thanks brother...

im happy to discuss anything with you re paradise on a pm or email...my main goal is to maximize the amount of big pots i win and minimize the amount of big pots i lose. sounds elementary but its working...last nights, 2 full stacks from pushing the nuts witha straight.

got my chat back by the way.

i am going to disembowel harley tonight - what was that bitch saying after i took my 4.5x stack to bed last night?

Nothin TOO harsh... He just said somethin like "I guess Allstar is pissed" or somethin like that right after you left... I happened to catch it, and typed back "I guess he's done assraping the monkeys for today... Don't think he's pissed"... Then, he explained how he was the one that got you kicked off the chat and how you berate players too much and yadda yadda yadda and a bunch of crap that I didn't really care about... To be honest, while you talk some crap to the other players, it's usually poker related for the most part...

When I got WARNED about getting my chat suspended at TGC, it was because someone was annoying me while I was talking to some BTPer in chat, and was referrin to me skullf*cking someone's mom, who he claimed was dead, which only led to about 10 MORE jokes... It got really ugly after a while, but still hilarious... So, he calls an admin, who came just as he was calling me a sick f*ck, and so I tell the admin that I don't appreciate being spoken to in this way, and that he's been talking bad to me, and it's affecting the way I play... It was pretty funny when the admin warned the OTHER guy..

BTW... you should load AIM on your computer... I have a buddy that doesn't have AOL that signed up for AIM... It's free, and would be cool chattin w/ ya while discussing some of the hands we're playin...

is that AOL Instant Messenger?

That Harley is in for it tonight dude.

OK so I got my laptop back yesterday...would have been Monday, but DHL came when I wasnt home. Much props to Dell for a very satisfactory customer service experience.


Anyway - not sure what the last update covered, so I'll bang out all of Jan. to date.
