Quite hooked on these streams from Hustler now. Watched yesterday's this evening. Great viewing and well played Ali.
Loved watching Antonius too, super cool guy, no doubt. Must've been fun to play on that table if you have the cojones for it

I don't think Labour has much chance in the next election whoever wins.
Better off having Corbyn as leader for the next election and massively increase and energise the core Labour vote.
And then Dan Jarvis, Stella Creasy or Keir Starmer take over for 2025 when we'll have a real shot again hopefully.
Bet gonna come in one year early

I think Brexit completely broke the concept of consensus, collective responsibility, party loyalty etc. The Tory party is at least 2 parties, as is Labour and in this social media / media driven pantomime we all live in I think Starmzy, if in power, would probably have difficulties papering over the divides in Labour.
I do think the best thing now would be a slightly more polished and safer pair of hands with some senior cabinet experience (Sunak). All good if he is scrutinised and challenged by Labour but harder for them to paint him as an idiot and harder to resort to the purer ad hominem everyone engages in with Johnson and Truss. Yes, bang on about he's super rich but really, so what.
2 years to hopefully steady things a bit, 2 years for Labour to build their consensus and develop further (or fall apart if the left gets a bit antsy) and a decent philosophical choice between 2 parties in 2 years.

I have no time for either of these players, but if she was bright and sophisticated enough to cheat in a high-stakes, televised game in the company of top class, savvy players, wouldn't she be bright and sophisticated enough to pick a better hand/spot?
Agree, this would be an odd spot to choose to use yr cheating advantage - bit too gambly if you have a cheats edge This saga has led to me watching a few streams of that game starting with a stream of that whole evening. Never thought I would watch stuff like this again but I have. She's kind of watchable, she has good bappage which is quite mesmerising and I always liked Tomb Raider. My new fav passtime is watching streams when Garrett loses 250k or so, try and avoid the ones where he wins.

How can so many totally incompetent people keep getting top jobs.
How can you, as Prime minister, just pick someone and say Right, you're chancellor, you're foreign secretary, you're, health you're education etc?
Don't people need years of experience in a particular field to be able to do the job properly?
Apparently not. Just appoint some gormless ***** who voted for you in the leadership election.
Agree that filling posts solely on the basis they supported you is a pretty stupid and immature thing to do. However, I think the skill sets needed to run these large departments can be considered quite distinctly from their fitness based on any specific field of expertise. Increasingly and unfortunately, the primary field of expertise for politicians is being 'politicians' so the pool of talented people (leaders, listeners and life long learners, bloody L) is ever shrinking on all sides of parliament. For perspective, and probably far from the best examples, but I would have trusted politicans like George Osborne, David Cameron, Harriet Harman, John McDonnell to run big departments with a degree of purpose & professionalism (not taking the p) irrespective of whether I agreed with their politics.

Was super, so many accomplished players and can watch games now with a deece expectation of enjoying the way we play, irrespective of result.
Thought sending off was slightly harsh but more enjoyable for being so.
So hoping we can be really competitive with Liverpool next week, it's been a while.

I think his reaction is pathetic, I made a massive bet so you should fold - don't know why she can't say I put you on 8 high or some blahblah about yr always at it so i just felt like spite calling even though there's a good likelihood i'm behind. Or just say, I don't know what I'm doing, smile sweetly and rake it in.
This kind of stuff is why poker is so dull, can't actually believe I spent a deece portion of my life on this kind of shenanigans. Think I just liked wine and talking bollox to people who couldn't up and leave.

It's absolutely ridiculous. Who has bacon with fried onions?
Unfortunately my high cholesteral and furred up arteries means i can no longer have it. Pan full of onions fried on a low heat for 3-4 hours 8 rashers crispy back bacon unsmoked 8 rounds bread and butter = 4 lovely bacon and onion sandwiches oh how i miss them Ha that would be the most expensive sandwich ever these days. Sorry to hear about recent woes but glad to hear things perking up for you and the family
