Sweet, the ideal situation would be for you to be able to play one on one in a low roller room with a friend, without the bots.  If neither of you have the foundation for a good hand, I would fold.  If you are not in the mood to think too hard about it, you could always just both "check only."  Many people have gotten it playing with the bots in the just-for-fun rooms.  I like the one on one play better because you get more hands in than having to go through the whole process with the bots.

You better hope it doesn't take you 80,000 hands.  :P

Hey, 80,000 hands is only 21 days straight, playing 19 hours a day.  It's not that bad.

k ty barbara...lol...lord have mercy...i might be able to get it to work on it tonite  after i get my other badges done...my kids start school 2morrow.. but what sucks is i gotta take one everyday at 12:30  thats like 10 mits outta my pogo time a day..lol  while im doing laundry and puttin it away, cookin supper..i should be able to run to the puter and hit check  everytime..or have one of my kids do it for me  till i get done with some housework...knowin my luck they would get the badge for me maybe..lol

You have children?  Hmm, children with nimble little fingers, who like to play on the computer and have boundless energy.  What a great idea for children to get our badges for us.  We certainly can't get the dog to do it because they have no thumbs.  That's it, my mind is made up, I am going to have a baby.  Wait, if I have twins then I can work them in shifts and get my badges faster.  Cripes, I need another one to get Max's badges.  Okay triplettes, that's the ticket!  Wait, there is my sister Nancy's badges also.  Forget it!  It's a womb, not a clown car.  I can't possibly have that many children to get all the badges.  The moral to this story...........Next time you gripe about having to "babysit" an auto, just remember that it could be worse.
