Aww, just noticed you didn't make it into this one. Yeah... if you could, open the chat and we'll have you there to comment on the play. If not, we could always use my room... but I doubt anyone would come.

It's okay hun. I'm kinda glad to get a break this weekend I've been in 5 in a row, and only played in 3 or 4 of those, so yeah, it was time for someone else to have a shot in my place.

I'll open it up about 2pm EST, one hour before the tourney starts, to give everybody a chance to get in the room.

Default Not Yet

I have not received the PW yet either.

It is usually PMed to us by now. If they forget we will play next week, I hope not, but it is getting late here and rakeback is several hours ahead. The chat thing is set up for Rakeback members to chit chat during the tourney. Nordica has the normal chat, but members have set up the outside one so players can talk once they get railed, you can not chat at Nordica once busted.

Later,

3 weeks in a row, nice. But I have come off a REALLY bad luck streak, making good calls going bad. I know it's poker, but I need to learn to get over it. Hopefully my luck will change. Good luck all.

Bty everyone, my username there is play4pizza.

Well guys, I have somewhere I have to be tomorrow, so I guess it turned out for the best that I was not nominated this weekend Unfortunately this means I won't be able to open the chat because I won't be home I hope you all get the password in time to play...that would be unfortunate if the Mods forgot again...perhaps someone could try cracking it, for lack of a better suggestion...I don't know much else to do, since the Mods are MIA on the weekends...

I REALLY hope I can make this one. I have a CHSPE Test today at 8:30 a.m. It's expected to last 3 and a half hours, so I'm expected to make it, but the max time allowed is up to 1 p.m. or 4 and a half hours. I will try to use my brain to it's ultimate today and pass it extremly fast without failing. Wish me luck everyone. I registered, so if I don't make it, sorry.

you can make all the best plays throughout the game then all it takes is a couple of bad plays and ur out.
Even not making bad plays, when the cards aren't falling right for ya then there's not much you can do.
The cards were coming my way, i just screwed up the last 2 hands and went from 1st to out....lol
All part of the game, you play, you make errors and you learn from your errors, all ends well!
It was a good game. I enjoyed it and I hope I get a chance to play you all again.

It was looking good for me for awhile anywayz...

Yeah, so for this past month of two, making all the right plays, having the best hands most of the time and losing, thats just poker, right? Of fckin course it is! It's just fckin poker! No sence in making a big deal about losing pocket aces against ATC more than 75% of the time online, huh!? Fck no, it's just fckin poker!!
