we should totally get a group for playing with fake money. also, for those who suck. because i have no fucking idea what i'm doing.

― JuliaA (j_bdules), Friday, 18 February 2005 02:44 (nineteen years ago) link

I can't wait until I finish the current work project. Ah'mo play me some cards.

― Curious George Rides a Republican (Rock Hardy), Friday, 18 February 2005 02:53 (nineteen years ago) link

Yay! Enthusiasm!

A fake money game could be quite fun, though I bet we wouldn't see The Nuts there :)

― Markelby (Mark C), Friday, 18 February 2005 10:56 (nineteen years ago) link

is it possible to move forward future games by half an hour?

― ken c (ken c), Friday, 18 February 2005 11:05 (nineteen years ago) link

Why not start the game at 10pm instead, giving me a perfect excuse not to sit through Nathan Barley?

― Dom Passantino (Dom Passantino), Friday, 18 February 2005 11:11 (nineteen years ago) link

Moving games forward would make me significantly more likely to appear on weeknights - often I'm still active at 10 but half-asleep by 11.

― caitlin (caitlin), Friday, 18 February 2005 11:21 (nineteen years ago) link

I'd be cool with that (except on Wednesdays - America's Next Top Model, people).

Dom, did you leave in a huff last night? Caitlin, did you find yr licence?

― Markelby (Mark C), Friday, 18 February 2005 11:22 (nineteen years ago) link

10pm sounds all the better.

― ken c (ken c), Friday, 18 February 2005 11:32 (nineteen years ago) link

Nah, I just cut my losses without saying goodbye. Made it back on another table though...

― Dom Passantino (Dom Passantino), Friday, 18 February 2005 11:41 (nineteen years ago) link

of course i'd play in the fake money games as well. although you would all be jealous of my enormous stack i've built up over the years of playing online.

― Chris 'The Nuts' V (Chris V), Friday, 18 February 2005 12:19 (nineteen years ago) link

My mother: "oh, yes, I filed your driving licence away with your payslips so it would be easier to find." So at least I've got a lead on where it *should* be now.

― caitlin (caitlin), Friday, 18 February 2005 12:24 (nineteen years ago) link

do you know where your payslips are?

― ken c (ken c), Friday, 18 February 2005 12:27 (nineteen years ago) link

They're *supposedly* in a big red filing box on a shelf in the dining room. Apart from the ones that are still in the posession of the Student Loans Company, of course.

― caitlin (caitlin), Friday, 18 February 2005 12:28 (nineteen years ago) link

You do not have the key for this filing box
what now?

xyzzy

― caitlin (caitlin), Friday, 18 February 2005 12:32 (nineteen years ago) link

i wat to play

― phil-two (phil-two), Friday, 18 February 2005 20:33 (nineteen years ago) link

OK then, is it on for 10:00 GMT tonight then? I was playing tournament earlier on and came 24th out of 210, so I'm on a roll. Not a money winning roll, but a roll nonetheless.

― Dom Passantino (Dom Passantino), Friday, 18 February 2005 21:04 (nineteen years ago) link

who took the bump from the bumpalompalomp?

i can play at 10 tonight if people wanna.

― ken c (ken c), Monday, 21 February 2005 17:56 (nineteen years ago) link

Maybe, see how I feel at 10. Hint - if 4 or 5 others are keen I'll probably be up for it, especially if Chris "The Washing Machine" V3nuti (he takes all other players to the cleaners) is unaccountably absent ;)

― Markelby (Mark C), Monday, 21 February 2005 18:08 (nineteen years ago) link

ha.

― Chris 'The Nuts' V (Chris V), Tuesday, 22 February 2005 13:49 (nineteen years ago) link

I've been playing a lot of tournament poker recently. I came 17th out of 291 the other day. So... yeah, if there's a number of us, count me in.

― Dom Passantino (Dom Passantino), Tuesday, 22 February 2005 14:11 (nineteen years ago) link

So, yeah, is this happening? Because I've just been smacking fools around on LadbrookesPoker.com

― Dom Passantino (Dom Passantino), Tuesday, 22 February 2005 20:42 (nineteen years ago) link

wow what's your username on ladbrokes dom?

― ken c (ken c), Tuesday, 22 February 2005 21:36 (nineteen years ago) link

i'll play at 10 if anyone else fancies

― ken c (ken c), Tuesday, 22 February 2005 21:37 (nineteen years ago) link

p.s. it's a shame we can't set up a tournament private table.. it's much cheaper to play that way

― ken c (ken c), Tuesday, 22 February 2005 21:38 (nineteen years ago) link

Juror8, still. The players are a lot less skilled on there. Which is weird, as its the webpage Dave "Devilfish" Ulliot apparently frequents.

