Another great cash game on Wednesday night -- we expanded to 4 players and played for about 2.5 hours or so -- but we got in around 250 hands, which is awesome. Eric won a couple big pots, Greg Mario took a BRUTAL beat (all in with the straight and a flush draw against Jer's set of Kings, but river paired the board), so the final tallies:
Schuldt +148
JerMario +92
BP +5
Greg -245
Just FYI guys -- the cash game structure is really working well, probably as good or better than tourneys. Very small blinds ($0.50/$1) and you can come and go as you please, and you can buy into the game for as little as $20, so it's a pretty good time.
We'll try to play more cash games, as well as set up our inaugural tourney.

Inaugural Cash Game a Huge Success
Well our initial cash game on the Poker Academy Site was a great success. Sprite, Jermario and I played a cash game -- buy in $40-$100 (max $100), blinds were $0.50/$1 and played for about 2 hours. As with anything, there are probably tweaks that could be made to the software, but all in all it was great. You play tons of hands b/c it's automated (no shuffling etc), and the chats come up on the table as well as in a separate window (though it bleeps out swearing -- I don't know if we can change that).
I've opened "accounts" in a master spreadsheet, so the first entries will be:
Mario: +$4
Sprite: -$38.50
Porter: +$34.50
Looking forward to the next game guys -- the blinds are small enough you don't need to risk a lot of your cash to get in the game

Welcome to the Durham Pals Poker Blog!!!
Greetings All -- Welcome to the Durham Pals Poker Blog. Here we'll keep track of the results of our group's online play via Poker Academy -- as well as razz players that we've just beaten. A few initial rules:
Each player, when joining the group, will establish an initial bankroll. Being a gentleman's game, we will assume that all players are good for their debts. All banking records to be kept on a master spreadsheet by Bill Porter, and posted after each game.
The minimum payout shall be $250. To execute a request, email must be sent to Bill Porter (bill.porter@skylakedevelopment.com), who will monitor requests, determine who is responsible for payout, etc, and will forward a CONFIRMED REQUEST to the PAYOR. If a player requests a payout, the player with the lowest bankroll (or, in other words, the greatest amount of losses) will be required to cut a check in the payout amount. This check MUST BE CUT WITHIN 48 HOURS OF A CONFIRMED REQUEST. In no event shall a player be required to cut a check that will require his balance to exceed his initial bankroll -- in the event that the Confirmed Request would result in an overflow, two players may be required to cut checks.
To be included as a Durham Pals Poker Blog, play must have occurred online and results must be reported within 1 day to Bill Porter.
