So, do we all have to play a total of 3 games for this quarter to get the mysterious number ranking?
All in all, I think tonight felt more like real poker, than the I can get tighter than the rest of you fest that was tail end of last quarter.
Yeah, felt like poker, complete with Tilt(s).

Yup. I am the all-powerful keeper of the rankings. Unless another spreadsheet geek wants to take over.

Assuming you’re talking about me, yes, please add me to the spreadsheet, thank you. Will try to attend as often as possible.
Lots of fun last night, thanks for the open invite. As I said then, a free game where the participants also take it seriously is really the best of both worlds.

Hold 'em newbie here. Am I allowed in?

Clarification: we had a player last week that I have as “soul/mousseux1385”. What is his Dope name? (For the spreadsheet.)

So wish I could re-do last nights game tonight.
\*\*In other news, I landed that Census Job. \*\*
I took the test on March 19.
I found out today that I got the job, on April 16.
That’s Government for you, I guess.
But wait, I guess that’s me as well. Oh great.
