With the mark so close to $2K --- I knew his second bid was over $2K - so I figured I would take it to the 2K mark. Did you notice that I didn't bid over $2000.00? The only thing dumber than bidding early , is bidding early and over your currently winning bid at a significant price point -> Allowing knuckleheads like me to jack up the price ;>) Can you tell I have been playing some online poker? Anyway, I figured that bid would cause some excitement, but I have no desire to win that auction. Texas Hold'em regards, Michael
