Haha, I remember that argument. A few people a bit upset and it felt a bit like bullying at one point. I tried to see both sides but ultimately if you’re out with a few pals (close pals or not) and you ship the tourney the night before, you probably don’t quibble over just paying for your own!! Some people  eh?!

Yes, Thewy and Amanda brought little Rueben who was about 1 so he’d be in his 20’s now almost! Maybe he’ll be at DtD winning every week soon like his Dad!

I’m well thanks, my daughter is 5 now and i’ve just got back to playing golf this year after playing about 11 times in 5 years! Shot 71 (-1) last week at Hollinwell and clicking back into gear. I was off +3 when i stopped playing but i’ve had to start again off scratch which is fair enough.

Hope all is well with you and yours. I’ve been very out of touch for a long time but nice to check back in every now and then, Maybe one day i’ll play poker again!

Phil Shaw aka The Jackal?

Wrote for Poker Europa back in the day.

Don't recall him being known as The Jackal, but I remember he wrote a book. Used to play the nosebleed SNG's on 'Stars at one time. Can't quite recall his 'Stars SN right now, but think it included "Vegas".

Last entry on his Herbie was 2014, so presumably he no longer plays the Live game.


I remember an illegal Festival in Jesolo, Italy where we shared a few tables, & he cashed 3 times & won "Player of the Series" or whatever. This was one of them - a few familiar names here....

That was in 2005, & was a week after I retired from proper work. Happy memories.

I remember that trip, Tony!

A week in Venice and never left the hotel. Colclough joined us iirc and a few others.

I think i get the W due to taking more of an upside chasing line with a -12. You will be expelled for nittiness, i am sure! That said anyone with Tarkowski in their team should me immediately banned.

Good luck all for the rest of the season, i am not sure i will last it out to be honest and i am certainly going to make this my last season. (Yes i have said that before, but this time it feels real)

Are we keeping Last Man Standing league open? I guess we’ve got a few weeks before we hit eliminations.

RIP Jack, many happy memories over the years playing and chatting to him. He will be missed for sure.

Nice one!

I said I wasn’t going to play but here I am sending you £90 for the £50 £20 and £20LMS.  My wife is gonna hate me so i just need to pretend it is her or something else that is pissing me off and not FPL :-)

Can't believe I held on against Alverton (Sam Morris) by a single point in the Blonde 20!

It was a good chase this season. At one point I had you pegged and you pulled away again and then Alverton came from nowhere!!
Congrats.

Asking for a friend…. Dino, are you actually in the £20 league or just an admin? Need to know if i’m hunting you down as well as Brent! Not that I’ll catch either of you but good to know.

Crikey, he had a cash or two at DTD.....

3 nights a week for 7-8 years gonna get you there. You could always count on Dave to be there if you were heading down for the night.

Very sad. My Dad told me about this a few nights ago.

Dave was a very keen poker player, loved being at Gala and DTD and loved his golf. I actually went on a trip to St Andrews with him about 10 years ago and I can promise you, he had some stories! Such a nice fella, a real friendly people person and he will be sorely missed.

R.I.P. Dave.

Actually, ill play in the 10 H2H as well, may as well court the variance. £70 sent

In for 3, 4 and 7. Will send the £60 later.
Not sure how motivated i am this season so a small bit of interest might keep me going.

Well done, all.  I’ll be back no doubt. Hoping for a better season and for there to be clusters of games rather than drip, drip, drip, death by a thousand cuts.
Thanks for organising, Nick!

Hello everyone, not posted on here for ages.
Has anyone else just completely lost interest in FPL? I am pretty sure I am done with it now after 12 seasons. I am sure I can find a hundred other ways to ruin my weekend and dampen my mood.

Good luck all for the rest of the season.

Well done Dino for keeping it going
