Title: Back Again Post by: taximan007 on July 04, 2007, 06:16:44 AM Hi to everybody, i am now back online again after an enforced sabbatical, we had a bit of an earth tremor here about 10 weeks ago, well they called it an earthquake and to be honest not something i would wish to live through again.
I ended up in hospital, broken leg and arm, i was lucky, approx 25 people in the town lost their lives, and many more lost their homes. Spent 6 weeks in hospital (i would never moan about the NHS again), and have since relocated to another town. To those of you that have contacted me with your concerns i thank you and will be in touch shortly. Well, i'm off to Manila now to play in the Philippine Poker Tour million peso championship on Saturday and hopefully Sunday (if i survive). The winner is guaranteed 1 million peso (approx 10K) or an all expenses trip and entry into the Legends of Poker tournament to be held at the Bike Casino in Los Angeles. Not massive money to alot of you, but i'm in on a technical freeroll so not knocking it. I will report on my luck on my return, probably tuesday. Now something for all of you going to play "Real Poker" Texas Hold Em takes the world by storm The last few years it's become quite the norm Thousands of people make trhe trip Like Bees round a honey pot They descend on the strip. They enter the Rio, dollars in hand Thank you kind sir, that will be $10 Grand The cashier smiles as she gives you your pass Is this your ticket to becoming World Class? The draw has been done, your on table ten When you locatate it theres Scotty Nguyen Next to also, Greg Raymer takes his seat In no other sport can you achieve this feat. The room is electric, you can feel the buzz Your trying to focus but its all of a fuzz The Mikeman annouces "shuffle up and deal" I can only imagine how this makes you feel. You need good fortune, luck and good play If your to go the distance, go all the way Some are aggresive, some like to plod At some stage your likely to need the "Poker God" You raise and you bluff, you call and you fold You want to be a winner just like James Gold 12 Million bucks went his way last year Just think how you could buy all that "blondepoker gear" So if you are going i wish you well To have a blonde winner would be real swell But if you dont win, you dont grab the fame At the end of the day It's only a GAME!!! Good Luck to You ALL taximan007 Title: Re: Back Again Post by: phatomch on July 04, 2007, 06:18:05 AM gl taxi.... bring it home
