In the new office, all cabled up and back online.
Something's wrong with the boot sequence though, I don't get the Novell login and I don't get my usual system tray icons (but the apps are running). I thought it was to do with Windows Update being a bit crap once, but now I think it's something to do with Zonealarm. So I might take that out of the startup sequence and see. I can start it manually after the machine's up, afetr all.

Now, is there room for the old W98 machine on this desk...

QQ all-in against AA and 44, none of us improved.

There were 4582 starters, and I was in about 180th place at the time of that last hand. It took a little over an hour to get from 4500+ starters to just under 1000 left. There are still 250 left now, after 2 hours.

They pay down to 50th - they put $500 in, and people can re-buy for a dollar for the first hour, and then there's an optional dollar add-on, so by the time the rebuys are over the prize pool isn't bad. In this one it worked out to (dollars, rounded):
1st-10th: 434, 278, 182, 130, 96, 78, 61, 43, 30, 22
11th-20th: 16
21st-30th: 10
31st-40th: 7
41st-50th: 5

I decided to never rebuy or take the add-on, though - defeats the object of it being a freeroll!

I might try another sometime, or I might look for freerolls with fewer entrants - another on Betfair next Tuesday.
