am I the only one who thinks once a week is so far away? 
No.
But then, it would mean playing against me sooner. 
Seriously, we are still forming the Thursday game as is.
I would rather have one solid to knock your socks off poker orgy on one night, than two dying dogs that should be put out of their misery from two different nights.

i’d also like to play more often but wonder if that might water down the experience. it seemed like this was on it’s last legs there for a bit. i know that last week was the first time since i started playing that we actually had two tables. maybe if we got to the point that we had ten or so tables consistently we could do it more often. but for me, the missus and kids now know that thursday from 9 to whenever is an off limits and let dad sit on the porch and hurl random curse words at his computer.
Errk, finally posting results and standings. I went from being the very low stack for most of the first 45 minutes to the winner’s circle:
11 redskeeezix
10 dag
9 fubbleskag
8 missy
7 peek
6 mentalguy
5 yeti
4 asterion (yay, the guy who hosts our games finally gets to play!)
3 RobotArm
2 meeko
1 Me, but you already knew that
Current standings:
1 Meeko 69.9
2 Oslo Ostragoth 67.9
3 Yeticus Rex 65.2
4 MissTake 61.7
5 Robot Arm 61.6
6 MentalGuy 53.6
7 Red Skeezix 48.5
8 Dag Otto 48.2
9 peekercpa 40.1
10 fubbleskag 39.5
That will not happen. I doubt that in the entire history of the game, there have been more than twenty players at a time.
Oslo, did you not get the hand history?
Oslo got Pocket Kings to take my Slick, for a VAST majority of my stack, and Pocket Rockets to clean me out.
This works for me.
I begin to wonder if I shouldn’t get back out and round in earnest now. I would love to confirm where my skill level is.
Yep. It may take a while (if ever) to go through and post interesting hands.
oh, i understand that. in my peekish way i was trying to say the thursdays look to be our lone dope outlet for poker.
It just dawned on me Peeker.
What the dope really REALLY needs, is a good game of “telephone”.
Somone would whisper a message to peeker, peeker would message it to me… I would message it back to peeker, back to me, and then we tell the entire world nothing like what peeker was told originally.
Back when dinoaurs roamed the earth, it was not uncommon for those of us sans a life to find each other on cash sites and play random tourneys on evenings other than Thurday.
Unfortunately, the super crackdown on funding cash play sites left some without that ability.
I still will play here and there at UB, but that’s about it, sadly. I do still have my account with cash at CrazyPoker, but it’s so jacked up it has become a pain to play there.
We also would play cribbage after our Thursday night game, just for giggles. We played Scrabble, too, but some people didn’t like my use of ormolu and Ast would consistantly beat the crap out of us.
Tell me the inventor of Cribbage wasn’t on Opium or something. At the very least, ADHD.
Seriously. I had a guy teach me how to play, and I almost thought it was Calvinball.
Just went to poker mavens site . Our site is not among the ones listed as private sites. Have we moved?
Is my server missing it?
I don’t think we moved. I’m not sure how this works on Ast’s end though, maybe the computer that he has the program on is offline tonight?
Hmmm. Still not up.
Geeze you guys are picky. One freaking power outage that knocks my computer out for an hour and somehow it’s a panic that the server isn’t up and running two minutes after the computer is booted.
Dag, check your PM. Password is enclosed.

I guess it’s time for me to sit out the rest of the quarter…
I thought I was sixth.
Not that, that would matter, but, still.
7th is correct.
