----------------------------------- PokerGuru 24.08.2007, 22:34 THIRD AUG CONTEST: One-eyed faces ----------------------------------- CONTEST One-eyed faces WINNER ANNOUNCED! My dear PCers, Again I have to say I am so sorry to have been dragged away from you again, right when we were getting a good start on some issues. But this time I cannot blame the Poker League. It was the death of a favorite uncle of mine, who lived about 3000 miles away. His large family was spread all througout the country, so the gathering of family turned out to be a rather large and long event. Let me start out once again, now, with the first item on my list being another $30 contest for August. This is a simple one and again, you will be able to see one another's posted answers. Each of you must handle that however you choose to handle it. Then, next, I plan to post two or three quick but hopefully interesting pieces. And then, we will get back to another lesson about playing poker online for a living and what it takes to do it. I might add that I am happy to see more of you making impressive progress in earning money at the tables. You can bet a bunch of other players are by now taking notes on you; that is, if they haven't already memorized their notes taken earlier and now know they will have a challenge on their hands if you are at the table. Amazing how fast a good player's name becomes known to so many. Don't feel insulted if players leave a table when you sit down. Instead, feel respect for them for knowing what they should do, which is to seek another table with players more closely matched to their own abilities. Back to the contest, since I seem to be trying to get the cart ahead of the horse: For this contest, just post your answer to this simple question......Which face cards have only one eye showing? Remember, you must have 3000 PC points to redeem for your $30 prize cash to Neteller, or to wherever we finally get worked out for U.S. players. If you do not have 3000 points, you will receive 3000 points instead of the cash, so you will have them for the next contest you win. Deadline is the last day of August. The winner will be drawn from the names of everyone who had the right answer. All possible winners' names will be placed in my wooden humidor (for cigarettes, not cigars), and the winner will be drawn at random. In THIS case, I may wish Good Luck to you! Which I do! Please post your answers in this thread, below this post. It's good AGAIN to be back among my Poker Crushers, but I am still concerned about some missing members and wish we would receive some news.

When my Great Grandpa died it was very hard for everyone in our family because he too was probably everyones favorite relative. He was one terrific person, and such a character! Always fun to be around him. He could and would always make you laugh and feel good the whole time, every time you were hanging around him. I lived with my Grandma, (his Daughter) when I was a young kid and they taught me how to play poker. I really like to remember times like that. Anyway,... keep your chin up guy, and thank you for the contest. :up: Jack of spades, King of Diamonds, & Jack of hearts thanks again & take care! :) ----------------------------------- beckie33 25.08.2007, 11:55 ----------------------------------- I am very sorry to learn of the death of your uncle.

Before I announce the winner of the third $30 contest winner for August, I WOULD LIKE TO THANK EACH AND EVERY ONE OF YOU WHO ARE STILL HANGING IN HERE WITH ME AND MAKING PC GROW, in spite of USA restrictions (they think) on gambling online! I request that you read the entire announcements of the winners of the first 2 contests, because I talked about some very important stuff! As we reach 1000 members, it is time to "spur our own horses' arses" and make the excitement at PC reach a fever pitch! I dedicate myself to that purpose and can think of nothing better than to have you, the most loyal forum members anywhere, by my side as we work together to "take it to the limit"!!!!!!!! Thank you. NOW: THE WINNER: The winner of this third $30 contest for August, "One-Eyed Faces", whose posts I always enjoy and would love to see more of, is the very sharp-witted: .....$30 .......... spookth Congratulations, spookth!

I will be honing my skills by looking over past lessons though. I have an invitation to the Party Poker $15,000 freeroll, and would love to take a little chunk of that change home with me. I received the invitation by attaining Ace Level in their Party Points program!
