Yep ditto Best wishes to all!

I just realized the 2K freeroll is at 10am Man......that's gonna be hard on me......I'm gonna have to wake up about 7am to make sure I'm awake enough to play by 10......and I get off work at midnight, so that means I will need to go to bed almost immediately upon getting home tonight I haven't done that ONCE since I started this job....this is gonna be interesting

Man, I can't wait until I am home and have a normal internet connection. Being unable to get online today was killing me. I tried for like 50 minutes.

That was a fun little tourney. Took me a while to get used to the controls as that was the first time I ever played at Nordica. Funny how you took me out, me with JJ and you had... 99, I believe. All-in preflop, you spike the nine and my first thought: "aah, yes... of course". All and all, that was really fun.

Oh, and boilermaker, if you happen to read this thread, thanks for the quick transfer.

LOL yeah sorry about that I really thought you had me when I saw you had JJ....I honestly didn't put you on a big pair tho....when you said "sorry, but I have to shove" I didn't know what to make of it, but thought perhaps AKs or AQs given your position and the stacks....I have run into a lot of players who will say something like that in the chat because they don't want to be called, so given that, I couldn't see you saying that with a big hand....

That was my mistake, but given that it was our first time playing together, and not having enough time to really think it through, I elected to gamble. I'll think twice next time, that's for darn sure.

Glad you enjoyed your first time playing on there. I'm sure you'll enjoy the site once you feel it out. It's been my new home now since April, and all I can say is I wish I had known about it sooner.

Lol, in all honesty, I didn't want you to call me. I absolutely hate JJ, "they lose every time". It's like someone (I forgot, might've been Mike Sexton) once said: "there are three ways to play pocket jacks, and all of them are wrong".

ARRGGHH!!!! I wasn't there because of SO much drama at my house right now. It's getting so bad that I might have to move and find another place of my own to stay at.
