Ken i was wondering, if it cost you anything out of your own pocket to run this site?

Q2: Is card counting effective on the strategy trainer.

Q3: If so, is there any way possible to organize and have a small get together(play for fun) tournament on the strategy trainer.

Or you could have 5 or 10$ entry fee(by credit card) I think this would be fun and bring peace

No. Ad revenue supported it before the law change, but the store still generates enough income to pay for the hosting costs.

Yes, the trainer is randomly dealt, and deals moderately deep before the shuffle.

Q3: If so, is there any way possible to organize and have a small get together(play for fun) tournament on the strategy trainer.

Don't want to go there! Sounds illegal. The trainer unfortunately doesn't have any way of storing results at the moment, and revamping it for a tournament is more work than I'm willing to do. Sorry.

I'll check and see if I can find anything in my mail logs for you. If you receive it in the meantime, let me know.

shadroch, It looks like Yahoo is the culprit. My server logs show the following response to my attempts to deliver your newsletter:

deferral: 206.190.53.191_failed_after_I_sent_the_message./Remote_host_said:_451_Message_temporarily_deferred _-_[190]/

Further information about that particular message can be found here:

I'm complying with most of the recommendations for improving delivery already, and I'll be adding the others soon. I hope they'll improve deliverability to Yahoo addresses. Email is really tough to manage these days.

Hmmmm. I guess I'll resubscribe using a non-yahoo e-ddress.
Thanks for looking into it.
