I see Aholibah was serious
All that time for Allen to tell me the following:
OK, I’m switching to AIM mode. Give me a holler when it’s up.
Please wait for a site operator to respond.
You are now chatting with ‘Customer Support’
Customer Support: Welcome to Online Poker Support. My name is Allen. How may I help you?
MostlyDead: Hi Allen. I’m part of a group that plays a private tourney on Thursday nights (SDMB Private) and it’s less than an hour before we’re supposed to start. The game hasn’t appeared yet.
Customer Support: Please hold one moment while this is reviewed for you…
Customer Support: I’m looking into this, I’ll be right back with you.
MostlyDead: anything?
Customer Support: Our technical department will have to look into this. It should be listed before 10PM EST.
MostlyDead: Assuming that for some reason it does not appear by 10PM, will we not have the game this week, or will it be set up for something like 10:30 instead?
Customer Support: I
Customer Support: I am not sure
Followed a few minutes later by:
Customer Support: Please contact us for instructions if the tournament is not listed by 10PM EST
They sure have a crack squad of Allens over at P’tropolis.
“Quick, what name are we using tonite? Allen again? OK! Let me stall these SDMB bozos!”
I thought I saw it for a second, and now I can’t get back to it. Has anyone successfully logged in to it? And also, how do I get to the AIM chat room? Can someone invite me? (My AIM name is OriginalVool)
Well, it’s not looking good. Tell Allen that Duke called him a poopy head.
If the AIM chat thing is going on, can someone invite me? AIM name is lightingtool. Thanks. Hope we get to play tonight.
Sorry, guys – I have a helluva cold and was whacked out of my mind on Robitussin tonight. Did the thing manage to come off tonight or does Allen do you guys even worse than he does me?

Thanks.
Still can’t believe the hand I went out on.
Man, from 5th to 10th, but still only a 10 point spread between me and 1st. This Q is pretty tight.
Once I made it to the final three, I started to play a less than stellar game. But I sucked out so many times early on that I may have been playing poorly all night long.
Man, that was a poor showing on my part. Hit a big hand early, then just pissed all the money away chasing stuff. Just couldn’t get my head in the game.
It’s Thursday bee-yatches!!!
