I can play, until I’m too drunk to see the screen anymore 🙂 I haven’t played HU ever I think, so we’ll see how it goes. I so much wanted to go to a B&M casino tonight, but my kids’ mother would freak and I’d have to self-quarantine for 14 days before my kids could come over. Guess play money on Poker Stars is what I can get. ---

LOL, take what you can get! FYI, you have to be a lot looser in HU. There aren’t many hands bad enough to just fold preflop without even limping or calling a small raise. If you flop bottom pair, you’re probably ahead. ---

No problem, I know what to do 🙂 I take back my earlier statement, played heads-up at the end of many tournaments. ---

Now that two of us are registered, anyone else who wants to jump in: late registration goes until midnight Eastern. Going forward, would we prefer a regular weekly game (starting a little earlier) to be on Wednesday or Friday? ---
