Why? Does ATT not reconnect your phone until payments after Noon?

I made the final table last time and it took about 12 hours. I have you & Daryn down for the breakfast and tourney (just got a txt from him).

As it stands ATM rooms downtown are running about $60 for Sat the 29th. Thinking about getting a room and making a downtown night of it.

Yeah I've considered that too for both Fri & Sat night. For some reason Fri is actually more expensive than Saturday

Just another bump for Poker Church today from 2-5PM. We've been getting some great turnouts, some great discussions. So, I hope to see you all there again! Everyone is welcome, PM your number to get on the alert list.

For all my Poker Church buddies - this week I will not be at the meeting. I have run a successful stake sale and I'll be doing two Bellagio Five Diamonds events this weekend.

But the meeting will still go on! I have asked Baconmaker to facilitate the meeting in my absence and he has graciously agreed.

I'll still be sending out the txt alerts and answering questions, I'll just be down the street at the Bellagio behinds stack & stacks of checks I can't even see over . . .
12-03-2014 , 04:06 PM
See U @ Bell...

If I bust out in time for Poker Church then that means I'm going to have a helluva bad beat story to tell and that's not what Poker Church is for
12-04-2014 , 05:23 PM
Like busting AA vs JJ in a huge MTT? That would suuuuuuck...

merely a flesh wound could be worse, some people have a curse of sick beats coming right on bubbles, I have been fortunate enough for it to be early enough to not care or late enough to be at least post bubble.

true but maybe we can deconstruct the hand. jk, I think you go deep unless cooler situation and those aren't good for much strategically speaking other than to highlight the variance side of the game

I'm awake! I'm always awake for you guys :-)

Besides, Scott's only mad that he's on my 630am list - it's a one person list

I'm perfectly fine with it. I think Scott's the only one that has messaging issues :-)

Besides, yesterday went out at 11:30 am.

Thread sucks without pics. Pics of meetups and tourneys is now MANDATORY

Not in Vegas yet but will be in a few weeks. I don't know a single person in Vegas, hope the Church is still running when I get there to meet you guys.

I've never forced pics on the group and I don't see that changing. The goal is to create a good group for poker discussion, not an photo album. Your entire life doesn't *have* to happen on Instagram you know if members want to take pics that's fine, but we're usually too busy talking about poker.

You're welcome to join us any time. I've pledged to be there every Sunday from 2-5 and I'll keep showing up as long as one other person is there. It's been going great so far and anyone is welcome.

POKER CHURCH!

I want to take a quick temperature check on an idea: I read a really fascinating article on Magic The Gathering this morning. So fascinating, that I've even ordered the 2015 collection from Amazon. Article:http://theconcourse.deadspin.com/mag...1/+robharvilla

Is there any interest in devoting a meeting to other card games, like Magic? Do we have any Magic experts among us? It might be neat to at least get a primer for the game. Sounds strategic like poker and I'm NOT a fantasy/sci-fi guy at all - but Magic sounds like its a lot more than just "wizards & spells".

Any interest in this? Just looking for a temperature check on this, we'll schedule this for a future meeting if there's interest.
