and find it difficult to find an opening at those live games versus on-line. On-line is SOOOOOOOOOO easy and I can find any type of game at anytime that I want with a minimal waiting time. On-line, there's no tipping the dealer and a smaller "rake" than live card rooms...this is also a plus in my eyes . I will be very curious to see (and I will ask) during my next trip to the Bicycle Club how this "ban" has affected that particular "live" room.

Although my preference is to play live, and even though I have a number of card rooms within 45 minutes of my home and/or work, nothing beats the convenience of the on-line game, in my opinion.

Plus...it's much easier to donate my $$$$ to The Andy Hughes' "NO Whiners" Fund on-line !! Steve B
