Thanks for the warm welcome, notfrommensa. I may be on tonight, but probably not on AIM. I’m going to need to run out and pick up a USB headset for that, so as not to wake the wife.
Look forward to it.
Shark, the AIM is typing chat, not voice chat. So don’t worry about the headset.
These are the instructions for the pokermavens site for shark and anyone else interested in some poker Thursdays 10 Eastern.
You gotta do what the thread title says…
<snipped>
this is the type of “encouragement” that i was alluding to.
hey, mensa can you direct me to where the quarter standings are? i seem to have misplaced that.
jump in. the fucking sharks eat your ass and you just lose an hour or so of time at worst. at best, you meet some really cool folks. plus the video links are kind of entertaining.
and i don’t want to give mensa a bigger head than that durn thing that missy had going on for a while but these folks are pretty tough. and he is a hard walnut to crack. but shoot most of the others are as well. except for meeko who seems to get rivered more than anyone i have ever seen.
Hopefully we got two newbies tonight, Shark Sandwich and Chessic Sense have both expressed some interest. Chessic Sense has been PMing me, hope I didn’t spook him.
shoot chessic was helping coach me on a recent chess game (i suck). so maybe that period of ineptitude will lure him into our net. mwahh hah hah hah.
Was that you own personal chess blog disguised as a SDMB thread?
Okay, I’m signed up. Pokermavens screen name is Shark_Sandwi and my AOL IM name is Shark Sandwich. I’m going to try like hell to play tonight, but I might not be able to make it.
Hope to see everyone.
Great, SS. looking forward to seeing you tonight. You can earn brownie points from me if you bust Peeker and RedSkeezix.
Just sign up and bot it, you’ll still beat 2/3 of the field! 
now wait the fucking minute. when did i ever get lumped in with skeezy? fuck, mensa i could talk about your mama but crap don’t get this low. for fucks sake.
i really do like the “encouragement” that we provide to each other. kind of keeps me coming back.
neta: and i did mention that some of the “commentary” is kind of like not safe for work.
In case anyone missed it, I was only ribbing Meeko over the .1% difference in our standings. Everybody knows I’m not going to win a damn thing from here, and I hope Meeko finishes strong for the Q.
Smack talking used to be a big part of the game, and I’m obviously out of touch in the newer incarnation. I apologize and will be more careful of what I post in the future.

I’d like to give this a shot. I’m ready to give Meeko a run for his money for last place. I’ve only played a handful of real money games with friends and a bit of free money online games, but I’m looking to get better. I’ll set up the accounts and let you know my usernames when I get out of work.
well, the inevitable plummet to the ground without a parachute is occuring.
man, those were some miserable cards last night.
you’d better be ready to walk backwards really fast to accomplish that goal.
actually meeko is a good sort. he just has a knack for coming in second in poker hands.
