Yours truly enjoyed the favor of the poker gods during the first quarter, so I am obligated to start the thread for the second quarter. In keeping with tradition, cut-and-paste details follow: For those in the know, this is the thread for our first quarter of 2013. For those not in the know, there is a group of us from the SDMB that play poker online every Thursday night at 10 Eastern/9 Central. We will continue to play on PokerStars using the “Home Game” club that was announced here. The games are still free. If you would like to join us, then follow the steps below: 1. Go to [www.pokerstars.com](http://www.pokerstars.com) and download the software. 2. Send a PM to MentalGuy(me) to have him send you the invitation code (it is no longer cecilville). 3. After installing the software, find the Home Games tab. 4. Click on “Join a Poker Club” 5. Enter 42585 as the number of the club to find. 6. Enter the invitation code sent to you by MentalGuy. 7. Wait for MentalGuy to approve you. (He will do it as soon as possible.) This should make you a member of “MentalGuy’s poker club.” Once you are there, you should have no problem finding the tournaments. The Thursday night game is our “official” game that Oslo Ostragoth keeps the standing for each quarter, but we often have additional games. Oslo often schedules a pot-limt hold’em/omaha event on Saturday nights and several players like to play an occasional Badugi tournament. If there is a game you would like scheduled or a certain time you would like to play, just let us know and we should be able to accomodate you. We also usually have chat going on AIM while we play (there is a chat window at the table, but AIM allows a bit more freedom and does not get interrupted with hand descriptions). If you join us, we would appreciate it if you fill out your information on this [spreadsheet](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?authkey=CJTltuIH&key=0AuUIlC8jmPBgdGxsSWdlN2c4UTQ0bHhpbXkxRWx5QlE&hl=en&authkey=CJTltuIH#gid=0). This helps us keep players straight with their doper and AIM handles. ---

You got the correct one. I screwed up, didn’t see that Duality had already started one last week. ---

Man, I was even gonna play tonight, but still can’t crack this PokerStars nut. I think they blackballed me for being somebody else or something, I’ve never played a hand there. ---

You thought that was the signature hand of the night? A-4 suited against queens is not a massive mismatch. The table cards definitely helped, but it wasn’t a terrible hand to push with. Unlike another I could mention. ---

Agreed. Didn’t I push and win with a 58o just before or after this hand? ---

> [@fubbleskag](#): > > Agreed. Didn’t I push and win with a 58o just before or after this hand? 5-8 suited against my A-6 off, and I was in desperation mode. I think **Mr. D** pushed, too, and you called us both. I hit two-pair on the flop, for all the good it did me when you made the flush on the turn. When I suck out like that, at least I have the good manners to remember it the next day. ---

I guess I have no business playing poker anymore, just getting signed up has been more than I can comprehend for weeks now. I don’t remember it being so complicated before, but I’m just not cutting it. Maybe it’ll be legal again one day and I can give it another go. ---
