just back home from dublin and the heads up challenge.what a great weekend , very proud to be a member of the victorious GB team.
many thanks to the fitzwilliam club and the irish team for their hospitality.although outclassed at poker , they showed that they have plenty of class away from the table and i can honestly say i have never met a friendlier bunch of people.
thanks to davey , angie and kev for the hard work they put in.
just a few words about my team mates........
01: Flushy ...........takes an awful amount of stick but is a genuine nice guy and always has a smile on his face (a nightmare to sit next to in a rebuy though)
02: Jen .............WOW.......arrives with a humungus hangover and still manages a great win in the hi/lo omaha....respect
03: Rudders ....a 2 1/2 hour mammoth omaha battle and a great table companion
04: McIntosh ...known as token (as in token jock)........top bloke
05: Pav.........didnt sound like a jock, but somebody said something about motherwell
06: Pab.......top bloke...future bracelet winner
07: Belsize ...didnt get to spend much time with you as somebody appeared to have nailed you to the cash tables
08: JP ...showed me how to play 3 5 ........celebrates his 16th birthday next week
09: Clothey...sorry mate , i managed to lose you in the airport , hope you had a good trip back
10: Dewi ...thanks for letting me sleep with you

on a personal note..(excuse the chirp)
played the 55euro on friday night andmanaged to be the only team GB member to make final table (8th)
won my heads up 7 card stud match against an excellent (if slightly rude) opponent
played the 25 euro rebuy (had 27 rebuys and an add on lol) , made the last 3 and chopped with my 2 irish opponents for 850 euros apiece
thanks everyone , a truly memorable weekend
