Morning All,

   Like Tony I've become hermitised during the lockdown, and as I still work in the food industry the past 3 months has been manic trying to keep up with retailers demand, same %'s as poker.

Sue and the kids badly missed our Sunday night live game with upto 20 Vegas nuts in a local pub, but we quickly migrated to a Home Game on Stars, and the acidic chatroom banter on Discord.

Any of you guys railing this years WSOP?

Morning Dave.

Ha, what a great word - hermitised.

I'm not into Discord, by & large I avoid all these SM platforms, as it all gets a bit too toxic for me. I'm on Twitter & I enjoy a lot of the bants on there but I almost never Tweet.

I'm not following the Online WSOP yet, no, but I guess I ought to. It's weird to think that in the USA you can only play it if you are in Nevada or New Jersey. 

I think I read that the Main Event - $5,000 - has 22 "Day 1" flights & everyone can re-enter up to 3 times. That's sure going to work out well for recreationals.

Hope you are both well, & xx to Sue as always.

I believe it is you can enter up to 3 days so $15k outlay max rather than re enter each day up to 3 times.

Did anyone watch this last night?

Excellent clip if you want to just ponder political messaging, people’s perceptions of wealth and just stubborn pig-headedness!

Another version of this!

No pro has more than 50% of themselves. That was stated publically

I'm just trying to clarify if the pros had to pay their own entry or if the businessmen paid for their invited pros.

Pros had to pay themselves.

Pros divulged the % they had to the organisers,  biggest piece was 50%, in theory a pro could have had 100% I believe,  don't believe there was any stipulation.

I suspect that the businessman who invited them would have had first option for a sizeable chunk of action in practice.

On twitter Rob Yong said

Yes - most of time Pro normally allows VIP to buy a piece at no mark up or maybe offers small 1-5% freeroll

Tikay has been about as active in the update thread next door as he has been in his diary!

Unlucky Tony,
Not much you could do looking at the reports. One card away from 90k chips, that would have enabled you to have fun.
I have arrived back in Vegas, Uber tastic ride in this time. Pleasantly surprised with my accommodation at The LINQ.
Do you know how Essexphil did in the seniors event a week or so back?

Phil did a Vegas update on the forum

Next was the Seniors tournament at the WSOP. Made Day 2, but busted out about 200 spots from the money, when Blind on Blind my A rag lost to someone's K rag. Fun tournament.

All the best for the rest of your trip

Matt

GG sir. Chin up and onto the next one. Easy to brick a few MTTs.

Do find it fun trying to understand plo8 and equities etc so thanks for the updates, helps us hold em fish learn!

good grief, how do you reason with someone like this? Really firmly held views and won't brook any 9nuance

She’s having a heated discussion with an MP. She isn’t throwing milkshakes, punches, eggs or anything else, she’s having a heated discussion. Do you prefer the assaults, Tighty?

To qualify as a discussion you have to let the other person speak and you have to listen.

She is just randomly ranting, as Tom said it doesn't qualify as a discussion.

This is interesting......

When Shaun Deeb has the moral high ground on you, you know you messed up somewhere.

He seems so convinced he is correct. If he did manage to go deep it would be very interesting on what he would do when faced with opportunity to do a deal. A lot of the time it makes sense to deal when massive amounts are on the line, given the cap he has so much more upside to not dealing than a player ordinarily would.

Tommy Robinson has released a very interesting documentary exposing the far left extremist organisation hope not hate and panorama. It's amazing how one man can be targeted so much for just the racism, the fraud, the assaults, the hate speach, the football hooliganism, the lies, the contempt of court, the leadership of the EDL and for been a right *****.

Beggars belief.

It does really doesn't it.

No great fan myself, but if he spoke with the same public schoolboy accent and aplomb of a Farage, or have the reasoned debating style of Doobs(if you ignore the above type of post, which is ironically quite Tommy in its own way) he would get a lot more support.

I have to wonder if you ever actually listen to what he says about the free ride these grooming gangs have had, etc, or are you too busy saying what a scumbag he is and shaking your head to actually listen?

Yes, there is some generalisation in there, but how many of these girls wouldn't have had their life ruined if authorities had listened to him earlier, rather than acting like the "shocked of Milton Keynes" types like yourself, who want to see the best in everyone...

There are some utter scumbags out there, no matter how much you want to think there aren't and they need to be tackled.

There are scumbags out there and they should all be tackled. The issue is he only seems to care about tackling the Muslim ones.

Puel has been sacked

WP doobs

Under game info tab is table hand history.

Thoughts on Foakes starting. I thought Root had said Butler would keep If Bairstow couldn’t play.

This diary used to be good but I think it has tailed off and become a hassle for you to do!

On a scale of 1 to 10, how much are you enjoying your evening?

Lordy.

Just the 9 different threads so far.

For those not aware of what Plumpy is alluding to, Next Door have tournament "issues" this evening. Fun evening......

It is hard to imagine that all those people happened to start their threads before any others existed. I saw people in chat saying about contacting customer care for an update. It is super frustrating when stuff like that happens but people become very illogical.
