The first game of the new year will be January 4th, 2007 at 10:00 pm EST. Congrats to mf’r **Dag Otto** for the 4th quarter 2006 crown. For those keen on history, this game has been running every thursday night since early February of 2005. We’ve jumped from site to site and survived despite the new legislation, though attendance has dropped from 11 or 12 to 6 or 7. We’re always looking for new members, and we’d like to extend a special invitation to all former players to come back to the fold. To **Capn Pitt** , **Yeti** , **Aholi** , **Nesta** , our little sailor **Root** , **XRay** , and all the others: we miss you. Come home. And now a little nostalgia.

Nice post to start the new quarter, **Kyy** , but I would add a bit or two of information. We are currently playing on the Microgaming sites. Most of us are at [Crazy Poker](http://www.crazypoker.com/), but you should be able to get in the game from any of the sites listed [here](http://www.microgaming.com/pokerclients.php), depending on where you live. (Hint: you may have to borrow someone else’s address to successfully sign up. I used an old Texas address when my current one was blacklisted.) Plus, we have proven to be devilishly creative with regard to funding players who have trouble in that regard. And, for our **Mac** brethren, a Flash player is available. By the way, despite the hand-wringing over the RepubliPuritan efforts to stamp out the perceived evil that is online poker, it is alive and well. Most of us have had to make minor alterations in how we fund and play, but the games go on for U.S. players, baby. So what’s the deal with the rest of you poker-playing Dopers? Why aren’t you joining us for rude, grim and unspeakably horrid behaviour every Thursday night, for the low, low, cost of a mere $1.05? You could win upwards of $3. Think about it. The world could be your oyster. ---

p.s. Thanks for the links, Kyy. We should do that every time a new quarter comes around. ---

I plan to be home on the 4th, but not much in the last month has gone as it was planned. Look for me in week two. ---

I’m taking next week off and going to visit family. So there’s an outside chance, if nothing is going on Thursday night, that I can commandeer a computer and make it to the game. Don’t count on me though. ---
