I cant see anderson retiring just yet or even broad, though i agree that Jimmy is wearing better. They both have chances to break all kinds of records, and why would you retire if the ball is going to continue to swing as much as it has done this summer!

I would personally let Broad have a rest for the Sri lanka tour, they will pick 3/4 spinners and one seamer, so Jimmy and Stokes would be my seam choices. Then pick The Beard, Rashid and Leach with root as your spinners. What you do with the batting, I really have no idea.

My team for Sri Lanka:

Burns
Jennings (not great either way, but plays spin well and they wont want to replace both at the same time imo)
Moeen
Root
Denly/Pope/clarke
Stokes
Bairstow
Buttler
Rashid
Anderson
Leach

I really dont know where or how they fit the extra batter in. Buttler seems too low at 8.

Woakes or curran possibly to bat 8 but only as a batter if they are the best option.

What do we think?

I don't see how you drop Curran. Agreed about Butler being too low. I would stick Curran at 8 and get rid of your number 5 options and bump everyone up one.

[TUESDAY 19th June, Golden Nugget, $250 PLO8]

Morning all.

Was due to play this today;

TUESDAY 19th June, Golden Nugget, $250 PLO8


I'm going to swerve it, mainly as by way of a belated birthday celebration for Gill, I'm taking her to see a Show tonight at Caesars Palace. Sorry about that, I'd clean forgotten I had organised a few surprises for Gill including the Show tonight.

I'm also not in great nick right now, with a monster cold & "chest", so not really in the best shape to be playing poker.

Then, early tomorrow - very early, as in leave the Hotel at 4am - we are off to Portland & Seattle for the West Coast Adventure 2018 edition.

We return to Vegas at midnight on Thursday.

Donttelmum is already out in Vegas if you need someone to rub your chest!

Couple of ITIN questions
Am I correct that you can get ITIN number sorted at the Rio still? Is it winnings over $5k that you need it for? What information do you need to get ITIN? I think I had one from a few years back, is it 5year expiry on them?

Guilty! Will be out on Wednesday!

what's the tournament you are entering on wednesday Matthew?   

nh Bean...only time you will hear that on a Sunday!

As you know, the Updates I m posting are cut & pasted from Next Door (with permission of the Author), but they have their own WSOP thread too.

This post appeared overnight;

Great thread as usual. How is T Kendall getting on in the $1k PLO?

That was posted by my Boss. Lovely job.

And in reply to that post;


Heard the structure is pretty good in that.

Which was authored by an ex-friend of mine.


It's OK, keep it coming boys.

Guilty! Will be out on Wednesday!

All the best Stu

Best of luck

Aren't we due a gushing "everybody loves the royals" post?

You bet you are.

Gill was ridic excited, too.

I really do need to get the diary updated and the questions and comments replied to. Been a challenging few weeks.

Tomorrow morning, promise.

It is what pads said, I mod a UK chat group with 200 members that pads is in, we have it that way so people can explain their relationships. Just because you have made a number of trades with someone doesn't mean you want to be on the hook if something goes wrong. With others backers/good friends will give hard vouches and be on the hook if something goes wrong. We have had hardly any issues in the group and people often ask for hard or soft vouches before they trade.

Moeen Ali and Chris Woakes have been dropped

12month bans for Smith and warner is the gossip on twitter.

Any updates? Enjoyed reading this from the start, what's happened the past year or 2?

KingPush it would be good to get an update, if you could give some advice to 2104 you. What would it be?

Stars is very good for game ecology and there frequent player/rakeback system is the best out there but if you're not playing enough volume at sufficient stakes then you wont feel the benefits - perhaps consider going to an ipoker skin where you can get a decent RB deal - that way even playing B/E poker you will be able to make a few hundred a month relatively risk free.
