Ok, probably stupid Pokertracker question here.

How would I go about getting hand histories and whatnot important from a computer that does not have PT3 installed?

Also, I keep getting a timeout error when I try to import from e-mail for tournaments.

Please don't derail thread.




Nice curtains btw.

ty, beige + floral, what more would you want. I thought that only freaks weren't afraid of spiders, real men understand fear makes you stronger!!!

Although my sister caught the spider in a jar this morning and put it outside so i can take a photo of it, and it looks awfully small, im hoping thats just the distortion of the jar making it look that small, will try and take a photo as we take the jar off and set it free later

I had a severe fear of spiders until about 4 years ago.

Serious run out of the room screaming stuff if I saw even a small spider. Just the word would make me shiver.

Then with two small kids I decided I didn't want to pass this fear onto them so I'd do something about it.

So we're at a zoo thing and there's a chance to hold a tarantula. I've already had a go with a snake and a lizard and I'm cool with them. So I'm watching this 6 yr old girl hold the spider and thinking I've got to do this.

So the lady with the spider says, "who's next" and I emit a high pitched "I'll have a go" and step up.


There's a photo of me holding this thing with a look of absolute concentration with sweat pouring off my shaved head.

Honestly I was terrified. Mortally completely terrified. And it was like a switch flicked in my head.

I can honestly say that since that moment I haven't got the slightest problem with them. I can pick up even the big buggers with no trouble and usually just them be.




So I suggest you go on I'm a celebrity to get over it Switch.

Switch do me a favor. Please do not make posts about large scary spiders hiding in your room right before I go to bed. I can blame all of my bad dreams last night on you lol.

Warning: May be too graphic for some viewers. Contains cartoon spiders and I think I heard Barney!

it's ok. switch asks his sister to preview those videos for him and keep him away from the scary ones anyway. :D

This can't be a true story switch. If it is, I sincerely feel sorry for you.

Does your sister scare away the boogeyman from your closet each night too?

HaHa :rofl: - classic story switch (real or not).

I dislike spiders but they never win a boss battle against me, im the boss.

We have these dock spiders outside near our lake/dock area, fairly large, probably hurts alot if you get bit.

Well one of the smaller ones, thank fkin god, came into my room one day and tripped me right out. Needless to say my first reaction was holy **** if this disappears under my bed im going to lose my fckin mind tonite.

Grabbed tissue box, SMASH SMASHSMAHSMASHASMASHSMSH

Spider dead. 272-0 for me vs spiders.


Accurate size of said dock spiders below.

We have a garden spider that's built a web on our back porch. She eats wasps and is harmless to humans.

She looks almost exactly like this:
