Haha, you guys are old.

Between being card dead and running into flopped sets the actual poker was a bust for me, but it was great to meet ppl from the forum. You guys are awesome - anytime you're dropping by Toronto let me know.

The play at my 1/2 table was - well - incomprehensible most of the time. I had a real donkey just to my left (oh to have been on his left!) - and to be honest I don't know if I've ever seen play this bad before anywhere at any level! I guess my favourite hand (and least favourite actually) would be:

I'm in the cutoff with a number of limpers with AJs - I bump it to $17 thinking to just pick up the limper tax but I get 1 caller. My read on this guy was perfect b/c I could tell when he looked at his cards he didn't like them, but limping was a part-time job for this guy... Anyway, flop comes out K72 rainbow - he checks, I bet, he thinks - looks at what I have left and raises me all in. I call (completely read based - he turns out to be the table bluffer) and he flips over T4o and says "nice call" - of course he hits a 4 and I'm reloading.

Before I started playing online I used to really enjoy playing live - and I still enjoy the home games and fun that goes along with it - but I find that I may never play live poker again in a casino (doesn't mean I won't go and rail my friends though!). It's slow, expensive, slow and the people weren't very nice really - no chatting, no fun... I will try to get to the world series next year because I really want to do that for the experience, but that might be it for me.

I have some pictures that I'll post up tomorrow after I fix the light levels a bit.

depending on when in August it is (I'm going to Nova Scotia for a week) I may be able to pop out for this.

It's Saturday Aug 18th. We usually kick things off about 8:00pm and then usually end up playing through until around 1 or 2am (the tourney usually ends around midnight-ish and the cash game gets lively)

OK, so here's a picture of the whole gang.

From left to right:
Mayhem, me, Invigilator, Robbie Robb, N1kita, and Mrs. Invigilator (who should be joining the forum any minute - nudge-nudge...)

None of my group pics came out very well. Could I PM someone my email and get theirs?
