Hello. It is now Monday. In two days ... in around 54 hours, it will be time to play another Gauntlet game. I am ordering you to play.
I think we should make a goal. How about four tables? That's 36 players. We can do that! 36 cool FTR people playing at 4 tables in Poker Stars. What an awesome thought! Money! Glory! The exciting prospect of knocking out Gnomes and Bob! And you can knock ME out! And then say that you play poker better than a girl!
Last Wednesday there were only four people. That's just silly. These games are awesome guys! This Wednesday we're gonna have NINE TIMES more people when we have 36 players. I'm so excited!!
Can you do me a favor? See my signature down there? Click on the link and read my Gauntlet pep talk. DO IT! You know you want to! Read it! And then log into Poker Stars, type in the password, and register for the game. If you are not registered for the league, do it now. Go the Gauntlet forum: http://www.flopturnriver.com/phpBB2/...ic.php?t=22258
Everyone who is planning to play, REGISTER NOW! That way people can see who's playing and say, "oh cool, there's actually people this time, I'll play too" and then they'll register. And it's a domino effect! We'll get 36 people! YAY!!
In 5 hours I will be home. And I will log into Poker Stars and register for this Wednesday. Because I am playing. And you are too.
Thank you.

No one wants to play just for you to suck out on them on the river.

I can think of a few hands just off the top of my head 
She just wants to build a big point pool to try and take the lead with her luckboxiness. Don't be fooled!

YOU ARE RETARDED!!
1. GO REGISTER. It's not rocket science. I even linked to the page in my initial post. CLICK IT.
2. Can you transfer to me in Martins? I will lend you money.
3. You are not playing to win the trophy, you are playing to bust Bob and Gnomes out so that you can become their arch enemies. You are also playing to bust me out so that you can admit you're better than a girl. And it's FUN dammit!
4. I WAS BLIND STEALING WITH THAT 62o

I can think of about 95% of the world's male popular that would enjoy this. Especially if it's a cool night.

I would play but I never signed up for the Gauntlet, and it will cost me half my BR to play. Then everyone will know how bad I am, its easier to fake good hands then post them.

I am living proof that some pretty terrible poker can occur in these games ...
Oh and the simple solution to your bankroll problem is to win the game you play in

You had AK that hand? You had been playing pretty tight, like myself, so I pegged you on a range of something like AJ++ TT++. The plan was for everyone to fold, including you. If you were to call, I probably put the rest of it in if you check to me assuming the flop didn't have horrible texture. Then the other guy pushes over my reraise, you fold, and I'm pretty much forced to call with any 2 there strictly based on pot odds. I was praying he had AK and my cards were live...
I havn't said it 'til now, but the K8s was more of a 'I'm not gonna fold so don't raise my BB' type of hand. Sorry about that one bob.

If you play, Gnomes, then Bob will be forced to play ... because I'm making sure this field is bigger than usual, dammit And then there will be a bounty on you!
You're probably right Lukie, I definitely had a high ace. Playing tight in these games hasn't been working for me ...
