Re: I think I'm going to start using this forum again

Hi Jon,

We've not met but I remember hearing your name before as a poker playing countdown watcher!

I was just wondering what poker games you play? I'm guessing something mainly online, since I don't think I've encountered you on the live circuit...

Gl with the mission!
