This whole thing is kinda tiresome. OH MY GOD YOU HAVEN'T HEARD THIS SONG OH MY GOD YOU HAVEN'T SEEN THIS FILM OH MY GOD YOU HAVEN'T WATCHED THIS TV SHOW Firstly, it's pretty old news that I never watched TV as a child. So everybodies continued surprise when it comes out that I haven't seen x is a bit zzzz. Secondly, all the comments like "omg what sort of childhood did you have" are also pretty zzz. Everybody does roughly what they want to do in life don't they? TV was never a part of my life except for watching sport, so I was never exposed to all those things - I did other things instead. And thus don't feel like I missed out on anything because I did the things that made me happy instead. I appreciate that it's weird for everybody else, but I don't feel like I had a deprived childhood or anything lol, quite the opposite. I really don't feel any worse off. As for now, TV is on the in the house a lot (mainly Indian Cricket though ) and I'm still pretty over it. There's almost nothing I watch regularly. In fact, there is nothing. I wouldn't miss the TV if it were gone. Any good TV show I just buy the boxsets of and watch at my leisure. I go to the cinema a lot and enjoy that. I could reel off loads of things that I do / have done that almost nobody else does / will have done. But I'm not going to as obviously they are sad things to do and nobody feels any worse off for having not done them either. Just caught up, Superb rant. I really hope you were genuinely angry when you typed this, and not just pretending to be. Good luck at Wemberly today. +1

I way preferred the jazz flute section to the generic auto tune R&B at the start. Wembley brought in the 90s wedding megamix towards the end and I think morale at that time was at a high for the day, music wise. Great experience yesterday. It's hot in them domes guys, I wore a suit and was feeling it till about 5PM. Also bring your own packed lunch or go to tesco round the corner in the dinner break. Wembley restaurant was not able to serve everyone properly in the break. I ordered a burger (£25!!) at the start of the break and it didn't arrive for 2 hours. Pony by name, pony by nature. That was the only tilting thing of the day, this is a great event, thanks DTD & staff. Good updates here too, will be refreshing today to follow the action so keep up the good work not a lot of value there...shocking ---------------------------------------------------- really would have loved to have made day 2 it really does seem to be amazing...good luck everyone...love to see some recreational players hit the big money.

Always predict that these big weekends or big trips are going to "make or break" the month, or in some cases like Vegas, the roll...But often it turns out like it did this week - meh, nothing to write home about. Bricked tournaments, won on cash. Won 2 seats to the MC anyway and didn't use one, so actually made money despite not cashing. Big win friday, small losses saturday and last night. I'm basically breakeven for the month at the moment, which considering bricking Marbella and Monte Carlo, two pretty big events, that's OK. Had a brilliant time doing the MC FT commentary yesterday with Tighty and bits with lil dave and eso kral. Especially when Dave was in there, it was really good. And the standard of the FT was really high, especially 4/5 handed when I started - some really high quality stuff which always makes doing the commentary so much better, rather than just keeping having to say things like "Hmm I'm not sure I'd chose to limp 33 here with 9 big blinds..." It was nice to be put to the test as well, as when a more accomplished player like Trigg does something I wouldn't do or don't quite understand, it's hard to comment on sometimes, because I wouldn't do it, but since Trigg has done it then he's probably correct, so I have to work out on the spot WHY it's correct! A great challenge and I hope I didn't butcher it too much, really love commentating actually. Would love to do bigger stuff in the future. Going to the charity night with Melissa tonight and I think a few of the boys are going too and many DTD regs I assume, so that should be fun. Looking ahead to the next tournament, going to play IPT San Remo I think next week I think. It's the grand final, a 2k buyin. Will be selling on blonde as per so contact me if you want to lock up a slice. Haven't decided on markup yet. Will be <1.35 though
reserve me a few percentiles mr goulder

Mitch Johnson mins to 20,000
Rastafish 55,000
Rayner 200,00 all in small blind
Mitch passes
Rastafish thinks
His rail is silent
Rastafish eventually calls with 10-10
Rayner A-K
"Yes fish, knew it"
"Now hooooooooooooooooooollllllllllllld" he says so elongatedly he could be on half speed
The rail crowd, Rastafish stands up
7-3-5
"Yes fish" a railer squeaks as if Bob Marley himself is squeezing his testicles
2
"Come on fish"
8
Rastafish clenches both fists and jumps up and down as if on a pogo stick
I look round and his urbane friend Richard is doing a jig in a suit and a raincoat.
I double check. Yes it really is Richard
Rastafish howls at the ceiling. It must be a full moon
Full moon or not he is chipleader, the firstplayer over 1m, with 42 left....
Awesome
