No good yesterday, had a good table but no real momentum.

Lost a big flip in the end AKdd v QQ

Great to see you Tikay, the last time I think would have been 2015! Crazy

Back to reload again today, will be a busy one

Run well Vernon.

Thank you sir. Haven’t quite busted yet, and in more exciting news I can see Tikay is still in the PLO

Table 14 seat 2!

Surely a winning seat!

Well as expected, that was carnage!!

Could someone tell me what Sof & KYC are please? It sounds like musical direction and fried chicken.

SoF = Source of Funds. i.e., they want to see if your source of funds is legit. Bit awkward if you happen to be dealing drugs or whatever. An excess of cash transactions are a big red flag I gather.

KYC = Know Your Customer. Much the same thing really. "You are gambling, where's that money coming from?"

And there's also AML which = Anti Money Laundering. Again, amounts to much the same thing. But the UKGC are increasingly frowning upon big stake cash games, as they are perfect AML camouflage.

The crazy thing is if you sell action / get staked you would then have to provide their source of income/ statements too in theory, is what I was told last night

You’re right I think, people will end up in underground/ dodgy games and do way more damage than good
Do you think that this will now be it/ the standard for good or it will do full circle down the line

Will you be gracing the hallowed turf this week Tikay?


I'll be playing the "little" (£300) 4 card PLO today. I swerved the big PLO thing, it was way above my standard with the likes of Osman Mustanoglu (who won it), Keith Johnson, Fat Mitch, Stato etc. Them boys would skin me alive.

I'm not even sure I should play the £300 PLO, these days they play so fast & I get taken off my feet. I'll enjoy the experience though.

I did play the 6 Max (61/207) & the Seniors (29/155) so no cashes thus far. Absolutely delighted to see Thewy win the Seniors though, especially as I managed to double him up with 30 left (24 paid) when I ran smack into his K-K, which left me with just 4 or 5 BB's.  

I won't play the NLH "Main", I'm out of my depth at the £1,500 NLH buy-in level, but I may play a sidey or two on Sunday &/or Monday. Can't play at DTD tomorrow as I've been invited to play the £240 SPT Manchester as a "Guest", with 2 bullets, so that's a gift horse I can't really miss.

Yes yes, I know, I'm truly blessed.

GL in whatever you play, & do come say Hi if you see me.

Awesome and good luck today, I will post my table draw on here anyway but let me know where you’re sat and I shall come and say hi! I believe the main starts an hour before the plo.
I also didn’t bring the golf clubs, which might be annoying if I manage to bag up today!

England will fk it up, as they have shown countless times.
Will leave too many runs out there, giving away wickets

Yeah possible, I don’t know though, I’ve just got a feeling Mr Stokes has these lads bang on where he wants them this time round, and the Aussies are defo there for the taking

Thanks Tikay, it all seems so over the top. One of the questions on the form was ‘have you ever gambled more money than you were able to afford’ I mean I assume everyone lied answering that one!

But yes I got there early, had a Nando’s with a mate (tradition sorry Vinny) and went and got my wristband and did the checks this evening. So tomorrow will head down and buy in.

I think I overheard someone say that anyone who does over 2 bullets in the main will get KYCd so hopefully I will be ok with just the one tomorrow (one Saturday won’t be needed fingers crossed!)

Glad I ducked today though, the field looked very tough. Did see Stato, CambridgeAlex and a couple others too, as well as the same old floor staff. Can’t be any better place to play can there??

Will you be gracing the hallowed turf this week Tikay?

Thoughts?

As good a chance as England have had in a long time to win an away ashes series. The bowlers are fit and bowling quick and with the Aussie attack 2 down it could be a great chance to go one up in Perth.
I feel it comes down to how we bat, Root I think will go well, as will Crawley in those conditions. They will look to go short at duckett and brook, will the later be able to hit it 20/30m more to clear the boundaries on the bigger grounds?
Smith I think will score well as always but Marnus form is probably key for them

Predictions?

I have no clue what side we will show up with. But I’m going 2-2 with a rained off show where

He’s hoping that some of us don’t venture into his ‘territory’

Off to DTD tomorrow, to play the wsop main on Friday. Always been my favourite place to play poker anywhere, and always puts on a great festival.

Any other heroes about?

Came to Malta this week for some poker/ sun and the promise of being treated to dinner by Celtic. Landed was then harassed all evening, and had to pay for his fillet steak.

Unbelievable!

Hope all is good with the blondes! Still a daily scan of the forum for me.

Life is good! Own business, cricket season was successful and playing as much golf as I can.

Day two of the main in Malta later!

Much love apart from to Vinny

Vern ❤️

Old dog, same tricks!!

Got me with that one when I was out there back in 2018

Knew it was coming when he asked for the fillet steak!
Not sure his promise of a chicken burger at the Luton G is much of a repayment to me

5 gone!

Hi all!

Hope all is good, not posted here for a while and thought would be fun to get something going for a sweat next week.

Looking to sell 10% for 2 bullets in the £1.5k main at dtd next weekend. Will look to play the Friday morning from the start and then if I bust play the Saturday

Hendon mob above! Missing a couple of cashes in Malta recently too which are yet to go on.

Selling at no mark up, and thought would be good to do 2x 5% sweats if people were keen. So £150 for 5%

Bagel and Mr Picken already have % so could be fun to get some updates going

Always been a good place for me dtd! Would love to get a winning stake going. Have sold / returned many times before on/ off here and am sure would have many people to vouch!

❤️

If I was to bring the clubs to Nottingham next week, would anyone fancy a round on Sunday morning? Happy to go out early, as planning on making day 2 at 3pm!

I don't play golf at weekends, only Monday to Friday. Weekends are poker. 

Life remains challenging.

It does sound it! I can’t really comment either. Have to try organise something soon?

I’ve just booked 3 days in Scotland for next June

Trump old
Trump new course
Royal Aberdeen
Cruden bay

Could be some trip !
