i would think during the rebuy period, if you "speculated" a little, but didn't go completely loose-maniac, you could easily triple or quad up.

i did know is was the symbol for pounds stirling, but in my heart, i know that the real currency in the UK are scones (just as the real currency in Canada are beaver pelts).

But beaver pelts are more valuable than Canadian dollars, Fish. 
Congrats! Good to hear that you did so well this time.

Ah but is it fruit scones or plain scones we are talking about here? Fruit scones are much more sought after than the plain variety. There are rumours circulating that casinos in Leeds play poker using Yorkshire Puddings rather than the usual scone currency - shocking!
Afraid I cant comment on the situation in Canada but beaver pelts sound like a good investment. Along the same lines I assume you all play using doughnuts in the US?

only if they're krispy kremes. hmmm, the stability of the US dollar versus krispy kreme doughnuts - clearly, it's the doughnut!

Wow - doughnuts are more stable than US dollars. If I send you a crate of doughnuts can you send me a crate full of US dollars in exchange - preferably full of $100 bills
Well I haven't got another poker tounament for 2 weeks and I can't stand online stuff as it winds me up with all the river chasers. I'll just have to keep posting on this board to satisfy my poker needs.
I'm off to butter some more scones!

I'll trade my Canadian Dollars in for Beaver Pelts anyday.
I'm Canadian and I'm not liking our dollar rising against the US.
Cashout 100$US - Used to be about 140.00$CDN last time it was 128$CDN, that sucks.

Hey Rip, shouldn't there be a link to the other thread or a note that it's been split as i can't see a way of getting to the original thread from here.

Good split, Ripp. But you need to add the moderator note right at the top of the first post to notify readers of the split.
I added the note. You do this by clicking on the EDIT button at the top right of the post. See the first post now. Also, notice that there are spaces before and after the URL. This is so the colon and bracket do not become part of the URL link.

Good split - no complaints from me. We did digress a little into suspect currencies which have little to do with poker - apart from the fact you goota play for something. By the way - I'm thinking of hosting a Texas Hold 'em fruit cocktail championships early next year if anyone is interested - minimum entry - 400 pineapple chunks.
