<font color="green">I need feedback regarding future SNG game schedules. During KotZ weeks we cannot have the Atlantic and US games on Thursday. Wednesday is not good because we lose too many to WPT. Do you prefer Friday as last week, or all three games on Tuesday?</font>

<font color="blue">I will be on vacation for the three weeks following this one. We need one or two volunteers to start the 9:30EDT "US" SNG games during my absence. Please send a PM if interested and available to start the games and play on May 27, June 3, and June 10 (subject to change pending KotZ schedule).</font>

I prefer loading up tuesdays. It is often my day off.
And as a rookie on the tour please realize I will gladly bow to the wishes of our senior posters.

hyde (dr. jekyl)......last night I played a table with someone named JEKYLLAND HYDE..... it was distracting...

[DrPhysic]

Hyde,
Anybody that shows up regularly IS a senior poster as far as the SNG games go. Yourself included.

Another vote for loading up Tuesdays. I almost got in trouble with my GF for rushing home after a dinner out to play last Friday.

I've really enjoyed these 2+2 games. Thanks again.

[XlgJoe]

I would vote for having all three on tuesday, every week. Just happens for me that tuesday at 8pm is perfect for me.

[VinnyTheFish]

I definately will not be there tonight. Thursday looks good ... don't miss my dead money too much. /images/graemlins/smirk.gif

[codewarrior]

Tuesdays work out best for me as well.

Sorry Doc, but my curiosity has gotten the best of me. For the life of me I can't figure out what hand you're talking about. I remember one key suckout when I had A9s vs AQs and I made the flush on the River but can't place this other hand. Please help me out!

[wayabvpar]

I wonder if Doc is talking about the hand he busted on- Doc had a medium ace with an ace on the board, while Skaboom (I think) had wired 9s. The other 4 board cards? 5678, of course.

[Toro]

Must be, because I called up the hand histories and could not find a hand I played where I hit a runner runner straight.

[Profit]

missed this one, was visiting the ohio state campus. Looks like its been a few weeks since the SNG rankings have been updated..........

[skaboomizzy]

I don't have the hand history in front of me, but...

I raised pre-flop with 9-9, Doc called me.

Flop was A-8-6. I checked it, Doc bet to 300. I honestly thought he was bluffing with the Ace on board, so I pushed in. Imagine my embarassment when he was NOT bluffing at the Ace, and called. Turn 7, river 5 to finish my 9-high straight.

I apologize profusely. /images/graemlins/grin.gif

[DrPhysic]

Toro,
I apologize. It was not you. It was Skaboomizzy. Here's the hand:

Seat 4: becca1097 (small blind) folded before Flop
Seat 5: KURN (big blind) folded before Flop

Seat 7: DrPhysic showed [As Jd] and lost with a pair of Aces
Seat 8: d9090 folded before Flop (didn't bet)
Seat 9: makinlarge folded before Flop

When I called his all in with AJ to an A86 flop, he had a pair of 9s. When it was over my aces would have beaten his 9s, but it is very hard to bead a RUNNER, RUNNER, RUNNER, RUNNER, 5,6,7,8 board. Nice hand Skaboom, it worked, and I'll be glad to give you another 500 chances at it. And before anybody bothers to rub it in, yes I know calling the 270 bet pre-flop with AJo was at best a bit speculative.

I will also gladly throw my hat in the ring for a Tuesday game.

And since I'm still a bit new here, what is the Zoo game?

Thanks.

[Kurn, son of Mogh]

King of the Zoo is a series of multi-table tournaments begun last year by the posters in the *Internet Gambling* forum (aka The Zoo). Every third Thursday on 'Stars at 9:00 PM ET there's a tournament. The next one is June 3, PLO $20 + 2. (The Hold'em events are $30 + 3, the non-Hold'em ones are $20 + 2)

Do a search on "King of the Zoo" or "KotZ" or PM EMarkM for details (this may be the slowest way to find out right now, he's playing in the WSOP).
