oioi, Dylan in the thread.

You OK mate?

Vegas this year?

Morning mate.

On a Sunday I enjoy catching up on some threads over a coffee.
I am of course looking forward to turning this diary into a daily read when you are ripping it up come June though.

I am well thank you, can't complain.

No Vegas for me this year, I do miss going each year though but other priorities in life other than burning through money unfortunatley.

Hope you are well?

Hopefully see you again soon enough, seems like a long time since I last saw you.

[Best of luck thursday.]

I have enjoyed reading the updates each morning Gramps, thank you.

Best of luck thursday.

Thanks Dylan, hope all is well down in South Wales.

Best of luck Thursday? Assume you mean Wednesday. Sheesh, this time difference thing is a bugger.

Oops, my bad, days all merge into one these days.

Things are well thanks sir, busy but well.
Immensely jealous not to be in Vegas myself but thoroughly enjoying living the experience through your eyes.

Now best of luck Thursday Wednesday mate  

I have enjoyed reading the updates each morning Gramps, thank you.

Best of luck thursday.

Well done teeks, only just catching up, been a great read.

Thanks for all the updates, now go do a win please!

[Look at it as $240 saved......]

Today, I was due to play this.....

Golden Nugget, Sunday 12th June, 11am, $240 PLO8


I'm going to have to miss this, I'm afraid. I got rather badly sunburnt over in California, & I don't take sunlight too well - I'm bright red - positively shining - & my hands & arms have swollen up quite badly, coupled with moderately severe heat rash. It's quite normal for me, I don't take heat & sun very well, but it clears up very quickly.

I'll be back in action tomorrow, though, in a carbon copy of today's affair, & then again on Wednesday, when I'll be back at PH for another bash at Big O. 

Binions, Monday 13th June, Noon, $240 PLO8

Apologies all, but it can't be helped. Look at it as $240 saved......

Wasn't expecting anything back so feels like a win.

Look after yourself out there and good luck.

10% please mate

Booked thanks Dyl 😀

20% left

Thanks Rich.

RyRy has sent on my behalf :-)

10% please mate

After the £550BI we had £2250 in cashes/returns.

There's the WPT HR coming up mid May which is £2200.

If it's ok with everyone then I'd like to play this event on the stake.

Will mean £30550 in total returns and that 2.5% will be worth £763.75, plus still a sweat for everyone in the WPT HR.

In!

In!

Well done again mate.

Both tips are fine with me buddy.

Well done mate.

Good luck for today.

Can barely believe this, I've not booked Vegas yet, & have yet to finalise what I plan to play, or total spend, & yet the MANTIS arrival & question has seen a little group of investors, & I'm quite touched by it.

It's all provisional so far, & nothing is binding on your parts, but the first stakers list is below.

I'll get in touch with Mere soon, & ask him to be stake Arbitor/Referee, as he does every year, & set up the Official Staking Thready. In all matters, his final say will be binding as to any alterations or confuse-aments. That assumes he accepts the invitation, obviously. 

This seems to be where we are so far, in order of posting....
