Hi Alevin, I got together with some friends on Friday night and played two tournaments and then we all stayed after Superbowl party on Sunday to play two more! Very Fun! Plus I got some valuable real table experience. Yes.. I did mess up a few times... I went out (instead of checking) after all ante's were in when I was big blind. So used to the on-line game telling me I can check....plus the tequila shots and beer didn't help the memory! Also other mistake was to throw in a larger denomination (single) chip when I wanted to raise. In Vegas, if you do that without saying your raising, it means you want change. Uggh...... oh well.. live and learn. These "friends" were not nice to me.... They were all being mean to me .... knocking me down... stealing my chips... very mean indeed.... lol... had fun. Hey ... come to think of it... these poker friends remind me of the ones I play with on Sunday nights on-line!!! Sounds very familiar, I guess all poker friends are the kinda the same!! lol.... so mean and I don't know why as I am so very sweet!!!

awesome Annie, real face to face experience,and fun to boot. I haven't had that yet. Don't know any poker players. maybe someday, for now, I'll play online. I still get my butt kicked there and good, just not when there are tsp witnesses lately.

told one of my closer friends last night what I'd been up to this past year, thought she might disapprove, but she was not only supportive, but highly so. gave me top marks for the effort of learning such a complicated game, one she decided long ago was more difficult than she could handle, tried it when she was much younger and gave up quickly. This is an intelligent woman. she wasn't shining me on, recognized it's an accomplishment to play this game and do it well.

hop skip and a jump...

now now, b. I'm not looking for that kind of game. FRIENDly game, with FRIENDS. that's the game I'd play. Oh, btw, there are so many other possibilities within driving distance if I wanted to go the route you suggest. I'm not up for that. likely never will be. Had my fill of glitzy flashylights casino environments when on TDY in NV, back in the day. the coworkers I traveled with always insisted on us getting rooms in the associated hotels. they liked the free breakfasts and etc. also, I have a local friend whose marriage and finances were ruined by a husband addicted to gambling, and miscellaneous other maladaptive behaviors that have probably killed him by now. She left after 20 years of misery.

game tonight starting in about 45 minutes. there is a software update that adds a few minutes to login time... plan accordingly.

Attitude KO'd Burro, Berry, Gator, and winter, I think. Kuz too? I can't remember. It says 5 KO's so not sure.

you def got me with those tripAs.

my back of envelope notes say gator got kuz and fog out first and second. attitude got the rest. 2 ko's for gator and 4 ko's for attitude, not counting his own bounty.

beware, the envelope i wrote it down on the back of is from a lawyer suing me for a dental bill i dispute. but the wheels of justice turn slow.

Thanks guys. Ya Gator got me. Tom, if you win, Pokerstars gives you a KO for KOing yourself. We don't count that one, since it doesn't make any sense, but thats why it says 5 and you can only remember 4.

I never really noticed the "club points" before, that they were different than the other "points" or where the club points came from. got it now. Last night I didn't have the patience to keep trying to get lost ground back. there's always next week.
