Not sure why I felt that this was the right place to post this, but here you go.

Probably deserves her own thread.

Sad news, met a few times and was very nice.

RIP.

Hi mate,

Nice update.

So happy to read about you travelling 40 hours to see England get pumped. I love a feelgood story.

Post more.

Love

Vince x

I will do.

Chompy got a reply from his text saying it's going fine and he is getting a bit better every day.

Has anyone seen or heard of Nirvana lately?

Glenn had heart surgery then suffered a stroke about a year ago. He was undergoing rehab last time I spoke to him which was in November. I have messaged him a few days back, but not heard anything back yet. Will let you know when I do.

Speedy recovery Tom 

A modern day Tikay.

Congrats.

Mantis has gone soft.

Hi Monda,

How does it feel not to get mentioned by Greekstein in Tikay's thread?

'I made lots of very good friends here too. Stu Hopkin, Sunny Nagi, Mitch, CambridgeAlex, Celtic, Giblin, Matt, Maria etc. Most of whom I unfortunately rarely ever get to catch up with these days but really really enjoy when I do. Catching up with Mitch, Alex, Sunny etc in Thailand over the years has been great and I hope they're all crushing life.'

Cheers x

Is Keith ok? Can someone check on him?

😂

Make sure you post a pic of you manage to find such a hoody..

cool story bro

Been awake since yesterday waiting for updates..

Such a tease.

Too easy.

Thanks for dinner. Hope you learnt a valuable lesson.

Good luck to everyone in Day 2, except you.

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...

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.pdf

We 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.
