(No, I am not bitter, why did you ask?) yeh, that was funny. i think you had a boat on that one, right? there did seem to be an inordinate number of whoppers last night. i think i got two or three boats, a couple of flushies, and a couple of sets. just goes to show that given the right cards even the **peekies** of the world take down a couple of pots. ---
