Might make for a nice AV Press reunion. I'm sure we can get a game going, though if I'm playing with you two, maybe we should stick to fake money. ;-) Nicole: I think James is coming to Dalian sometime later in the spring.

I challenge you and Loughrie both to a game when you get stateside (or if I happen to find myself in the Orient anytime soon).<BR/><BR/>P.S. Sorry to hear about your problems with Google's spam filter. If you've been dabbling in web rings and reciprocal linking operations, that's definitely putting you at high risk for Google's spam patrol. Hey Chris: Loved the poker story and picture.

I mean, what do you say? "This is my friend who likes to poke dead people with sticks. He sins for the rest of us." I guess I have said that before, haven't I?<BR/><BR/>We'll definitely get a game here. I think it's becoming a regular thing at the Tin Whistle. James: I couldn’t figure out how to fit that part in.

Hell, I was damn scared of laying money on the line when it was "real" cash. That was the weird thing last night. I wrote it off as a donation to the team, so I went for hands I wouldn't have if I were worried about the money. Maybe that's the trick to it.<BR/><BR/>Oh, and a bit of bad news, since you mention Matt. It seems he took a bad step on his way out last night and broke his foot. Don't know how long he's out of commission. Maybe it's Murphy's Law. I never played back home. Hell, I was damn scared of laying money on the line when it was “real” cash.

I miss playing hold'em with my buddies back home. One of the few things that still pangs me with homesickness is when I hear "...soandso said suchandsuch at the game last monday..." from my buddies.<BR/><BR/>Say hi to Matt for me the next time you're in the Tin Whistle.
