and there is a difference even in "side" games on-line & in person. I am going to Las Vegas this weekend with the intent of playing in both live tournaments and live "round tables". It should be interesting....

With regards to The ChipBoard tournaments (as well as in all of my poker play), I am working on being more consistent -- and PATIENT !!. I have had my share of both bad play/good luck and good play/bad luck, but I believe that it is all part of the game. I am pleased with my overall performance, as I did not think that I would fare well against most of you (Andy & Jay can confirm this and may someday share it with you -- hence, my "nickname" above ). Take care, Paul...and good luck!! Steve B
