> [@Yeticus Rex](#): > > Tell you what…I’m signing up now for tonight’s .99 tournament. I'm doing payroll tonight at the office and that would make for a lovely break. I will also be on AIM so we can talk about who's in what place and who sucks the most. I see that the start time is 6pm (PST) and is the only .99 tournament listed. See you Dopers there! That’s 99 pennies well spent. I’m in. ---

It’ll be great to see some friendly names! And FWIW, I won $26 in Limit just a little while earlier. I got the money back I lost on the Quad K beat above, plus a little more. ---

I’d be in, but my paycheck didn’t show up today. Anyway, is this a recurring thing? If it’s 7 PM MDT every Monday, I’d be happy to join in–if I ever get paid. ---

They run the $.99 same time every night. I sucked in the tournament last night, CapnPitt was our best finisher. I made up for it in the Limit rooms 😉 ---

Yes, I was the best finisher, but 53rd out of 270-some ain’t all that grand. But I did finish ahead of\*\* Yeti\*\*,\*\* Kyy\*\*, and **Dukey**. It was a lot of fun though. And rather terrific to have my own cheering section on AIM. Thank you guys for that. Finally: Kram Krush! ---

You guys interested it doing it more often? They told me not to come into work today–I’m not in trouble, but we’re really slow and I’m hourly, so they’re making the salary people take the load. So I’m available tonight. ---

Tonight is not good for me…last night was kinda spur of the moment…I was at the office doing payroll which meant a long night of number crunching…today, I gotta get home early to hang with the wife and kidlins. Another time soon I hope. ---

Okay guys, I found the results from the June 2nd game. Yes, I’m finally going to get around to updating our stats. I have last weeks game results at work, but if someone wrote them down, can you please post them here and I’ll start updating now. Thanks guys. Starting right now I’ll update week by week and stop procrastinating. ---

**x-ray** , for the record, you’re the best. I don’t think I’ll be able to play tonight (last week of the this trivia season), but you never know. I might have to do a bit of the ol’ Rude 'n Grim Driving™ that I did a few weeks ago to make it on time. Regardless, I’ll hop on AIM when I get home and check in on youse guyz. ---

Is it too late to join in? I can’t access PT from work (well, I could, but I’d be fired), but will do my darndest to get a name and such by 7pm cst (2 hours before play time, right?) Miss\*(she who watches too much Hold’Em on TV and relieved her nephew of $45 this weekend)\*Take ---

Its not too late **MissTake**. As long as you can send me your PT name and number and your AIM name by about 9:30 est. you _should_ be able to play tonight. I’ll try my best to get PT to add you to our private group asap. ---

You got it, MissTake. You just need to get signed up and get your PT user name and ID (not password) to x-ray ASAP so he can add you to the private tournament list. And AIM is handy to get everybody coordinated (the AIM language can be a bit rude, enter at your own risk!). ---

And if you can’t get funded, I’ll spot you the entry fee. I’ll need the same info to do that. ---

> [@MissTake](#): > > Do they take ye’ olde Visa? > Is there a minimum buy in? Neteller takes some Visa cards, not sure if you can put funds directly into a PT account. I tried one Visa card on Neteller and it wouldn’t go thru (it’s a little low limit card I try to use for online stuff) so I used a different card and it went thru just fine. But…it’s a PITA, really. I called them, and then they said they’d have to call me back to confirm. If you have plenty of time, I’d just get set up with Neteller. If you are cutting it close, I’ll fund you for tonite’s game (if they’ll let me transfer $.60 to your account, there might be a larger minimum). The buy in is .10, and .50 to the house, so you get 1500 in chips for .10. The $.50 fee is just to use their table. Yeah, Capn, I went out so quick last week I guess I sprang forward only to fall back 🙂 [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/the-sdmb-world-poker-tour-on-pokertropolis-rude-and-grim-when-you-go-all-in/306295.md?page=7) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/the-sdmb-world-poker-tour-on-pokertropolis-rude-and-grim-when-you-go-all-in/306295.md?page=9)
