It isn't just Justin Bonomo, the Society of Poker Villians are flying at the minute. 11 Men Nguyen 417,000 15 Sorel Mizzi 254,000 They looked to be flagging when Chino Rheem could only manage 230th in the main after featuring near the top of the chip counts earlier in the event. To be fair, they have been flying since Chris Ferguson won WSOP player of the year. On the final day of the 888 (thin brag) I was at the same table as Men Nguyen for the first 40minutes or so. First hand after the table broke, I was still on the same table and I noticed an ace was marked. I brought it up to the floor and was trying to subtly hint that someone remaining in the field might be known for these sorts of things but the td didn't seem to pay much attention to it. It wasn't a slight, possibly accidental mark either but rather a fully pressed vertical nail indentation.

Ok guys might sound like a daft one but ive had a search and cannot find any info (on blonde) for Prescription Medication. So i've got to take two different types of insulin which im sure wouldn't be an issue although it is by needle so how would I fair taking this on hand luggage? Another type of medication I take is for Pain relief and I have both Tramadol (Women slung in prison in Egypt recently for having two boxes, it is a controlled drug in the UK) and Oramorph which is a liquid version of Morphine (Oddly enough this is not a controlled drug). Of course im thinking I would take the very least amount necessary and also am able to have my Doctors prescriptions available. Any thoughts/Advice/point me in the right direction?
My old man's insulin/needles go in the hold, and he takes all his prescription documents with him, in case they ever carry out checks. Can't see it being a problem, as long as you have all your paperwork with you, mate. Ironic if the US gets funny about you bringing in a bit of morphine, given the gear they dish out like smarties. Quoting this because it can be VERY IMPORTANT not to put your insulin in the hold. I have been told that occasionally where your luggage is stored in the hold can reach freezing temperatures, which will denature the insulin or affect its effectiveness in other ways. I am diabetic and I have two types of insulin with me when I travel and I always bring it in my back pack along with some needles. For 4 weeks abroad this can be 8 vial of insulin. I used to bring a letter from a doctor but from around 50 flights I have never been asked any questions about it. They have seen insulin thousands of times a day. Bring a prescription by all means but I don't even take it out of my backpack to put in the clear plastic bags. The other medication I would actually get the letter from a doctor though because that sounds risky.

C should get a final warning and if it happens again he gets a ban. Sucks for B but hand plays out.

Have I missed the Easter sale for flights? There is normally one right? Summer dates seem to be just over £800 for the dates I'm thinking of direct from London June 23rd to July 13th. I would have thought a flight back on Friday the 13th would be cheaper!
They had one in February this year, and then emailed about the 3 diff types of economy a short time ago. With no sale, 800 isn't too bad, to be honest. I'm on that flight back, which coupled with it being Friday the 13th, can't be good Thanks, I'll just go ahead and book it then. Luck evens out, so hopefully that means we'll have been very lucky in Vegas already!

I realise Blonde and Party don't have the same relationship now but I have a question about currency conversion. This has probably been asked before, sorry. Should I have my account in £? Currently it is in $ and if I deposit I lose 5% or so on conversions. I had a friend transfer euros from his account and I got $ in mine and it was at the proper rate (I actually got a minuscule bit too much!), so if I have a balance in £ would that save me the bad conversion rate at all points (tournament entries, deposits, cashouts)?
i asked for you and the reply came "We do suggest players use the currency for the account they deposit and withdraw with, so yes - he should change to GBP" Thanks I'll get that changed.

If you are playing a $5 average buy in then losing $100 for 5 months in a row is only 100 games downswing. If you are playing large field then I think this is very likely to happen whether you are good or not because if you don't get to any final tables and even then the top 4 or so places, it is a hard proposition to make much money.
It sounds like you are a bit too worried about it, so the variance of 500+ player fields is probably not for you. Try the 180 man sngs maybe? Alternatively, if this is just for fun then play the stakes that are going to get you excited and looking forward to playing, so that you will play your A game.
