. 2008

Is the Oslo special a charity drive? If so, maybe we could plan it a couple of hours before the regular game. Just so we don’t fuck it up, right Missy?

Yeah. Can you spare a penny, brother? I figured I’d set it up at the same time so’s I could still chat with ya.

And, Missy, if you want to sign up, fine. Just don’t play it, mmmkay?

The alternatives I have found are proving problematic. The one funder that doesn’t exclude the US (Web Money?) requires a text message from a cell phone for step 2 of registering. Alas, I don’t have that technology. Plus, it may be a Russian site, so the only way I would do that is with a prepaid throwaway credit card.

I have a problem trying to get into the Doyle’s Room site. (It was suggested by other MG players that Doyle’s Room had other ways of funding.) I accidentally created another MG account for there months ago, and now I can’t get rid of it. The word “morons” may have actually been used in an email to them. :frowning:

I’m all for it, but if it’s at the same time as the regular game I’ll be logged on and the game would pop up. I’m not sure if it’s easy to bot one game and actively play in another at the same time, I’ve never tried.

I’m thinking that the best way to do this is to enter and bot it against you. If you simply min raise every hand the bots will fold. Then once you get 50 cents or so we can dump money to you the proper way.

Sign up (if you like), but don’t play it. It is a .01/.01 MTT, not a cash game. I’ll just be raising to capture the blinds every hand.

Six players tonight, finished as follows:

  1. Me
  2. ast
  3. Otto
  4. Missy
  5. Kyy
  6. Nook

Nice to have you back, Nook, but you may have been away too long. A sharp group like this, and that little bit of rust is all it takes.

Sorry guys, my 45th was yesterday and I couldn’t turn down Filet Mignon and Cabernet for dinner.

I will make August the “That MF’r Yeti!” month.

Standings:

1 Kyyrewyyoae 72.6
2 Robot Arm 59.5
3 Duke of Rat 57.8
4 Asterion 56.3
5 Miss Take 50.3
6 Oslo Ostragoth 45.9

I promised to post some hands from the “special” game (“special” because I’m “special”.)

That Missy is tough when her back is against the wall.

Harsh, man.

I created another special for Saturday night. If I don’t get 7 players, I’ll try another night.

Equities: 31%, 24% and 45%. Rude, but not as bad as it seemed at the time. Against either one of you alone, I would have been about a 2:1 dog.

I’m in.

OK, that was an epic fail - only 3 players, which would not have helped me at all. (Presumably not enough notice.) So I deleted it just before game time.

I created another special for 2 hours before the usual game time this week.* That way, I can play the special, then watch the regular game and heckle from the rail. Again, if I can’t get at least 7 players signed up, I will probably delete it and try again later.

Brother, can you spare $.02 American to help a guy out?

*Somebody needs to create the regular game.

Boat loads of rivering tonight, folks!

  1. Duck - he no longer has an account here, but we still let him kick our ass. Why?
  2. Dag
  3. Kyy
  4. BBR (Bubble Boy Root)
  5. Some drugged out chick
  6. Ast
  7. Yeti

The poker gods were smiling on Duck, but it was mostly on the turn.

Standings:

1 Kyyrewyyoae 70.8
2 Duke of Rat 66.9
3 Dag Otto 61.0
4 Robot Arm 58.1
5 Asterion 52.2
6 Miss Take 47.9
7 Oslo Ostragoth 45.9

Sure wish I could get back into the game…

Did you get at least something from last night? Do you have enough for the 8/14 game yet?

You should set up daily games for a whole week, starting on 8/15 all the way to Thursday’s 8/21 game…we could sign up for all of them at once when we are playing our 8/14 game, and you’ll have enough for the 8/21 game.

I killed the game because only 3 had signed up. I’m pretty sure you can only have one private game at a time, with a 24 hour minimum before game time.

I’ll get there eventually.

Tonight, top three deja vu

  1. Duck
  2. Dag
  3. Kyy
  4. Missy
  5. Yeti
  6. Root

Sorry about tonight, I’m getting ready for my massive week next week. And I won’t be in the game next week either, as I think I’ll still be stuck in Atlanta at game time.

The standings:

1 Duke of Rat 71.2
2 Kyyrewyyoae 68.9
3 Dag Otto 63.9
4 Yeticus Rex 57.3
5 Robot Arm 53.6
6 Asterion 52.2
7 Miss Take 47.1
8 Oslo Ostragoth 45.9
