It was a blast again! I just wish it would last longer than 10 minutes. My goal for the next tournament is to finish out of the basement.

Always fun to play in this tournament, especially finishing first last month and second this month .
Got knocked out on the river after leading with pair of jacks to pair of eights till the river when the winner hit his second pair .
See you guys next month, unless there is a Rangers Stanley Cup game on that night.

Whooo hooo! I have had Tuesday night classes since these things started and unable to participate. But not any more - those days are over. I def plan to try to jump into the next one.

Can I still do that even though it is midway through the series? And Lyman, can I email for a crash course in registering and paying the entry fee?

I will be anxious to try to knock Rob De off the throne. Understand that it's far more likely that I'll simply fall off the back end of the poker world unnoticed, but it's nice to at least imagine winning, no?

Definitely enjoyable as always!

I've made 4 out of 5 final tables (including the "demo" tournament), but only placed once.
