"I think the reasons for this tournament setup are many. Weekly interaction with friends, a chance to win a spot into a WSOP tourney, a chance to win on the success of a friend who wins that spot and a chance to win a few bucks every week."

That's exactly right! So, you & the other few who went on tilt when you saw a name you did not know need to just relax next time.

As to...

"If you can't show up on time every week, designate a partner who can."

You are MORE than welcome to take over for me any time you want, Bob. That would free up a good four hours or so I put into this every week.

"This is your baby, make it shine!"

It's not my baby! It's something Todd started & I helped him out. It's everyones "baby" who wants to win a seat in the WSOP $1,500 event & then maybe more. And as far as I'm concerned it is shining. Keep in mind that if you, Dennis & Ron had just played instead of going around wanting to pull out because there were a couple of names you did not know, then we would not even be having this discussion!!! You would have seen that the names belonged to members. You know my feelings & I'm done talking about it. You can have the last word, Bob. Andy - Las Vegas
