Looking ahead to titles for the next quarter thread, I’m thinking the economy will still be an issue:
Consumer confidence lowest since Great Depression: SDMB Poker Q4 2011
I like this because it is self-deprecating, but the poker connection is not very strong.
Get $500 million bailout, go bankrupt: SDMB Poker Q4 2011
Because that’s how we roll?
No Kitteh pictures: SDMB Poker Q4 2011
OK, that is lame, but I had to do a list of three. 
Whatcha got for ideas?
BTW: tradition is that the quarter winner posts the new thread, with links to the previous thread and the whole dope on how to join us.

Now featured on the Big XII Football Network, SDMB Poker.
Social Security solvency plan: …
Is this the same site that was just shut down as a Ponzi scheme?
Nope. We play at PokerStars, which, as far as I know, has cashed out all US players.(But the cash side of the site has been seized* and shut down to US players.) We are still able to use play-money chips for our tournaments - new US players have to sign up through PokerStars.net, which is play-money only.
And, HOLY CRAP!!!
This thing with FullTilt could really hurt all online sites, though. And my opinions of Lederer and Ferguson just took a massive hit. If you are going to accept huge amounts of money from someone, you’d better know where it came from, or you could be forced to give it back.
*IMO because, in the eyes of the DOJ, they were a little slow in shutting US players out of cash games.
Bump, if anyone is interested Kid Poker is doing pretty well in the WCOOP event #53. Hold’m. on PokerStars. 652 entrants, 35 left, he is ~15th as of 7:30 pm cdt.
And just like that, he was eliminated in 34th place.

We had a couple of insomniac Irish players tonight. If you guys want us to set up a Europe-friendly game (in terms of time/day of the week), we can do it - just let us know.
Yeah, sorry I couldn’t make it. School has started again and I’ve got a night class so I’ll probably be playing only intermittently until next summer.
Just bumping for Tonight’s game.
I am registering, but I will have to pick my son up at some point. I hope it is before the game, but if I am botting then that is why.
yeti: I think you have been nominated to create the new thread (unless some other clever person steps up).

We need a thread title, guys. Morphing these topics together. Jesus Social Security Full Tilt Ponzi Scheme.
Scheming Ponzi Jesus on Full Tilt is sapping my Social Security! (a little TF2 reference there!)
What would Ponzi Jesus Do? He’d go Full Tilt and Scheme on my Social Security!
Pick one!
(sorry…had a power outtage on Thursday night)
