I’m on the northern leg of the **MAB Party Tour** that **Duke** was on last week. Couple that with the fact that I’m PokerTropolis broke until I can find a way to get money on there, I’m out for this week.

Good luck and may the Flop be with you.

I will pay tonight and I won’t do the 99 center at the same time. Too much to concentrate on and I can’t be a social in the chat room.

I plan on being there. Unless we hear from **xray** , I’ll check PT for the tourney by 8:30pm EDT and if I don’t see it, I’ll contact customer service and get it up and going. I think I’ve got everybody’s AIM names now, so I should be able to get the chat room going as well.

So I pull off the page on my pinup-of-the-day calendar, and get [“What A Deal!”](http://www.thepinupfiles.com/images/whatadeal.jpg) (mildly worksafe, as it is a pinup picture). A flush draw ruined by that damned Jh.

Two hands later, I have a flush draw after the flop, and get taken all-in by the F’r Yetibot brought to life. And end up with turn and river as useless as that Jh.

Grim.

We play every Thursday at 10 PM Eastern on PokerTropolis. You have to sign up there and deposit some funds ($20 minimum IIRC). 20 will last a long time, the buy in is just .10 and .50 to the house, so it costs .60/week to play.

After you get signed up on PokerTropolis, you have to give your PokerTropolis username and ID # number (not password) to Aholibah, I think she has taken over the duties of setting up the tournaments now.

Sounds harder than it really is…

And congratulations to **MissTake** on her most excellent play last night. She jumped out there kickin’ butt and never looked back. A great job!

Well, I’m back in school and I am going to allow myself one night off from studying for poker. (I’ll make it up with extra time spent during the day and on the weekends.) So I’m hoping to be in this Thursday. However, my account went bye-bye. Could anyone lend me about three bucks to get in for a couple weeks? I’ll pay you back any way you want (PT transfer, PayPal, heck, even a check or money order) once the school starts paying me.

Cool, I participated in the original version on PokerRoom I think it was. Things didn’t run that smoothly there, I assume the new site is better. I’ll probably won’t be around this week.
