    Whoa, Polariss just reminded me this is the one year anniversary of the day we put the site live!!

    We put it live around 4 oclock in the morning on January 18th, 2005. Then Adam, Riley, Lucky Egg, and I played $1 six handed sng's and went all in every hand while we drank a celebratory beer.

    Never thought it would grow to this in a year.

    THANKS TO ALL P5S MEMBER FOR MAKING THIS A GREAT SITE AND A GREAT YEAR!!!

    This picture is SO wrong on so many fronts.

    I will now proceed to gouge my eyes out with plastic spoons.

    PS - Congrats to Cal & Adam. You are defintely having an impact on the on-line poker scene. Imagine how things will be for the 10th birthday of the site. (I'll still be a donk - just older)

    Thank You and Congrats!

    It's great to see a great bunch of visionary guys doing what they love. Hopefully, some monetary appreciation on the horizon. I think we should set up a low buyin tournament that a portion of the proceeds go the the "server" fund.

    You guys have created such a great medium for poker players of all bankrolls and skill levels to connect and interact on a daily basis. There hasn't been a day that has gone by since I signed up in July that I have not logged onto pocketfives.

    Anyone up for late night $1 SNGS?????
