I hope i can live long enough for the Oilers to bring Stanely back home. Started playing online porker last year and find myself at the felts everynight but have to wait till the kids are done. I play freerolls alot but will be putting a bank roll into fulltilt and maybe PKR. I started playing at Rosso poker and won a few freerolls and have $250 bank roll there. Look forward to meeting you all at the tables Thanks and GL http://www.railbirds.com/rails/PrivateTournies/
