Can’t sign up for Netteller either. They don’t like that my cell phone (my only phone) is not from my region. I know they _think_ they are having great security, but in reality, it’s just a nuisance. I mean, as long as the number I give matches the one listed for my bank account (which it does) why the fuck should they care where the phone is listed? I imagine there are lots of people in my situation, especially college students, who, if my research is correct, love to play poker. Damn it. ---

Nice suck-out with your KJ to bust my AJ out of the tourney, **nesta**. 😉 ---

I had quite a few lucky suck-outs. I’m usually on the wrong end of them, so it was a welcome change. There were a few people that didn’t seem to know we have a regular Thursday tourney over at Pokertropolis. It’s mostly bragging rights since the buy-in is $.60, and the payout to the winner is usually just a little more than that. See [this thread](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=352712) if you’re interested. Does the Tuesday 5+.50 happen every week? I liked having a little real money on the line, and no season standings to worry about. Next time around we might want to get some out of game chat going with AIM or some other client. That’s been a lot of fun for the Thursday crowd. ---

I tried to sign up, but my credit card wasn’t accepted from this site. Got denied… Odd it works on one poker place and not on another. Going to go through Neteller so maybe by next week. ---

Wow. Are they always over that quick? I’ll play more often, if that’s the case :). **ArchitectChore** took it, after a not-particularly-competitive heads-up session against me. I’ll get you next time! ---
