I hope it will be listed before I leave, though (6pm central) so I can sign up. actually since i seem to be on a current downard trend i think this characterization is a little harsh. i prefer to think of it more in the terms that i am just not performing as well in relation to the other players. ---

I need something to maintain a sense of social life. I will be in tonight. Or at least, I plan to be. Job feels like it was a bit bait and switch on me, but that’s for another time, place, and audience. ---

**Creole** , you left too quickly. You still had some chips left; took a few rounds for the blinds to finish you off. ---

I posted this in the other SDMB thread, but the fricking dog puked all over everything, and in my horror, I lost my mind. I thought I had all-inned to NFMensa so I could clear my chips, but as I clicked to close the window, I saw I had some left. Sorry. I shall lose on purpose next week to redeem myself. 😃 ---

Word is spreading like wildfire through the SDMB to make sure **peekercpa** finishes in the bottom four. ---

> [@notfrommensa](#): > > Word is spreading like wildfire through the SDMB to make sure **peekercpa** finishes in the bottom four. hey, if that’s what it takes to get to three tables i’ll sign up. seriously, i have sucked eggs the last two weeks. end up folding the best hand or plugging away with the second best hand. not a real successful recipe. ---

If you didn’t fold Fours full of Queens, pre-flop, or if you didn’t get everyone else to fold to your pocket jacks pre-flop, I don’t want to hear it. Or if you didn’t have to move all-in on pocket K-J off, just to have someone call you, because they held pocket Kings, yeah, I still don’t want to hear it. **I think I made the most chips last night by playing 7-2 off, twice. :eek:** ---

I was on tilt after I flopped 3 sixes when I was in the big blind holding A-6. I check the flop hoping someone would bet. No one did. a 5 came on the turn. I checked, no one bet. Another 5 hit the river, giving me 6’s full boat. Damn Ghost had pocket fives and hit quads at the end. OUCH! If luck wasn’t part of this game, I would win every time. of course that was after i sucked out on Creole with a river flush after she spiked an ace on the turn to go ahead of my Q’s. ---
