I think that’s what it goes by. The irony is that I only have below $100 because I’ve been helping a friend fund his account who doesn’t have the right bank accounts. I transfer him $20 in game, he PayPals me $20. The other day I told him I’d give him $42 if he’d Paypal me $35 (I think) and he said no. 😕 ---

Actually, Hawk, I’m looking for that kind of arrangement. I have Paypal, but don’t have Pstars funded. Are you willing to sell me some chips? ---

Just a reminder that I have a $1.00 + .25 + .10 real money knockout tourney scheduled at 9:00 central for anyone that is interested. I know some of you are having to wait to get money in your accounts, but come on by and play a side game if you like. ---

Well, I found out today that my recent deposit to PokerStars did not go through and they are not currently taking deposits from my state. They are not preventing me from playing if I have money, but right now I don’t. So, are any of you able to deposit into PokerStars, and if so, would you be willing to let me send you money via PayPal and then transfer money from your PokerStars account to mine? ---

I have set up a play money triple stud (stud, razz, and stud hi-lo) tourney for Saturday night at 9:00 central. I have also set up a real money ($1.00 + .10) 2-7 triple draw tourney for Sunday night at the same time. Someone may want to let peeker know since he was the one that requested a lowball tourney. Of course, I can’t play unless I find some other way to fund my account, but I hope those of you that do participate have a good time. ---

Just bumping to remind everyone about the triple stud tourney tonight at 9:00 central. I will apologize in advance since I may wind up botting a portion of the tourney. I will need to pick up the son again. ---

Well, I need to apologize for the debacle of a game last night. As I said in chat, I thought I was setting it for the limits to go up every fifteen minutes, not just have the game change. In my defense, the option on the creator screen does say “blind level”. Anyway, we decided to just cancel the tournament a little before 1:00 am central. I found out though, that you cannot cancel a tournament once it has started. So, we all just quit playing. I checked this morning, and the computer was still merrily passing chips back and forth at 100 antes, 150 bring-ins, and 500/1000 bets. Also, Dag had went from last to first by not playing. Anyway, things I have learned: You can’t cancel tourneys once they have started, so no starting over for latecomers (though there is late registration, so it should not be a problem). To always look at the tourney info after I have created one. Even if the limits had gone up every fifteen minutes, they were not going up as much as I thought they would. I should have also started with less chips. As I said before, I am sorry. I will try to do better in the future. Also, for those of you that can play real money, I have set up a $1.00 + .10 2-7 triple draw tourney for tonight at 9:00 central. It should not last all night. ---
