I don’t really raise that much do I?

😃  
I was in Alaska for the past week and a half, so there was no way I could possibly be around to play. I’ll be back this week though.

He might have confused you with **OMD** who was doing some pretty aggressive raising last week. It took a few hands before _DuckVision_ kicked in and I could see through his ruse. Now **Yeti** , on the other hand, caught all the breaks early on. I was able to suck his lifeblood, indeed his will to live, and leave him reeling in disbelief.

Glad to hear you’re kicking ass **Capn**!

**Duck** …BOOOOOoooooooooooooooo.

I’ve been a little more “family-focused” as of late, but I will try to get in an occasional .99 tourn and our own SDMB game. The **Duck** must be stopped [at all costs!](http://www.recipezaar.com/110165)

**Nanook** you’re the biggest bully on the block, even when you’re middle stack. I’m on to ya. I can’t do anything about it, but I’m on to ya. 😉

Sorry for the double, but I actually found an archived photo of [Me and **Yeti**](http://www.grinningplanet.com/2004/03-09/gambling-duck.gif) playing heads-up.

Take a little hair off the top, and stick it under my nose, and that’s pretty close to what I look like! Yikes!

Welcome **fubbleskag**!

Send an email to **xray vision** and let him know your Pokertropolis ID and User #. Also let him know your AIM ID.

Look forward to having somebody else get beat up by **Duke of Rat**.

I solemnly resolve to not play so aggressively that I’m out by the first break.

…like usual.

When you absolutely, positively need a good whuppin’…you can bet that I’ll be there, dishing it out. **Duck** will be the first in line tonight. 😉

**fubbleskag** ’s AIM name is **fbblskg** for those of you who like to build AIM lists.

**Gangster** , are you joining us or are you gonna just go solo game on the Bike Tournament again?

I was playing in the 7pm $5 NL tourney when the site went down, about 15 minutes ago. It’s still not letting me log back in. The support person I talked with said the tech folks are aware of the problem and are working on a solution, but just thought I’d let you guys know we may be facing technical difficulties this evening.

It’s back up. For now, anyway. Still not seeing the SDMB tourney, though. **x-ray** , you on it?

Hey guys. Is it all right with everyone if I tabulate last quarter’s results without that one game I can’t find results for? I can’t think of any other way to handle this situation. If it is, I’ll post them tomorrow morning along with this season’s results so far. I want to get back to staying on top of it weekly. Sorry for the screw-up.
