yep, **leaper** i’d encourage you to join our rag tag group. actually the skill level is pretty above average (except for **mensa** who is just lucky like a gd leprachaun). k, quick no b.s. question. been doing the same thing that **mensa** does on facebook. first couple of times no prob. win my dime ticket and then off to the next round. how do you fracking folks manage to keep it up for three to four or more hours. i mean the first thirty minutes or so is cool but after about an hour and a half i always feel the need to go do something different. i mean i was playing 2 - 7 this p.m. and after two and half hours i was still sitting at something like 1700 out of 7000. crap i’d probably have grandchildren before that beast was over. ---

Dag ... 15 minutes later... 2. Mentalguy ``` **RACCOON MUST FEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEED!!!** ``` 1. Meeko ``` The Final Four of us went around a while, nearly all even at 8k for a while. Then A few Good hands back to back there And finally, after getting out-rivved all night, I flush on the river. WOOOOT. * * * Time of game was An hour and 45 minutes. What is our record there? ---

[Slate article](http://www.slate.com/id/2277305/) on Dingy Harry’s push to legalize online poker. Does not sound good - no level playing field for Stars or Party. ---

Ironically, I won’t be playing this week because I’ll be playing a FTF tournament at a local gaming shop. Since there’s only 6 people signed up so far I’m pretty much guaranteed to make top 10 🙂 ---

I’m out for tonight as TheKid has her winter choir concert. The next few weeks are iffy too, as my home computer is dead. The debate is buy a new motherboard or just a whole new machine. My wallet dislikes either choice. ---
