    Request for design help

    Alright Sonix, I threw some stuff together. I also used Steve's design in some of them.

     

    Keep in mind, the website I like to use to create shirts is customink.com. I've been creating shirts for myself on that website since 2009, and I always had positive experiences with them. I'm not sure how their prices compare to other places, but their regular tshirts are usually the cheapest, then the prices increase for whatever different kinds of shirts you opt to use instead. You also get a bulk discount, so the more you buy, the more you save. You can also add names and numbers to the back of all shirts.

     

    I'll email you more info, but here's pics of some of what you can do...

    ALL credit to Steve for the design used in the shirts above. ^^^^^^^^^^^^

     

    In the designs below, I just simply used stock images on customink and stock fonts

    You can, of course, make changes to any of these designs, even take out the word "Bar" if you're not too crazy about it.

     

    If you want me to make something different if you have any ideas, let me know. I'm off work tomorrow anyway. :)

    Hey Steve, I liked your design, so I used it in some of the proposals I came up with. All credit goes towards you. :)

    I can help you later tonight. I work a 10-8 shift today, but I can try and whip something up later. :)

     

    I come up with custom designs all the time for tshirts for myself, and I'd be happy to whip something up for you for free. :-) I'll give you more info late, but in the meantime, does your team or sponsor have any certain color scheme you'd like? What are your team colors?

    Totally missed this draft, but I don't hate my team.. My greatest fantasy successes have come from auto drafted teams.. I need a stud SP though..

    Wow, you missed the draft? I'm glad you still like your team, though. :-)

     

    If you'd like to have a second chance at a draft, I have another 20-team league, that is not associated with Soxtalk, that still has 3 spots available. It's the SZBL: Strike Zone Baseball League and 2012 is it's 7th season. A couple managers from last year joined one of our new dynasty leagues and decided to no longer play in the SZBL as. Result. It's a shame, because the SZBL is the granddaddy of all my leagues. :-) Our live online draft for the SZBL is on Friday March 23rd at 8:15pm CDT. Let me know if you're interested in joining the league and taking one of the last 3 available spots.

     

    (If anyone else that reads this thread is interested in joining the SZBL as well, let me know!)

    Did anyone play in the Chicago Poker Classic at Horseshoe Hammond last week?

     

    I played in event #5, which was a 2-day $240 buy-in tournament that started at 12-noon with 530 players. I survived for 12 hours and 15 minutes before I got eliminated in 49th place out of 530 and won the minimum $429 back. Lol. After 12 hours of playing poker, I'm just glad to walk away with something. I was also a shortstack for the last 8 hours I played, I was just trying to survive and I was absolutely card-dead the entire day. I never once had pocket Aces or pocket kings, and I survived by picking my spots all day.

     

    I also survived an improbable all-in when I had 6/4 offsuit, got a pair of 6's on a board of 9s, 6h, 5c. I was the big blind and I was so shortstacked when there was about 80 players left, and the small blind pushed all-in on the flop. After thinking for a long time, I decided to call and I was relieved to see that the other guy just had a pair of 5's. Lol, survived an all-in with 6's over 5's. Lol

     

    It's also funny how small the poker world can be sometimes. I bumped into 3 players that I played against before in this tournament, and I ended up on the same table with 2 of them at different points. Last year, me and this black girl both got knocked out in the same hand when she and I both had A/J for a pair of Aces when the other guy played 6c/8c for a straight. Neither of us expected him to play that kind of hand due to the pre-flop raises she and I made. Anyway, I ended up on the same table with her again this year when I got moved to m 3rd table, and it was cool seeing her again, it was like seeing an old friend cause we suffered the same fate last year. After that table, I got moved to another table where I bumped into a guy I used to play in a poker league with for 2 years. He and I were so short-stacked that we didn't get a chance to butt heads in any hands until that table was broken up as well.

     

    Thhis was my 3rd major tournament (multiple day tournament with 100+ players) and my first time cashing in one. I achieved a lot of personal goals in terms of amount of time I survived (passed my previous high time of survival of 7 hours 15 minutes) and cashing in this tournament in order to get a profile on pokerpages.com. I got eliminated just 45 minutes before they concluded play for the day, so I was kind of bummed out that I missed making it to day 2. So my goals for next time I play in a big tournament like this is to survive till day 2 (which would be more than 12 hours and 15 minutes), cash for more than $429 (which is my major event high so far) and for more than $1,400 (which is the most I won in a daily tournament). It'll be bonus if I can make it to the final table next time. I feel that I walked away with a lot of valuable experiene in terms of pacing myself for a major tournament and avoiding the frustration of not getting much hands and not getting bored with folding 99% of my hands throughout the 12 hours and 15 minutes. I'm most satisfied of avoiding one of my epic meltdowns and not self-destructing like I did at the last 2 major tournaments I played in (WSOP-C 2010 and Chicago Poker Classic 2011) when I grew impatient.

    Anybody ever played in Tunica? My wife and I are going there for vacation in a couple weeks.

    I've never been to Tunica, but it is definitely on my "poker bucket list" of places to go to at some point in my life. I hope to play a WSOP-C event there someday.

     

    I have heard, however, that Tunica is in the middle of a bunch of cornfields.

    William McKinley was assassinated in 1901 - less than 100 years before Kennedy.

    LittleHurt05 was saying that Kennedy was the only president to be assassinated during the past 100 years. Between 1912 and 2012 Kennedy was the only one assassinated. McKinley was assassinated before then.

    Worse Public Bathroom

    Posted

    One of the nastiest bathrooms I was ever in was the men's room of the Olde Tinley Pub on Oak Park ave. In Tinley Park, Illinois. I was hanging out with my friends on Saturday night and I had to go to the bathroom and it turned out that the men's room was nothing more than a small 8 feet by 8 feet square of a room with one filthy toilet, a nasty sink, piss all over the floor, and brown walls that looked like someone sprayed piss all over it. If I took all my clothes off, it woud've been like I was in "the hole" in Oz.
