Been there, dreamt that!

Online play is so different though. You completely lose the stare downs and "tells" you pick up from sitting across the table from your opponent. You're right though, I'm playing on Full Tilt now and doing horribly!

RennD has played in them before. Not sure how he did though, however I've played with him, he's a good player, well, I lasted longer in the tourney than he did, but he's still a good player! :headroll:

online and regular play are totally different animals. I play fairly well live but online not so much.

I would love that to happen. When he would say "You are a bad poker player" I would laugh and say "You just got your a$$ beat by a bad poker player with no experience" :rolling:

Yeah you know, I did great that week too (walked away with a lot actually) but you know, Carl is a good player. He didn't win that particular game, things don't always go your way, right? But I thought it was PAINFULLY obvious that he was the most skilled and practiced player there.

I wouldn't wanna face him in a tourney, I know that much. :agreesmil
