I finally gave in and have tried online poker for money. I've signed up at Ultimate Bet. Wow, do they have a nice referal bonus. I didn't know how I'd like it, so I only put $40 in. Well, since I put down my friend Amy as referring me, I got a 50% deposit bonus, so $20 free for me, and she gets a 100% bonus on my deposit, so she got $40! So, if you are thinking of trying online poker, feel free to sign up at UB and put me down as a referal! My screen name is Weefle.

I played one game last night, a $5.00 + $.50 6 person sit-and-go tournament, and promptly made $21. I could get to like this. 8-)

Another fun poker weekend. On Saturday six of us decided to play a game for fun, and late in the game, when I already had 2/3 of the chips in play...I runner runner my first straight flush. Too bad the game was only for fun... 8-)

And then last night Julie and I went to play at Badger Poker as usual. She's starting to get friends there, and we have several friends that we get to come on a regular basis, so that's pretty much our Monday night thing now. Anyways, whenever we play there, I always sit at a different table from Julie. I just think it's counterproductive for us to be playing against each other. And when the average field is 120+, that's not hard, and last nights 124 was no exception. Well...it was right up to the point where we were forced to the same table...because we both made the final table. I could probably ramble on about that table for a while, but the short version is my cards got cold and I went out in 5th, and Julie hung around for a little while longer and took 3rd. A very good night for us both.

And now back to my regularly scheduled digital janitor work...
