Also very briefly shared a table with perhaps the most irritating little man in poker, JJ, aka JJ Hazan, he of Dragons Den.
Briefly? Well, as in 1 hand, which fell between his 6th & 7th bullet I think.
If you look carefully you can see a Trophy next to him, which he presumably won somewhere. He was using it as a card-marker. Never one to GIQ, was he?
He got that in a chop! No!? At Birmingham he arrived late, & he literally went to every table, brandishing his Trophy, & telling everyone how he won it. Then went round again & told everyone he would use it as a card-marker. As it happens, the event was part of something called "PLO Masters" which, loosely speaking, he "organises". In truth I fancy Party organised it, he just added the Title. Here, take a look... https://www.plomasters.com/He comes to Malta a few times a year where he is equally as popular. He comes along with a few hundred others from Europe for The Festival Series. You should give it a go, it's held in several locations throughout Europe, so you don't even have to see me! Loads of different mixed games along with some Holdem stuff too. Thanks Vinni. Ill keep an eye on the schedules. The bulk of the MTT action in Fessies is usually NLH, & I'm not remotely good enough to invest in the cost of travel & hotels etc to play NLH, but if it includes a decent amount of the sort of Mixed stuff I can handle, then yes, I'd maybe come along. That aside, how's life for you & the fam? What you up to? This was the schedule when it came to Malta in September: https://www.thefestival.com/wp-content/uploads/TF-Malta-Schedule-2025-Main-1.pdfAnd this is their homepage where you can see their upcoming events etc; https://www.thefestival.com/the-festival-series-malta-2025#block-a74959d3-8b61-4351-89b6-1b848490f3c8We are all fine thanks, just plodding along working for an online casino and getting fatter. Life is good though, so I'll take that for now.

1 thing brought it home to me the other day. Because I still think of Celtic as a massive club. And, of course (and I include Rangers in this) in various senses still are
Celtic's record signing is (I believe) £11 Million.
The 3 teams that have just been promoted to the Premier League are all predicted to go straight back down. And, this Summer alone, have between them signed 13 players for more than that amount.
Yeah it’s a different world. It’s also a different league(s) which is a whole different product to a much bigger audience worldwide so it also doesn’t make too much sense to compare them in some ways.

It's only fun. Tony and I have sniped about our respective teams for years. It's a North v South London thing  We both enjoy it, and don't really take it that seriously To quote my Wife, at the end of the day it is only about 22 overpaid blokes chasing a bag of wind On the assumption you support the team that bears your name, it must be disheartening to be both head and shoulders above all other Scottish clubs, with a massive level of support and an awesome history, yet only have the budget of a bottom-half Championship club. A British league would transform the finances of your club.To return to your point, Spurs got ridiculously lucky in Europe. More so than they were unlucky in the League. I am 62 years old. And Spurs have not won the League in my lifetime  Assuming we got the current owner and board to change their ways, then it would be great. Until then we'll just plod along being that big club that likes to act like a small club. Very frustrating.

I would have cashed out at 4/1, too. Nothing to do with this "Spurs-y" nonsense. Quite a lot to do with what Tikay said-Spurs were bound to sit back, and PSG were awesome going forward. The other point was that Palhinha wasn't fully fit. When he went off (together with Kudus and Richarlison) we lacked the ability to fend them off and counter effectively.
Love the idea that fans of various clubs feel able to believe Spurs cannot win things. To be in the Super Cup you have to win 1 of the 2 big European competitions, and to have won it in the last 50 years.
Arsenal have, like Spurs, played in it once. In 1994. Under George Graham. And got beaten as easily as PSG beat Arsenal in the Champions League last year.
Played as well as we could. Which is probably why the PSG Manager felt Spurs deserved to win.
We've no longer got Aussie Idea-less at the helm. Lovely guy. Deserved a chance after doing well at clubs in small leagues. But I am more confident than for years.
You’re getting a bit carried away EssexPhil, whilst it was nice for yous that Spurs won the Europa league, they had an easy run in all the way through with the exception of Stuttgart. Don’t go down that route of sniping back at people who give opinions, sit back and enjoy the season, then let us know we were right all along 😄
