The smaller, newer kind that a dog could very well just pick up and run away with?

Exactly!

Has that happened to you Vester?

Nah, I don't own a PS2. :D

It's a cute mental image, though. Fetch! Fetch the playstation! ;D

I have my blocky PS2 from 2001 still.  It can't watch DVDs though because that laser thing doesn't work, but it still plays games well.

So I'm back, and it's nice.

I won another poker game, but it wasn't that exciting since I got a CRAZY number of great hands.

Heck, I won one hand with an ace high. I truly believed I was gonna lose that hand, but nope, ace high.

Friday everyone! Today I'm going to try to spend alot of my spare time, once class is done, to finish up my short story in Creative Projects.

Also, I have another idea for a shortstory, so I might type a little of that as well. I'm telling you all so I don't forget, it's really important.

In other news, I think I'm getting better at Ping-Pong. However, my foreswing (or whatever you call it, the opposite of backswing), and if a person just focuses on my right side, and I'm forced to use my foreswing over and over, I find it really difficult and I'm apt to screw up. I like to think that I have a really good backswing, but this weakness has cost me more than one game.

Ok, dude... I know it won't be the same as playing IRL (being unable to see people) but we HAVE to get a couple of B12ers and set us a private table in www.triplejack.com

Do a little private tournament, perhaps? XD

After briefly testing out the website, I just gotta say:

YOUR ON ALEX! I'll make the topic, I'll clean you out!

Though, I still need to figure out how the website works exactly, so I don't screw up. There also seems to be 'side-bets' which I'm not positive with how they work.

Wanna bet?  :D

Side bets are irrelevant... They don't add anything to the game, it's just to entertain players who are already out.  It's a extra score that doesn't influence on the amount of chips you have.

Alright, one thing I can't seem to decipher is if it's not a gambling website, how come there's two lounges labeled with things like "10K maximum/minimum" or stuff like that? Do you get points for winning games? And do I get more fake money? Can I run out of fake money? The game doesn't make these things clear at the start.

I'm finding out that writing is slightly harder than I anticipated it would be, since my newly gained friends keep bothering me to hang out with them.

I'm writing right now though, so no worries. Well, trying atleast. It doesn't help that the library (which has the only computers that I can use) is always playing modern music, which is bothersome to my train of thought. I like to type in silence dangit.

I've never understood that either.  Our shop has a radio and everyone wants it on when we work except me.  Majority rules though.

I'm the one who turns the radio on.  Can't work without my classic tunes.

10k max and min relates to betting so that you can't force people that have earned 5k to play all their money at once... they're just blinds.
I think that only power players can play in tables of more than 10k but I'm not sure.  It's not so relevant after all. 
You get points as a statistic but it doesn't affect your money.
You can run out of fake money but you can also always buy in for 500 fake bucks again.  You usually have a minimum time between buy ins.
