    It's that time of year. I wasn't able to set up a private tourney on Merge, so we are going to use tonight's $4000 Guaranteed at 18:00, 10-1 one rebuy, one add-on as this year's tournament in memory of my wife Ami, who passed away from ALS (Lou Gehrig's disease). I hope some people can play, we always have a good time and it would be great to see some pocketfiver's at the final table.

    This is the fifth year of the tournament and I hope we have a decent turn out. Good luck and see you at the tables tonight!

    I no longer play online poker, but I remember part of OT past.

    Bad News for OT - http://www.pocketfives.com/f13/wife-...se-als-204554/

    Year 1 - http://www.pocketfives.com/f13/als-t...-25-et-202826/

    Year 2 - http://www.pocketfives.com/f13/chari...k-team-331516/

    Year 3 - http://www.pocketfives.com/f13/3rd-a...7/#post4746819

    Sad day - http://www.pocketfives.com/f13/best-...3/#post5081169

    Year 4 - http://www.pocketfives.com/f13/priva...7/#post5792856

    Best wishes Hypnotrader... the past will forever be preserved here in OT... including Ami's posts (which can be found in those links above).

    Cheers,

    -J

    I am putting a bounty on greengo, pocketfives name is crfgreengo. Post the knockout hand in this thread and you get $15 and I will make a $25 donation to ALS research in your honor. Also, a big t-bone steak to the first person who can tell me Ami's biggest worry she had about her passing away.

    Not the correct answer, Jester. Thanks for all of your support over the years, it has been appreciated!

    First person to post your merge screenname in this thread will get a stake to tonight's tourney.

    No stake for greengo, I've staked you enough in the past! But yes that was the correct answer. Greengo actually knew Ami in real life and will attest that she was a great woman!

    Can USA players really play here? You guys trust this will hold?

    Hope it all works out for Ami's tourney!

    Maybe I'm nuts, just gave up even researching. There are US players depositing, any stories of withdrawls. Sorry, really really do not want to hijack this thread, but would love to play in memory of Ami.

    Pretty sure there is a whole thread about withdrawls from Bodog and the Merge network in the "poker sites" forum.

    Withdraws are slow 4-8 weeks, paper check only for US players. Deposit WU pretty fast and easy. Merge network was closed to US players for a few months, just opened back up. 150% deposit bonus thru select affiliates up to $750.
