[QUOTE=Oslo Ostragoth] p.s. I’m still waiting for my Gaming Club cash-out. Anybody get theirs yet? [/QUOTE] A long time ago. It only took about three days, but that was in my neteller account. ---

[QUOTE=Oslo Ostragoth] **Duke** , get off your ass and win some money off us so you can enter! [/QUOTE] There is no way for me to play. Even the lowest limit games have a 1 minimum buy in, I have .84. I can’t get any of the options to take my credit card, Neteller has closed my account. So basically, I’m finished with online poker, I have no way to continue. ---

I don’t think it would do any good to set up a tourney. The 1st place winnings from any tournament I could afford to enter would probably not be enough for one week’s buy in at the regular tourney. ---

[/QUOTE] No, but it could let you buy into a regular game, where a few of us could dump a few more $ your way, enough for a few months of playing the weekly game. You could settle up with us offline. That is, if your 84 cents is enough to let you get into a tourney. ---

If I could get up past 1 and we could set up a .05/$.10 private ring game, I could get some chips that way. ---

I have a private cash game set up, “Duke’s Charity”. It’s $.50 minimum buy in, same password as the weekly tourney. ---
