The Game Room
81

3 questions:

  1. if Poker Mavens is Flash-based, have others tested it for use with Macs?
  2. games start 10 EST (9 CST)… how late do they run?
  3. Pending the answers to 1 & 2, is there room for another player?
82
  1. No idea.
  2. Roughly one and a quarter hour.
  3. Always.

oslo is kind of chatty but don’t let that scare you off.

One of the first things I did when I had the trial software up and running was try logging into the software (direct connection to the internal IP address, of course) using my MacBook. It works fine.

We had ten players! One more and we would have had two tables for the first time in years.

Come on, somebody else please jump in. We won’t bite (much).

87

Tempting. Probably won’t be make to make next week but it’d be fun to drop by for old time’s sake.

88

i’ll try to be there turkey day but just don’t know. have to go spend time with the in laws in houston of all places, yuck. this will really challenge my six month sobriety string.

i wonder if scoring a little contraband heroin counts as falling off the wagon.

89

are we on for tonight. i got back early so can play.

BYTCHES

apparently everyone took off last week to recover from the general smack down that i have been delivering recently. not unexcpected but a little disapointing.

who is up for another go round of the PEEK rocks the SDMB board poker players educational fucking session?

91

and for all those that have asked.

yes, i am available for post game analysis on how i was fucking right every time and the rest of the clowns got lucky if they actually did better than me.

pm me your paypal details and i will bill you afterwards. it’s the best 29.95 that you will ever spend.

trust me on this one.

Should we page a mod to change the thread title? Like “SDMB Poker 4th quarter 2009: UNdead in the water!”?

Ast - something is up with missy’s huge avatar - can we use any size we want?

93

Our next titles should be…
“SDMB Poker 1st Quarter 2010: The Quarter We Make Contact with all Poker Players”
“SDMB Poker 2nd Quarter 2010: Restarting Hal’s Heuristic Poker Program”
“SDMB Poker 3rd Quarter 2010: The Convergence of the Poker Monoliths”
“SDMB Poker 4th Quarter 2010: All these drawing hands are yours except the Royal Flush…Attempt no drawing to it…Use them to crush your opponent…Use them to river each other.”

94

For the avatars to fit properly, they need to be 48x48. I assumed that Missy’s was when she sent it to me. Missy, if you can edit your picture down to 48x48 and send it to me, that’d be great. Otherwise, I’ll do it.

So I’m playing in a HORSE tournament. It’s stud hi/lo, first time around. Annoying player goes all-in. Lots of action in this hand. Here’s the final hands. Order is as dealt.

asterion: Kh6d5h3h2d7h2h Wins low.
ChampsRUs: 7c6cQcQsKcKd2c Wins high.
doubledoll (annoying player): AcQdQhAh3d8d8c
FoxLairAZ: Ts8h9dJsKs2s7s
T AL 1951: AsAdTdTh4h5c6s

Total pot was 2360. Fun hand, huh?

96

yeh, the size of that odd semi spectral deity kind of put me off my feed. so much so that my internet provider decided to go all wonky. shoot, gamesmanship at its best.

But this can’t possibly be right - red has a 10/10, 7/8 and 7/7, and I suspect should be in last place.

I guess I’ll be walking through the spreadsheet this weekend to see where I screwed up.
