After taking most of the summer off, Poker 2.0 blasted into fall this month with one of the best events yet. While every event spawns new relationships, I was pleased to see a higher-than-usual rate of sharing business cards and sharing business ideas. And with more than 30 in attendance, we hit an all-time high pot size. First place went to Randall Lucas of Voyager Capital. Normally we like to complain when the investors take home the big money, but we'll let Randall off the hook this time since Voyager Capital was such a gracious sponsor of this month's event -- thanks Voyager!! As first-place winner, Randall also earned the pleasure of helping to schlep the remains of the party across the street to the iMedExchange offices. Second place went to poker newby Jacques Crocker of WhiteLabelApps.com. Whether Jacques was really a newby or just hustling the bunch of is unclear... he was sure toying with Randall near the end! Third place winner was Karim Varela of i-booze.com. As a show of support to Karim's pretty-darn-cool company, the beverages for next month's event will be delivered by i-booze. Fourth place went to Galen Ward of eStately.com. Galen also showed good form by hanging around till the bitter end to help schlep!
There are some special surprises in store for next month's event but those will have to remain a secret till then....

Thanks for hosting another fun event -- and, thanks to Voyager for footing the bill -- always appreciated!
See you next month... and, my suggestion of the month... let's cut back on the re-buys... maybe few rounds of them and/or fewer chips for re-buys? or, cap the # of them? I'm pretty sure 30-40% of our first 40 hands we all-ins :-)
OK... back to the salt mines...

Bob, thanks for hosting -- I must qualify the win by noting it was only after 20 or so buy-ins over the last three Pokers 2.0 that I finally placed in the money!
