This isn’t anywhere near that loose, we’ve played over 2 hours with just 15 people starting several times. If anything, we’re probably too tight. Capa84 really opened up on us his first week (only time I got to play against him I think), being a much more aggressive tournament player than what we’re used to. You won’t see stuff like all in on every hand type nonsense. ---

I’m good to go. Do I need a password or something to get into the game on Thursday? ---

Ok, I’m slow and I don’t get this. I set up crazy poker no problem and can see the game, but I thought the issue with the new law was finding a way to get the site funded. Apparently firepay is out. Did someone find a new way that works? I still have 11.97 in my Gaming Club account, and they won’t let me withdraw it because it’s less than $20. ---

I’m out for this week, but I’ll see about joining up after. Chances are, I will need to have somebody fund for me, and cut them a check, since I have never found any other way to play. ---

[QUOTE=Dag Otto] Uh, actually, no I didn’t. Do you still need funds? [/QUOTE] I guess that was a sign-up bonus or something, I had $5 in my account and used $1.05 to sign up for the game. I just figured you hit me with $5 to get by until we see how it washes out. But no, this’ll do me for 3 more weeks 🙂 We should know by then what the score is. If I need more funds after that, I’ll holler. I’ll dig around and see what the referral bonus deal is. If I get more $$ in my account, I’ll be glad to transfer them to unfunded players. ---

That’s 4 that are signed up (there were 3 of us and surely Oslo will go ahead and join the tourney)… ---

[QUOTE=Duke of Rat] That’s 4 that are signed up (there were 3 of us and surely Oslo will go ahead and join the tourney).. [/QUOTE] Are you laying a guilt trip on me? Because I was seriously considering sitting out until my crappy internet connection is fixed. Aww, hell. I’ll probably sign up about an hour before the game. Then lose my connection 10 minutes into the game and finally reconnect only to find that I am short-stacked to 3 BB’s. Pssst: What can we do to cajole/con/nag/blackmail the other dozen or so regulars into making the move? For my part, once my GC $ gets to CP, I’ll offer free buy-ins. Up to a point, that is. ---

[QUOTE=Only Mostly Dead] For me, you can check out how inter-player transfers work since I still will not be able to fund myself (Maryland sucks, etc), and give me to next week to be available (work thing tonight). [/QUOTE] I checked into this (a little too late, since we 've decided on Crazy for at least this week) and found out that Crazy does NOT have the same easy player to player transfer feature that Gaming Club did despite the software being (mostly) the same. They said it could be done, but they need infor from both people (duh) and they would do it manually. Seems dumb and slow. I suppose we could get around this by having private heads up games between the two players, betting the amount to transfer, and then folding. Damn it, it shouldn’t be so hard to have a friendly game. ---

**OMD** , go ahead and sign up and see if they give you $5 to start out. I didn’t fund my account there and got $5, so did **Oslo**. That’s 4 weeks play, maybe enough time to make funding arrangements. ---
