Mystery Prizes

I got an email a couple weeks ago from DHL saying that they had received a pickup request from PokerStars for me. I thought it was odd since I didn't order anything from Stars, and haven't played there in months so I certainly couldn't have won anything.

I forgot about it until today when I got an email from PokerStars saying that my order had shipped. They gave me tracking numbers for two items. I have no idea what they could be. I guess I'll know in a few days.

In other news FullTilt is trying to woo me back by offering a $75 bonus. I don't even have to deposit anything. Just login press a button and then work of the bonus. But I had to claim it by yesterday and I managed not to. To be honest I intended to play some this weekend. That bonus offer was just the thing I needed to motivate me to play some. Or so I thought. I got busy with other things and forgot about poker until tonight when I realized the bonus had expired. Oh well. Maybe next time.

In other other news our monthly game is this Saturday. Turnout is looking weak though. A number of the regulars have already bailed. Has poker's popularity really dropped that much?

For those of you counting at home, I'm on now pace for five posts this month. Almost 6. Stupid short months. Who wants to take the over on number of posts I actually get out? Come on. You know there's going to be at least one after Saturday's game. And another when my mystery package arrives. That means I would only need three more posts to hit the over. And only two for a push. Come on I'm not that lazy. Am I? On second thought don't answer that.
