Default Can you believe this!

This afternoon I click into a little 16 person tournament to hone my immeasurable skills. The tournament starts and I notice that PS's software is a mess. I can see the other players cards. Being a fair guy I let all the players know, and then I look closer and their software dealt us each 3 cards. Again I informed the players, but they didn't seem concerned.

Finally, one of them let me know I was in a seven card stud hi lo tournament. I looked at the top of the screen and sure enough that was the problem. Apparently when I clicked on the tournament the little scrolling bar had jumped, and I was in the wrong place.

Well what to do now. I can't unregister so I figured I'd play it out even though I have never played stud like this. Buttons like "bring in" are popping up at me, and I have no idea what to do! So while I am playing I am also reading the rules on the web. Now while this might seem a little odd, and maybe even interesting, that isn't the best part of the story. For that, see the results below!

Jim

LOL, that is funny as a crutch! They must have thought you were "Jethro" and just bought a PC or something. Good thing you are a fast learner...

Another tidbit to file under "How to fool idiots on Poker Stars"

That is a funny story. Boy, I guess you sure did feel dumb...for a while, anyway...
