Scorehero's XBL Poker Night! (UPDATED 9/19/08)

My brother accidentally turned off the 360 when he ment to turn off the ps2. That's why I disconnected. Otherwise, the rankings were:

4th Mushy2008
3rd The2NerdyOnes
with BrainBAM19 and I facing off for first at time of disconnection.

My brother feels bad, but what are we going to do for the rankings?

Obviously, I'm fine with that choice, let's just be sure that Mushy and Nerdy don't mind it. I'd rather not have anyone angry at more for just accepting a win.

Even still, that was quite a game, at one point, both Brian and I were down under $1000, with blinds at 100/200. That we came in at first and second is amazing.

Well it sounds like you guys had fun and I'll go ahead and use those rankings.

I couldn't make it either this week and I've missed my share, but I did have it up on my calendar. :-)

I guess a tip for the folks that want to join in but simply forget at the last minute is to drop a reminder into Outlook or Yahoo (or any PIM for that matter) for noon every Friday. At least that way you get to see it pop up to let you know.

It does seem to be a lot lighter this season. We might put it up for a re-vote between seasons but I think it would be even more confusing if we change the time we play now that we've started Summer.

As always, write your thoughts in this thread.

With regards to the timing issue - it's the fact it's a friday which massively gets me. since I'm the only UK person of course this doesn't affect everyone else, but I'm finding it impossible to stay awake until 1am or later after a full working week.

Given a choice in the matter I would prefer a Saturday evening/night, but that would then overlap the DII night (which for some unknown reason I haven't gone to yet)...

Of course this is just one person's opinion, and it'll be interesting to see what everyone else thinks about a possible time switching.

I've got a couple thoughts about the scheduling. I think it's only natural that during the summer, attendance is going to drop off. People are much more likely to hang out with friends and family. We're also much more likely to spend time outside rather than in a dark room in front of a TV.

It has been suggested that the game be moved to the weekend. I have to contest this idea. The likelihood of me being around on a Saturday night to play poker is roughly zilch. The same goes for Sunday night. Those are the days that I'll be hanging out with friends/family. IMO, the best thing to do is to leave it as is. Perhaps DGP could dust off the Poll button for use here, and see what we all think.

Just my $0.02.

Times that are good for me are:

- Weekday evenings after work. (Except Friday XD)
- Weekends during the day.
- Sunday Evening.
- Saturday Evening on some days.

I'm almost never going to be good to go at 8:00 pm on a Friday. If it moved back a couple hours to 6:00 pm EST maybe but that probably inconveniences the West Coast too much.

Maybe a couple of games during the week could be worked out. A and B leagues? Joint results? It all depends on how many people are missing Friday Evenings due to inability to attend and how many people just don't want to sit in front of a TV as egraves mentioned.

I might be able to play tomorrow so watch out for me (not that I will win). I haven't been on at all this summer.

edit: ok. I CAN play today. I hope that we have enough people for a game.

I would like to partake as soon as I receive my new 360 (in two weeks). My gamertag = S/N, so RLKDragon.

I'll be there. I think I've fixed the problem preventing me and DGP from being in the same room, so hopefully... yeah.

Just this past week, I've been having problems with my 360 freezing during just about every game I play. I doubt that poker will be any different. That, along with the fact that I'm eating dinner out with the family tonight, and I have decided to sit this week out.

I know, that's horrible when I'm the only ranked player (EDIT: apparently, the minimum for ranking is 4 instead of 3. My bad. The rest of the sentence still applies.), with a win ratio of 67% and an ITM ratio of 100%, but that's just what I've gotta do. Sorry...

I have also decided to sit this week out, I don't know, I just don't feel like playing today....odd. Sorry guys. :/

Also, I might be starting a driver's ed course Monday for the next two weeks, and if that's the case, the time it will be going on will cut directly into poker(it's Monday-Friday for two weeks I believe). So in that case, if I end up taking it, I won't be here for the next two weeks.
