Robert Williamson was drunk and still out played everyone.

robert williamson played the part of a drunk ( some of the players seemed to be taken in by the act)  but still played for me what was one of the most amazing cash games I have ever seen. I dont think he made a single error in the whole game and made about 4 unbelievable laydowns. NC was also very impressive I have to say.

great show because it isnt just about big hand v big hand confrontations- there was some really good poker played. One thing that stood out last year was how far ahead robert williamson and Kirk Morrison were of the other players. Neil Channing was the only one of ours to hold his own. I have heard some other names playing this year and it should make great tv

What was so good about Robert Williamson and Kirk Morrison? Anything in particular? Line-up seemed quite strong overall.

you watch their overall play. some of the hands they got away from were amazing. they got off hands they were beind in and got the maximum from the hands they were in front in. robert managed all this while playing the table clown/drunk as well. watch the whole show and observe their play then come back to me.


please god I hope helmuth turns up- show wouldnt be the same with just gold donating on his own.

let me know where to send the money please. I meant to give it to tikay in luton last week but got moved from his table and got sidetracked. transfering it to a bank account is way better than putting it into a stars account as you will have the correct money to buyin then instead of being effected by fluctuations in the dollar rate.

ps i may come in for a bit more or get someone else to do the same if anyone else pulls out. I really want to see you do this bud and I dont want no excuses if a couple drop out.

also from someone who has used recreational drugs of all kinds (never injected though) I can safely say I would never play poker on any form of drug. It would effect your play IMO and make it too easy to make a mistake. I know people who do but that's their prerogative. I would love to play on a table full of stoners or coke heads, would be very easy to take their chips the same way I would like to sit on a table full of drunks.

The issue with this guy isn't that he was off his head the problem was he was an obnoxious tool.

My father passed away several years ago from cancer and was being treated in his last months at Christie's. The specialist there told him to find some to help with the symptoms/side effects of chemotherapy. Luckily I had a good friend cough cough who grew his own and it helped my father be more comfortable in his last days on the recommendation of a doctor. My mother smoked it with him as he was paranoid about breaking the law and convinced the police were gonna bust his door in and she found it helped with her arthritis. When my father died she stopped smoking it and back came the inability to use her hands properly. I gave her a bollocking and she now still smokes it as it helps. When she saw her doctor when the arthritis came back he said off the record to continue smoking it.

PS my mother or father never beat the shit out of anything and this is not something from an eye witness/third hand this is something I have witnessed myself over a number of years. I know plenty people who have smoked for years and years and although I have had a friend put away for gbh it was not because of the cannabis its because he was a violent nutter.

 Drugs can be blamed for many peoples actions but the simple fact is if you put a cock on coke,speed,E or whatever he is still going to be a cock. Its not the drugs fault its the arsehole who is using its fault.

ul martin great effort though- stick the retirement on hold though

i thought the retirement age in this country was 65??




















surely he shouldve gone years ago if we are gonna stick to them rules

tell the green machine to stop being a tart and get it won then. Im all for saving green but its usually from confiscation

gl to all the boys, I ain't gonna bok anyone but a few mates in there who I hope do well

any chance you could keep an eye on jen in the side event? Have a feeling she is gonna run good over there.

also neil wont have money invested just in the winner- he has already prebooked 1st-5th places for some of his runners.

they shouldve left me on your table trace as he seemed to quieten down a little when I started on him. It wasnt just after the dinner break either he was obviously of his head from the start of the comp but each to their own imo. If he was using poppers and coke how the hell did he keep his concentration??

gl fella

well done on the new job jeeves. If it goes tits up you could always try colchester (pleeeeeasssse at least consider a job with kev)

cant believe nobody entered "you never show me no respect" or the more obvious " go on, sniff my fingers"

close but no cigar is just genius
