Joining the HORSE-y set

I had some time to kill yesterday before Hunny Bunny got home, so I decided to see what all HORSE hubbub was about.
I signed on to a HORSE freeroll on Full Tilt to generally goof off. After all I've never played Razz, played Stud very infrequently (read: twice) and know just enough about Omaha to know that I'm an Omatard Extraordinaire. And you've all seen my skill at Hold Em.
Wow. Is that ever addictive. And perfect for those with a touch of ADD and very short attention spans (read: me).
Now, I know that a freeroll will in no way, shape or form be a good arena to determine one's skill level. Push monkeys, calling stations and retard-o's abound. But I think 316 out of 1800 is pretty damn good for my first foray. It would have been higher, but HB got home after 1.5 hours of this madness. Call me crazy, but somehow hanging with him and eating my Swiss Chalet Festive Special while it was hot seemed far more important than trying to hang on to 27th place to win 2 bucks.
Methinks I'll be practicing so I can jump into any HORSE games that may pop up at the MGM in December *grin

Oh dear kat, a broken link (to Swiss Chalet, you forgot the www) does not become you. :)
Mainly I was chasing it because I couldn't believe that they already had a "festive special" in place -- I thought it might be some faux American Thanksgiving invasion of the true north proud and free, but no, it's just creeping Christmas.
Be sure to sign up for The Mookie - 2nd Chance tonight...it's a $5 HORSE tourney.
Yee Haw !
interesting michael, as I copy apsted it right from the URL window and even ona different computer it works fine.
Alas, they don't heve the Toblerone bars anymore :-( Just lindt truffles.
Must have been a browser thing. Some will infer the www and others (e.g. Firefox, which I use) won't.
Lindt truffles > Toblerone, anyhow.
