almost the 10 year anniversary of blatch gate, wonder what hes up to. anyone still in contact?

My most profitable staking investment ever

Think dubai summed it up best at the time when he said Blatch was the only person to ever make a substantial loss paper trading!

I’ve played very little since 2013 due to work and early mornings  but have returned once or twice to poker when I needed some funding ... been playing again since lockdown and having a great time of it.    Read this thread today and then spotted a DiscoDaveShallow chip lead in a 8k Gtd $10 rebuy on ipoker today - surely not is it ?   What’s Dave up to these days?

Nice one Doobs btw 👍🏻

Cheers Jim.  I had a big go at the million on Sunday too (23rd out of 16k doesn't pay as much as you'd expect). 

I have a feeling I saw Dave Shallow under his real name in a Party comp the other day, but my memory is bad and was likely multi-tabling (given I am unsure now, if he was at my table it can't have been for long).  I have seen quite a few old school names there when the real names have come on, though don't play there much.  I just checked his old crabmaki account and it has only got the odd tiny comp on it.  I would be interested in knowing what he is up to too, and if anybody has seen him on Party; he always said he didn't enjoy poker even when it was booming and he was crushing.

I know Dave Penly was mentioned a few weeks ago, and I bumped into him again in a comp a couple of days ago.  He is definitely playing quite a bit and I noticed he had a $40k score on Party a few months ago.  Also I noticed Bengt Sonnert got another big cash a few weeks ago.  Guess giving up completely is hard?  Has anyone seen Ben Grundy about?

Can confirm Dubai still hates poker. He's now a doting father to 2 kids & does of bit of hustling still in the sports betting markets. Hope you are well Doobs/Jim!

Another one pops in!

Hope life is good, Mr Mayhew 

Life couldn’t be better mate, took a while to get there but things are great. Hope you’re well too buddy 👍🏼

Ha , speaking of legends. Hi Ben.

My brother (Chris) is one of the computer based hunters in this. Like many I had a lot of questions about how the show was run, but actually it's pretty realistic. Or at least as it can be! The bugger won't tell me if anyone wins it though 😂

Sunday 8pm.

Had to check the date on the calendar to check it's not 2007.

Hope you are well Ben.

Life is great Keith! Thanks, hope you're well too pal. First post for a while I know!

Sorry assuming riv pairs JT9

Like betting turn. From oppo description I would say betting turn is gona induce straight flushes to raise which can only be a good thing considering our hand, assuming we fold to raise on turn of course. Betting keeps us with the lead with I think is important with the board texture.

If you do call a c/r on turn. What u doing if he a) piles riv b)checks riv

I quite like arbboy's tone in this thread, say what you think and say it to the public. Too many times you overhear people saying bla bla so and so is terrible amongst their private circles. Apart from getting a bit too personal Mark, I see nothing wrong with a little bit of fire in someone's belly now and again.

Don't worry about my £30. Charity is fine, there's more value in it

5% will find you later in DTD (Ben Mayhew)

on my way to a very random and last minute 3 days in faro. any recommendations for things to do?

Vilamoura casino (30 mins drive) has lots of pretty sick local gambling games. Some not seen in UK/USA. Also decent nightlife and couple of good restaurants.

Vale Do Lobo has 2 golf courses which are at worst PGA standard. Love that place.
