Does anyone know what is going off here?
Caption Comp replies welcome.
Assume its Golf related, and Ralph too crap to be caught up in scratch league so assuming Club Champion or Club Stableford comp? FYP Adam but you were very close. I won the Manny Freeman Trophy at Captain's Day of Nottinham/Sheffield/Leicester Jewish Golf Society which happened to be hald at my course Wollaton Park GC. We played from the yellow tees and I had a very good day off my new 11 handicap garnering 40 points. ![cupcake](http://blondepoker.com/forum/Smileys/default/woo.gif) Congratulations Ralph. Great result , well Played . How is the course? I fly today so hopefully get to play next week sometime .

Golf is good, swinging the club much better now - thanks to returning to my old coach who still remembers when I was half-decent - but having rediscovered a modicum of form I've not really been able to play as much as I would have liked to due to the extreme weather in this part of the world! I'm almost ready to tan Slo-Mo's behind upon his return ![Wink](http://blondepoker.com/forum/Smileys/default/wink.gif) [/quote] I'm easy Ralph. 3 years of trying to make swing changes and still as bad as ever. Two way miss going at the moment ( sounds like Tikay ) . Looking forward to seeing you next month

Walked to the short stacked small blind who makes up.
I have Q-Q-6-6 with 2 spades.
Check.
It comes Q high so I have top set and 4 to the flush.
He moves in.
Easy call.
He has bigger spades.
He hits the flush on the turn.
Ship the pair up on the river, oioi.
so that's anther man overboard. final table looms but you might need to get a wriggle on. scoopio time

How is Ralph , Tony ? Hopefully he's well. I last talked with him he was having the odd golf lesson or two , hopefully that worked out for him. I think I saw him from a distance at the golf club when I was over at Easter but he was too far away to speak to. I'll be in England all summer from 6th July so I'll make sure I meet up with him and hopefully we'll get to play a few holes .

Yes mate , WSOP how can you not enjoy it.. Yeah what are the odds of being sat next to a guy from Notts even with only 1000 runners left rather than 4200 that started the day. haven't checked the chip counts Tony but my guess is the bubble will burst first thing this morning ( might even have happened last night which would be interesting from a rules standpoint )) so disappointed I couldn't cash as played great and had no material to deal with for the last 4 hours of play so I was constantly picking spots to nick the blinds and antes to keep a stack . Had KK like 3 times in 9 1/2 hours , never had aces, queens or jacks all day and AK only like 3 times so it was a real grind all day . Not sure I could have played much better and didn't get my fair share of fortune. Still I am the luckiest guy in the world in every area of my life but gambling so what does a poker tourney really matter. Play well , might see you at Planet Hollywood Wednesday if I make day 2 of their $400 jobbie . If not play well, tear some new ones and above all enjoy . Life is short

Thank Tony but busto 9 Hours and 40 mins into play and bust with 20 mins left for the day . Short stack and needed to double up and ran A-8 spades into 10-10 of Simon Deadman. 2 spades on flop and having the ace meant I was almost 50/50 but a useless jack and even more useless deuce meant that was all they wrote . Really close to the money too as paying. Over 1100 places and there will be maybe 1200 at the end of play . # pissed off I have to say Simon Deadman is a really great guy , sat next to him for the last hour or so and he is a real gentleman. Softly spoken , acts impeccably at the table eyc etc . He reminds me very much of Thewy . Class . Hope he goes deep tomorrow.

Bet 60%. Of the pit and got called by 5 diamonds !! Maybe bet size was too small but also wanted to make it look like I wanted a call . Anyway 6 hours gone , 13000 chips to return after dinner break to 250/590 , 75 ante so 1500 chips every 10 hands . 4 hours of play remaining today so Time to spin it up to a playable stack for tomorrow.
