I was still at work last night during the game, so I was a little distracted a good portion of the time. That’s my excuse for my poor showing, and I’m sticking to it. 🙂 I’m pretty sure I went out 4th last week. ---

Work? Man I burned a big ol’ chunk off my index finger (mouse clicker) on the grill trying to get something cooked before the storm hit. Today the blister (more like jerky) has torn away to reveal the medium rare meat below. I was playing in excruciating pain! I guess I shoulda mentioned it, so Yeti would have had some pity on me (yeah, right. that guy knows not pity!). And I shoulda started drinking earlier, obviously. ---

I still can’t believe that one hand I had. Flopping a full house was nice enough, but the turn brough a 4th 4. I’ve never had a hand like that in Hold’Em. Hell, I’ve only gotten that kind of hand in joke games with lots of wild cards. It was quite exciting. So was that the first time anyone’s hit 10K before the end of the game? That was a monster pot for certain Yeti, so glad I took it and not you 😛 Can’t wait for the standings and next weeks game. ---

That was a monster pot for certain Yeti, so glad I took it and not you 😛 Can’t wait for the standings and next weeks game. I cracked 5 digits before the end of last weeks game, but I think it was just heads up, not 3 players. I think you had 10K with 3 still in. ---

I did briefly crack 10K after that triple up and then gave almost all of it away to you on the following hand or two, setting you up for the win. **Xray** , I was 8th the week before. ---

Not that it helps any, but I went out about 2 minutes before the break last week. Which, given our blind structure, is pretty early: I’ll say 7th but I can’t prove it. On a related note, let me say that I really like the blind structure at PTrop or BotTrop as the case may be. The progression is about right on: at worst you get to play for a decent while and the end game doesn’t take forever. Oh yeah, and **Yeti** sux! 🆒 ---

Just a bump to see if we have a tournament set up for tomorrow. ---

> [@Dag Otto](#): > > I’ve done ok there on the small ring games, but I decided to take a bit of my modest winnings out after reading that. Well, it’s been a week and the money has still not hit my Neteller account. Does anyone know if Pokertropolis has a minimum amount for cashing out? I tried to cash out $40 (a small amount, I know, but it’s more than I originally deposited). I’ve not received any e-mails from Pokertropolis saying that there is any problem, but 1 week is far to long to wait. And I’ll play tomorrow, since I apparantly have more than enough funds there. I’ve mentioned this before, but I don’t know if it was passed over on accident or intentionally. Could we make the buy-ins an even dollar? It just seems silly to me to have the rake five times more than the prize pool. Having a 50 cent rake/50 cent prize pool seems to make a little more sense to this gambler. ---

Problem solved. I sent an e-mail to Pokertropolis support, and Neteller had the money within an hour. They said I didn’t indicate a payment method. I either didn’t see the place where I was supposed to tell them, or maybe I just assumed that it would be Neteller since that’s how I funded the account. Still, they could have sent an e-mail right away explaining this, rather than letting me wait a week and then having to inquire about it. I didn’t ask about the bots.
