Higgs Date: Tue, 7 Aug 2007 11:17:41 -0700 Subject: [BARGE] Trip Report Mother of all Trips M is for MANY people to thank for looking after and welcoming a clueless, scared, first-timer in the big show, with special thanks to Leslie Walker, Bob Thomson, Eileen and Patrick Milligan and all the Milligan homegamers for supporting and suffering with my game as I learned; to Harry Baldwin my calcutta, er symposium, partner who late in the NLHE tournament joined the table on my right and kept me grounded as I guarded, ok - way over protected, my short stack; to Dave 'Raider Fan' Roberman for starting off the trip so amiably sharing a cab to downtown, to Kevin "Un" Knourek, for unhesitatingly offering a ride to breakfast, to Steve "Ice" Eisenstein for a most delicious breakfast, to Sean "oscar" McGuiness for my first bust-out gift and a really sooper one at that; to Jim "Bullbert" Bullard for buying Harry and me in the calcutta, er symposium, but since Harry finished 8th and I finished an amazing 11th I guess that's thanks enough; to Amy Straghalis for cheerleading the SO tourney that started me on my BARGE poker journey; to Tim "timmer" Stine who kept me laughing with those ridiculous dollar exchanges; and last to Cyberchomp for letting me use his Poker Stars account. O is for the Others I forgot to thank. T is for Two/Four No-Peek Horse game, more fun than ever. H is for Hand Histories I wish I could remember. E is for EV, who needs it when you get lucky. R is for Repeating it all next year. Put them all together they spell - Mother of all BARGEs (until next year) Lynne (aka - Lynsy)
