I created it last week, and it was on the list when I checked. And it shows up in my “Manage your private tables” page (although it doesn’t show any details about it). I’ll try creating a new one. It’ll have to be late, though. Stand by. ---

Never mind, apparently it’s working for everyone else. Yeti, I don’t know why you and I can’t access the game. ---

I’m using a different front end than the other players. I’m on Poker Time (for reasons that are still unclear to me) and I think the players last night are on Crazy Poker. Maybe Poker Time couldn’t access our game, either temporarily or permanently. That’s the only thing I can think of. If this keeps up, I’ll go Crazy. **Yeti** , I’ll be Vegas next Thursday and Friday. If you’re in town, dinner’s on me. ---

Awwww…sorry to disappoint…too much stuff going on this week…INCLUDING tonight…my son is back in Fall Ball, which means we got 3 games a week (He’s in Juniors now, 13 & 14 y.o.) and tonight we have our first game. Now we have games that can last up to 2.5 hours which start at 6pm PDT and can go to 8:30pm, plus this game is in another town about 15 miles away, which means I won’t be home until 9pm PDT. Fortunately, this is our only Thursday game for the whole season, so hopefully I will find my way back on next week. I gotta take down Missy to claim my title!
