Wonder what he'll do when Holder tells him the high gas prices are due to violence and unrest in the Middle East? Send in some more drones?

He's done enough.

opened up and successfully funded an account at lock poker yesterday. nice simple interface. and there is almost no one there. the wait for a $20 single table is 30-45 minutes to get 10 players registered. it's like being in a poker room as 3am all the time. good luck to anyone that likes to multi-table.

it was really fun sending cash via western union for the first time. nice 4% rake paid right off the bat. hope the withdrawals are easier. it might take a while to find out though since i already dropped $44 my first two tourneys. i so good.

just in case any on-line poker players want to follow my lead, don't. horrible tournament structure unless you're a fan of super-turbo's. 10 minute blind increases. 8 minutes at the single tables.

you might as well play the lottery.

can't really tell you much about the ring games. those aren't my strength. i played a little and and lost. just won a $20/10 person single based on nearly everyone pushing all-in constantly at level 7 and above and getting lucky. in this structure that play actually made some sense.

i'm still down $40 and don't think more play will be profitable. cashing out and will see how that goes.

Stars opened up their cashier to allow everyone to take a mandatory cashout for your account balance.

did anyone else get their "notice of remission" from the claims administrator?

mine would up in my spam folder and had been sitting there since mid-september. I just filed.

wondering if anyone else has seen this.
