Would be great to take part in one of these Maybe if I posted some more important poker thoughts/knowledge I might get picked Eg. "I have not ever tried this and really don't know what it is. I am not good enough for it I am sure because it sounds hard, but maybe in a few years I might be, I don't know. I might not even do the online thing I like playing with real people it is more fun for me."

There are no rules, just type what poker thought is on your mind.

The nice thing is you do not have to start a post to get into the game. A good response can win a seat. There is a good amount of interesting posts here, find one that you can relate to and start typing. There are neat, cool people here, enjoy. We have a variety of poker experience here, no poker thought goes unturned.

We all Love poker, more thoughts are always welcome.

Later,

They probably just picked Carrie's post because she's new and hasn't had a chance to play.......Ya gotta take it easy on her Irish.......she's really just trying to get the hang of things. Look at it this way, if she were able to play, it'd probably be an easy win for you LOL (Sorry Carrie but it's true )

It just sucks because they picked it on the weekend that we are going out of town

It's probably for the best anyway that we don't play together.......she'd be asking me questions and I don't like to not answer her, but I also don't like to essentially double team in a tournament, if you know what I mean. It wouldn't be fair.

Good luck to all that play........and for those who usually use the Chat option, I apologize, but since we will be out of town, I will not be able to open the Chat.

However, whomever has created the Meebo account can create a temporary room in which to chat until next weekend.

Best of luck all.......have a great tourney!

Well, I really screwed that one up. I should have just folded my way to the $30... instead I had to play. I couldn't see you having all those hands when it was essentially 2-handed.

I'm really upset with myself and how badly I played that.

I did catch the cards exactly when needed. Hopefully we both get another opportunity.

Later,

Thanks Rakeback................

Vito, Mikey, and I were the only people registered. Mikey never showed up... I still managed to lose and go out third while he sat out. Vito got 1st... he got 2nd.

I have done dumber things... but I can't think of many.
