You will see a confirmation windowā€¦read it and then click on ā€œOKā€. You should also see a list of other players who already signed up after the confirmation window disappears. 7. When you are logged onto PT, you will get a window popup asking you if you wish to the tableā€¦click OK 8. Get ready for some fun. For AOL: 1. Log on AOL 2.

> [@](#): > > 1. When you are logged onto PT, you will get a window popup asking you if you wish to the tableā€¦click OK If and only if you are already signed up for the gameā€¦you CAN come to the game later than the start time of 7pm PDT, but from the start you will be displayed as a ā€œbotā€ (ghost) usually just putting in you blinds and folding your hands. It does this pretty slowly at first (for about the first hour), so it does save your seat for you if you are running late. ---

I see you have an PokerTropolis username and ID number, so you have that covered. If you have your account funded, then you should have no troubles come Thursday. I think **Aholibah** has been setting up the tournaments, as long as she has your info, it will be as simple as clicking on the ā€œSignupā€ button under ā€œTournamentsā€\> ā€œMulti Tableā€ like **Yeti** said. ---

Just out of curiousity, how many games will I have to play to figure out if Iā€™m getting bad cards or if I just suck? ---

Hard to say. Some people claim you can play any 2 cards, some claim itā€™s a game you can never master. I notice that I can go through cycles of getting good cards and terrible cards all in the same nightā€¦not that having good cards means I wonā€™t still screw up. And you can get lucky with crap and still win. Iā€™d just try to play every week and see how it goes. Also, some of us have been playing against each other for months. Donā€™t let going out early take the wind out of your sails, hang in there! ---

We went all-in post-flopā€¦you had the flush draw, I had a pair of Tens. I had a set of Tens when you got the heart flush. The rest you stated is fact. ---

Almost the same thing happened to me. I had 6c 6d with a 4h 9h 6h on the flop. **Kyy** put me all in with his flush (or bluff on a flush draw) and I call. Turn was Ah, all but sealing the deal on the flush against my set, until another A comes on the river to give me a glorious suck out boat against his A high flush šŸ˜ƒ ---

The tournamentā€™s already up, and Iā€™ve just been on to customer support to make sure Oslo will be able to get in this week. I was assured that heā€™ll be able to sign up within the hour. Hope everybody else can make it, too. Our little game is growing! ---

I was assured that heā€™ll be able to sign up within the hour. Hope everybody else can make it, too. Our little game is growing! Great! But Iā€™m not sure Iā€™ll be able to make it - Iā€™m in Rita preparation mode and may have some tasks given to me. (Iā€™m in Austin TX right now. Went to Costco this morning, and they sold out of water in 15 minutes. Maybe 2 dozen pallets. No gas or C or D batteries, either. A million or so Houstonians are on their way here, and there isnā€™t a hotel room anywhere. Maybe Lubbock or Amarillo.) ---
