Thanks very much looking forward to it. Hopefully computer issues are resolved in time, but so far *knocks on wood* it seems that my poker clients are not affected.

Best of luck to all

Thank you RB for the invite again. I've registered and expect to play. I just don't want my all-in with A/Q sucked out again by A/10. I hope all 12 players are there.

[gamer4life27]

Thanks for the nom everyone. I will try to play this time without any chat. Gl to all.

[Legion III]

I hope Wyte is not sitting on my right again.

[liladypokerpro]

[gamer4life27]

I'm going to have chat on to say hi to everyone, but after that, it's off.

[liladypokerpro]

Okay hun sounds like a plan. Good luck

[gamer4life27]

Thanks. You too.

[frob23]

Man, I can't believe you get that worked up over the chat. Just remember that we're all retarded donks... and that we're talking out of our bums. Then how can it bother you?

[gamer4life27]

I'm sorry, but that was a freakin joke. FIRST HAND! Flop is 10 10 8, and I have 10 9 with frob and someone else in the hand. frob is last to act and he bets pot which is 35. BB calls, and I call. Turn is a J, BB bets 25, I raise to 125, and frob pushes all in. BB thinks for a minute and then calls, and I insta call. BB turns over 10 2 for trips but I have him out kicked, and frob turns over 88 for a flopped boat!

Now don't get me wrong, I'm not knocking your play frob. I'm just so PISSED about the cards. What kind of hand was that!

[liladypokerpro]

That was a pretty sick flop....man....I'm still shocked....

Yeah man, that was brutal. I can't believe your luck. I was just hoping that one of you had a T and was willing to bet I didn't.

You know the cards are horrible when two people get knocked out on the first hand in these things. Usually it's much longer before that happens.

[gamer4life27]

Just goes to show even when I truly need it, the cards never fall in my favor...

[frob23]

Finished in 3rd... should have agreed to the modified split.

Nah... I'd rather play for the full money... myself.

[frob23]

Congratulations PointerJake for taking it down.

And Legion... you suck for taking 2nd from me!

Yeah, that was me in the BB with 10/2. I would have folded to any bet, but it was limped around and I checked, making trip 10s on the flop. That really sux that three of us would get good hands the first hand. I'm mad at myself too for calling the all-in. At the least I should have figured someone had a 10 w/ a better kicker. But how do you fold trip 10s? ... that's poker...

[bowlaman]

man I couldnt play... I got called into work on sunday. I hope I get nominated again soon.
