You got me dominated

So give me some ducks

a flush for either of you would be just brutal.

I'd find nothing brutal with a club flush

You did hit a 2nd 5 on that turn 2 hands ago... I'm scared

I have a new excuse for the delay! I built a new PC and while getting it up and running (Windows 7 64-bit!) was relatively easy, my NAS box didn't want to cooperate. Still not sure what I changed to make things worked, but since all the poker stuff was housed on it, it's a good thing it's working now!

My sincere apologies for how things have gone these past few weeks. Certainly not my intent. The next item I see on the horizon is me having house guests staying with me for a good chunk of June. Since work has nullified my ability to take care of this from there, it'll be a challenge to get enough time alone on the computer to TCB with the pOOker. But you'll get my best effort!

Just a quick update. I'm alive. I had a new switch for my PC arrive last night so I can now connect it's monitor again. My daughter is staying with me tonight, so it's very unlikely I get an update in this evening. Thursday (early) morning is a possibility, Thursday evening is not a possibility, and Friday evening is a reasonable possibility.

Just wanted to keep everyone's expectations on the same page.

I know I said I absolutely couldn't make it tonight. Turns out I lied.

Congratulations to Vorret, the Meal 2010 Hold 'Em Tournament winner! And based on the first tournament victory and the runner-up finish in this one, JC Anejo easily has the inside track on player-OOf-the year.

I'll send PMs later today (I'm on my way out right now) with details relating to the winnings.

Thanks, gentlemen, for playing. Hopefully it was a good time (winning money generally is) and that my slow-down at the end wasn't too unbearable.

I'm not starting another tournament for a few months, but likely would run the next one in a style just like this one. If any participants have feedback on these rules (including the winner-shows-one) this'd be the place to share them with everyone.

Congrats Vorret.

Thanks for running the table again Meal.

had a blast and would definitely play again next time

GG all. Nice win, Vorret. I'd play again.

Sweet.
Hopefully I can pull a "jc" and make my way to the final two in the next one

GG JC and everyone involved and a big thanks to you Meal for running this!
