Well, the top 3 in the power rankings are gonna pulled back into the slop… **Nanook** will probably be first, **Nesta** will probably sneak in at 2nd and then the other guys with 3 games in will probably be nipping at the heels. Good job on kicking my butt (and Duck’s) guys. ---

Yep, your top 2 place guys pretty well sucked last night. I had a straight flush early on, and a $10 bet scared everybody off. I guess I shoulda played it slower… And then I raised a bet and was poised to call the re-raise with a pocket pair…and hit “Fold”!! I was crushed. Things just went downhill from there it seemed. First 2 table tourney! It was exciting, but I would have liked to been able to see the other table… I don’t know, **Nanook** was 16% behind me… Not sure if that’ll be enough to push me back too far, but I’m gonna need to buck up for next week. ---

Hey! I just tried to go to pokertropolis and play a little .25-.50 but I got problems. First it won’t let me buy in when I sit down. Second, it won’t let me go to the cashier page. I should have a solid 8 buckaroos in the ol’ account. Ideas? Insights? Is it just me? Can any of you guys see the cashier stuff? ---

Well, it worked today, but my playing didn’t. Any chance one of you guys wants to move 20 bucks to the ol’ Capn’s PTrop account? **Xray** can be a character witness! 🙂 ---

I went to the Bicycle Casino on Sunday and played in a $70 satellite and won me $380. Hollah! ---

Yeah, I’m getting my own collection of “rivered again” stories to pass down to my own children when they become of age. **Capn** …I would if I could…but I’m back to less than $10. **GO** , glad to hear that you did some damage…It gives me hope! As for this Thursday…My middle son turns 9 that day…I may or may not be there tomorrow night, depending on what he wants to do that day. I might \*Yetibot that night and jump in late…who knows. He might want to watch me play (he has before and he’s my math wiz of the boys and is interested like I was at his age). ---

I might have to miss my first ever tourney. The fall leg of the party tour circuit starts this weekend, gotta get hammered in Texarkana, leaving really early Friday morning. So much yet to do, pretty much depends on how much I get done tonite whether or not I’ll be there tomorrow night. I shoulda missed LAST week 😃 ---

1 Kyy 2 Nanook 3 Aholibah 4 Dead Guy 5 \*Yeti I don’t remember what we did last time we had a bot, last or left off. Anyone remember? X, we were talking tonight and we all get the impression you don’t want the responsiblity for this anymore. If thats true, we’ll gladly take it over for you. Aholibah is willing to set up the chat and tournament, and I can handle the rankings if you wish. ---

I play consistently on PokerChamps and Paradise, I wouldn’t mind playing on a new site. I do **not** use my credit card though for transactions. But would be willing to get a throw away card for the minimum deposit needed on Pokertropolis if that would work? I play on PokerChamps and Paradise purely with money earned on the bonus/affiliate programs even got to cash out more then once 🙂 If anyone knows if that can work let me know, I will be more then happy to come to Thursday night sessions. ---

Wednesday night I decided to upgrade to WinXP. Wow! Look! It won’t recognize my modem. Well, that should be an easy fix. Nope. After I bought a new modem, got it working and everything I realized I couldn’t locate the CD with my ISP dialer. Called the ISP, found that _sometimes_ when people go from Win2000 to WinXP there can be problems getting an ISP loaded. I am one of those special people. Until I either find my dialer CD or I receive the program from the ISP in the mail I have no internet at home. WAHHH!!! ---
