Two games up for the week. One is probably at the right time. I think the poker server is already on standard time. ---

I was thinking of doing it, but you’ve been gracious to do the rankings for quite some time…so some slack was given. Thanks for doing it by the way. ---

I don’t know if I’ll be in the game tomorrow, I may drink myself into a stupor first. I’ve played 7 sit-n-gos in the last two days. Haven’t cashed yet. During that span: Pocket aces twice, cracked once. Pocket kings three times, cracked all three times by rags, all three times knocking me out of the tournament and I was ahead when I pushed. ---

I will probably be out tonight too, unless y’all don’t mind me botting after 10pm (IF I were to be lucky enough to make the break!) I’ll be a voyeur until chauffeur duty kicks in. ---

I don’t mind getting beat by New Guy, but getting beat by Oslo is kinda puttin’ a freak on my psyche. Says Duke, who didn’t get taken out by New Guy. ---

Okay, so I’m a yutz. I scheduled the game for next FRIDAY. Now I have no objections to playing Friday, eventhough I will be functioning on only a few hours of sleep (Black Friday shopper here), and since Thursday IS Turkey Day - I’ll leave it up. And I just won a SnG 😃 w00t! ---
