Title: Re: Gray Day at the IPO Post by: DaveShoelace on October 19, 2010, 08:02:01 AM Highlight of my weekend was without doubt watching Greekstein in his element, it was like watching Woods with a Golf Club, Ronnie with a Snooker Cue, Picasso with a Paint Brush.....
Yes I had the pleasure of watching him trolling people in the chatbox on Full Tilt, it was amazing, he was doing it one handed, while chatting to us, playing and checking out facebook. If nothing else happens in my life, I can say, I was there. Title: Re: Gray Day at the IPO Post by: pleno1 on October 19, 2010, 09:40:02 AM Unlucky to Dan who finshed 9th.
