Unfortunately, I don’t have AIM. I guess I’ll look for the private table or private tourney at Pokertropolis. If there is a password or special instructions, could someone e-mail me?
It’ll be under “Tournaments” and it had SDMB in the title last week, easy to find. I think you just have to ask permission. I can’t really remember signing up last week, it all happened so fast.
But you will miss a lot without AIM. I was wary of DL’ing and using it, but it was fairly painless and adds a lot to the rapport among players during the game. Not a must have, I didn’t have it when I started, but I’m glad I have it now.
And now that I load the thing up, I can’t remember if it was “Private Tables” or “Tournaments”. Email x-ray vision, he’s the MAN!!
I presume it’s too much to ask that you use a site that works with PokerTracker, i/e/ Party, Stars, or UB?
I think the reason we picked PokerTropolis is because we just wanted to have a tournament format, and as small of stakes as possible. PT fit that just fine. PokerRoom didn’t allow for private tournaments, that was our major gripe with it.
These games are more for fun and board bragging rights, I don’t think anybody is going to use PokerTracker to win $.40/week. This is more like a glorified home game, not a WSOP satellite or something that serious.
So no, I don’t think that selecting a site that supported PokerTracker was high on the list of priorities, but I can’t speak for the entire group.
PokerTracker didn’t matter to me. A private game where we could have raising blinds did matter. I’m happy for the change.
Will I only see the game in Tournaments once Xray adds my ID# to a list? As of right now, I don’t see anything except the typical charity/officially sponsored tournaments.
Yeah, I think that’s the way it works. So everyone make sure to send Xray your P’Tropolis name and id number so he can add you to the list, if you haven’t done so already. And we don’t have a flexible start time like on Pokerroom, so don’t be late!
You should be ready soon Only Mostly Dead. Go to “Tournaments” and then “Multi-Table” and you’ll see our table.
Nanook, I sent pokertropolis an e-mail last week to fund you. Are you sure you don’t have $20 in your acct? I’ll send them another e-mail now.
You can go ahead and sign up for the tournament “SDMB - Private” and it’ll let you know when seating starts.
Having pokertracker support would be nice, because then we could record the hands and see where things went horribly wrong, but I don’t think any of the sites that pokertracker support allow groups to set up private tournaments like pokertropolis does.
As soon as x-ray vision adds your pokertropolis name to the SDMB group, you should see it under the tournaments / multi-table section. Make sure you get him your name and account number ASAP, though, as it seems to take a few minutes. My problem last week was that I wasn’t added until the last minute, and missed getting in by mere seconds.
I was able to take off early enough from work this week to make it, so I plan to be both rude and grim tonight.
This is mano a mano poker. No crutches allowed!
Rock. I’m in.
Check will be sent tomorrow.
I signed up, not in the players window. I reckon I’m good??
I see you, Duke. Though it’s been about 15 minutes since you posted.
I’m in. I see Dag Otto, he’s got it going on.
Let me be the first to say congratulations to Duke of Rat on his win tonight.
Let me be the first to gloat. 
That $.50 is gonna prolly put me in a nuther tax bracket.
Had a blast, things really happen fast in NL Hold Em. Some of the peanut gallery had me as dead meat. Been a while since I pulled one off, feels great to get a win.
Great going everybody, got the target on my back again. Hope to see the whole crew again next week!
Naw, Duke…we’re all pulling for you!

Yeticus Rex: Nook has been known to skip an occasional bathing session
kyyrewyyoae: pistols at ten paces
CapnPitt: Nanook, I suggest you slap him with your white glove
Yeticus Rex: He is environmental conscious and part French, so it goes without saying
CapnPitt: He reeks of seal blubber
Yeticus Rex: that bathing is only absolute must when people start dying within 10 feet of him
j24882: No comments on me getting into first?
CapnPitt: Is trying to incite a riot, rude?
kyyrewyyoae: is the seal blubber smell because of the environmental concerns, or …other?

Yeticus Rex: Now asterion’s got the scapal out and is becoming a surgeon here Mike

AugerXPR: Oh give me a break
AugerXPR: I’ll take em!

kyyrewyyoae: how high do the blinds go?
Yeticus Rex: through the roof, Kyy

CapnPitt: Well you know what they say…
Yeticus Rex: Duke is being offered last rites
CapnPitt: Seal blubber is a dish best served cold
Yeticus Rex: on his death bed at Nook’s Hospital for the stinky
NorthShoreNanook: he’s not dead yet!
NorthShoreNanook: or should I say he’s only mostly dead?
Yeticus Rex: Dr. Asterion has been put on sabatocal
IronChefCliff: you shouldn’t wish that on anybody
CapnPitt: Dr. Asterion’s had his license revoked
dag otto77 has entered the room.
j24882: Yeah! Back in it!

CapnPitt: Duke is suddenly playing like royalty
Yeticus Rex: Duke has his say in the grievance hearing
j24882: I had him!
CapnPitt: That’s some malpractice suit!
Yeticus Rex: his hospital bed is not to be given up yet
AugerXPR: F’rs write me off
Yeticus Rex: as a matter of fact, he got out of the bed and is starting to kick staff in the arse
j24882: Pocket rockets ain’t supposed to lose like that.
CapnPitt: Yes Mike, it must have been Amber Bock in the IV
Yeticus Rex: WE HAVE A BATTLE ON OUR HANDS
CapnPitt: Don’t talk to me about AA losing
CapnPitt: that’s how you got my cash!
Yeticus Rex: Right Vince, it wasn’t that Code Blue Labatt’s running through is veins
AugerXPR: See ya
NorthShoreNanook: wow again
CapnPitt: And Duke dispatches the Doctor
Yeticus Rex: It was Michelob Amber Bock…the best IV fluid on the face of the Earth!
NorthShoreNanook: ok duck, lets go
xry88: double wow again
Yeticus Rex: I guess that makes Duke a Lawyer
CapnPitt: Duke ascends to 5 digits
j24882: Man, I’m gonna miss this.
Yeticus Rex: A Lawyer that want’s to own a Hospital!
Yeticus Rex: asterion, make work work around your schedule
CapnPitt: Tell your work to suck it
j24882: I wish I could. But I’ve got to work when there are openings.
CapnPitt: suck it long and suck it hard
Yeticus Rex: It’s an epic battle between the Hospital and a gunslinging Lawyer
j24882: We’re talking about 50 dollars a day instead of 50 cents.
dag otto77: we’ll raise the stakes for you
CapnPitt: it’s called getting a grip on priorities
j24882: Exactly, Capn.
j24882: Hey, later this year. I promise.
Zavtra1 has left the room.

NorthShoreNanook: Out kickered me
Yeti, you left out the post game wrapup, which centered on the use of our official sponsor Michelob Amber Bock as a personal lubricant. I’ll be sure to have some on hand for next week’s contest.
Well, when Sally Struthers is involved…let’s just say…I deny everything.
