    Just letting you know I've gotten busy with a new project and might not do much better than the normal 20/day for another week or so.

    If I don't pick my rate back up before the month is out I'm fine for us to renegotiate rates to something more befitting a slower payback rate if needed.

    We'll see. Right now, I would think it's taken into account by interest being tacked on after a month. We're still doing that, right?

    You're saying you'd earn less points due to less poker playing? Should be able to do trivia regardless.

    14th.

    Forced all in by a raise when I had KQ. jack matz had A7. Nothing hit.

    Start time of Mitchell match keeps getting pushed back due to prior match going to a third set. Oh well. Gotta go to sleep.

    Yeah still doing that, and I'll get back into it soon anyway, but just thought you might want a little extra interest if we get to end of month and I haven't got anywhere near the target as expected. But I'm all good if you are

    I'm just spending every waking hour working for the moment (big change for me in recent times), so am just playing the daily poker tourney and checking in every now and then. Don't have time for rollover or much betting is all.



    Daily 20 plus 10 tip for my capping talent.

    Take another 5 for Choke beating up Lu. 7-6 and up a break.

    I didn't bet it but you deserve something because I wasn't able to book it.

    A7 hearts in midnight tourney, blinds 100/200, 1,600 chips and change left. I call. pattymayo all ins. Didn't know what to do. I was last to act so could've gone HU with him.

    Folded. Getting blinded out now.

    15th. Wound up in bb with 34 spades. Amazingly, no one raised, but there were like 5 callers. Got to flop, two spades came. I all-ined with the rest of my chips (blind was 300, had 374 left). No spade came. Had a shot. It was a large pot, so if I got a spade, I would've been in decent shape to finally end my cold run.

    11th, 14th, 26th, 15th, 26th

    today every time I went in, someone would call and catch something. First a straight on the river. Then a flush on the river. Just now I all ined the rest of my chips with 77, wtt calls and catches a Queen on the turn.

    Donked out on last try so zero for me this week. :\

    Had an amazing run of great hole cards, but after going up early I kept losing over and again when dominant hand, or everyone folded. Was so weird I am almost tempted to join the chorus of rigged people. LOL

    On final hand was short stack with 15 players left, dealt 88, pushed allin. big stack called, think with K9, and so did someone else, who folded after turn to big stack.

    8 comes on the river and I think I'm about to triple up, but it also makes the straight for big stack.

    Will complete a poker rollover and catch up missed 20s at least over the weekend.

    Haven't had time to scratch myself this week.

    20/39 tonight

    33, no raises preflop, got to see flop. Hit trips, but two hearts on flop (3, 10, 4 flop). NittanyLion all ined on me, so I called. He had J2 hearts and after the all in, hit 7 of hearts on turn. Didn't get a full house or 4 of a kind, which was a possibility.

    Another bad week.

    First QuangX bluffed out of a hand where there were 2 pair out on the table (2s and 6s). I had pocket 8s. I folded and all he had was QK.

    Then I wound up with JJ vs. xxx's KK.

    4 PM (had to play in this one because only other option with my absurd work schedule today was 4 AM) busted.

    Final hand: QuangX's 38 off suit beats my AQ off.

    30/42

    4th, 21st, 22nd, 20th, 30th

    worse than usual with the finishes, although at least I cashed once.

    Looks like my big mouth got me this time.

    I had better update the Raonic/Tomic thread too. Going to do my ass on both these bets it seems so far.

    I have no idea. I tried e-mailing to ask when they could be reinstated but I got no answer. It's tough not having PMs but what can I do.

    just post here whatever you'd PM I guess

    go forth and earn those points

    It's obviously +EV, but I'm sitting it out because I'd have to miss the first half hour, which I think would make it -EV. Wish they'd have them at a different time.

    I'm surprised it's taking so long to fill up. Limited amount of spots should've meant that all the poker players with 200 points or so (the last 20 shouldn't be hard) should've already joined.

    Yeah, only noticed thread today and when I saw only 20 odd people registered I figured half the field might end up being more casual players, so extra +ev.

    Nice job. I was watching the leaderboard. I even went to your table during the break but couldn't type because I wasn't in the tourney.