― Dom Passantino (Dom Passantino), Tuesday, 22 February 2005 21:39 (nineteen years ago) link

i noticed that too ... it's weird cos it's the one that doesn't have all the cartoon characters

― ken c (ken c), Tuesday, 22 February 2005 21:42 (nineteen years ago) link

hey! anyone up for a play money game at 11 GMT/ 5 CST tonight?

― JuliaA (j_bdules), Wednesday, 23 February 2005 15:13 (nineteen years ago) link

I would be fo sho - it'd be fun doing it for pretend cash for a change (and Ken wouldn't have to worry about me MEGA-PWNING HIM again).

― Markelby (Mark C), Wednesday, 23 February 2005 15:15 (nineteen years ago) link

possibly, i may be too deeply involved in my baseball game though. but im down for some play money every once in a while.

― Chris 'The Nuts' V (Chris V), Wednesday, 23 February 2005 15:17 (nineteen years ago) link

I am good for REAL MOOLAH POKERNATION! Ph34r my big stack!

Unfortunately, I dunno if I'll be around for Fake Moolah Pokeration this evening. If I am, though, I'll be there.

― David R. (popshots75`), Wednesday, 23 February 2005 15:18 (nineteen years ago) link

possibly for a few hands.. i'll need to sleep not long after 11 tho. also i feel i should really save the ultimate revenge pwnage of mark for a real money game

― ken c (ken c), Wednesday, 23 February 2005 16:08 (nineteen years ago) link

I will *try* to get on for a play money game at 11 GMT - watch this space.

― caitlin (caitlin), Wednesday, 23 February 2005 21:36 (nineteen years ago) link

When I was goofing w/ play money, I was dealt crap almost every hand, and when I had face cards, they were abetted by a crap kicker, and when I actually had a decent hand, I was always one-upped. Bastardos. Of course, the WORST thing was it was a limit game (not pot-limit - bet-limit?), so you couldn't flex any muscle by going all in, which stink stank stunk.

― David R. (popshots75`), Wednesday, 23 February 2005 21:41 (nineteen years ago) link

bet limit games are lame

― ken c (ken c), Wednesday, 23 February 2005 21:51 (nineteen years ago) link

(having found that our house's Windows computer does not apparently have Java installed, am desperately trying to download and install the native Windows pokerroom.com client before 11pm)

― caitlin (caitlin), Wednesday, 23 February 2005 22:57 (nineteen years ago) link

i started a private table for anyone who wants to join, i'm julesb74...
(play money)

hope you can get it installed, caitlin!

― JuliaA (j_bdules), Wednesday, 23 February 2005 22:58 (nineteen years ago) link

Caitlin, you can join at any time. Registering doesn't take more than a couple of minutes. Post again if you can't find us.

― Markelby (Mark C), Wednesday, 23 February 2005 23:01 (nineteen years ago) link

It's trundling along - damn my slow internet connection

(my nickname on there is 'gneiss')

― caitlin (caitlin), Wednesday, 23 February 2005 23:01 (nineteen years ago) link

(I registered for play money last week, btu still haven't managed to deposit any actual cash)

― caitlin (caitlin), Wednesday, 23 February 2005 23:03 (nineteen years ago) link

mine isn't letting me run the java app, grrr!

― Markelby (Mark C), Wednesday, 23 February 2005 23:11 (nineteen years ago) link

It looks like it's working - but i can't find you! help!

― caitlin (caitlin), Wednesday, 23 February 2005 23:17 (nineteen years ago) link

No, I can't find Julia either. Hang on, we're sorting it out.

― Markelby (Mark C), Wednesday, 23 February 2005 23:18 (nineteen years ago) link

it didn't seem to sort out, but we should totally play another time when things aren't acting wonky!

― JuliaA (j_bdules), Wednesday, 23 February 2005 23:40 (nineteen years ago) link

Well. That didn't work. Chris, Ken, maybe you can explain this - Julia and I were both setting up tables, but we couldn't see each others anywhere. We then decided to find a small table in the existing play area, but the names of the tables she could see were different from the ones I could see! So we couldn't find anywhere to play at all. Wtf?

― Markelby (Mark C), Wednesday, 23 February 2005 23:43 (nineteen years ago) link

Shall we try again another night?

― caitlin (caitlin), Wednesday, 23 February 2005 23:53 (nineteen years ago) link

Yeah, let's. I ended up having a few hands of play Blackjack instead. I like Blackjack.

― Markelby (Mark C), Thursday, 24 February 2005 00:04 (nineteen years ago) link

the reason for that is because if you are only registered for play money your on a different server than real money.

― Chris 'The Nuts' V (Chris V), Thursday, 24 February 2005 00:26 (nineteen years ago) link

But ... there were three of us, and none of us could see each other.

― caitlin (caitlin), Thursday, 24 February 2005 08:35 (nineteen years ago) link
