i am 21 and have been smoking since the age of 15, what i have realised is that heavy smokers don't actually realise if they need one or not.
I smoke about 20 a day but when sitting down on the setee for a 6-8 hour session i need a 40 deck for my piece of mind.
   When at a non smoking cardroom i feel it is bad etiquette for a player to look at his cards and leave them, effectively passing out of turn so they can go for a quick ciggie, but i also don't like the blokes with the fans the size of a windmill, blowing cold air everywhere.
There has to be a happy medium.  But on the other note if people are that opposed to smoking card rooms like notts or sheffield, they shouldn't turn up. And vise versa for the Grosvenors. However the breaks in the grosvenor tourneys give smokers the chance for a ciggie, as well as the option to go for one whenever you want.

I personaly feel that Smoking should be banned from all u.k cardrooms. This may even help existing smokers stop, as if you can go up to 8 hours without a fag in pressure times at the poker table, you can go without a fag full stop. Maybe someone can bring this issue up at the Grosvenor meeting.

ul is this tourny weekly now cus had a good laff, p.s on my table u limped in latepos with AJ then rr'd a blind steal ill watch out for that next time

no just a bit of banter, p.s thought u played a very good tight aggressive game--- did u make the money? and will this tourney be every week?  that casino has good potential imo for a festival

think i played on the same table as her at leeds on friday( i had a short sleeve pink shirt ) didnt realise she is a total m.i.l.f  she had lots of table banter and think she may have made final table. thanks to carl for signing us lads in and we may be venturing up soon as the casino gala, is a very nice place and i was surprised how well the tourny was run for a self-dealt comp. but six players none making the final out of 77, is a poor showing but 4 of us were playing live for the first time, and all said how much they had enjoyed it. 

Just wondered what the most annoying thing in a poker game is bear in mind the first two are when it knocks you out of a tournament.

don't fancy signing 4 lads from sheffield in do you graculus, there will be a couple of pints in it for you.

I take it that I will have to see if anyone can sign me in outside the door, i expect it to be 2 or 3000 starting chips and a 20-30 min clock

Going up on friday with some friends of mine, if anybody is as desperate for all the dead money as me and is going, could you please sign us in, there will be a drink in it for whoever helps,  Its at the Gala in Leeds,
                                                                                               cheers

Myself and a friend of mine were sat in the final of a small comp last week and my friend inevitably raised on the button, the bb looked in deep thought and then 2 minutes later showed A4 of diamonds, face up as if he'd passed KK. my mate laughed and said of they were off suit ud need a spedometer  to measure how fast uve mucked em. 

also i think the funniest things in small re buy comps are the bad beat stories, i love hearing them, it makes me piss my pants. They are exagerated the next time they were told. the Ace that fell went from the flop to the turn and then to the river, and the pot goes from a decent pot to the biggest of the night, and they would have always won the comp if thier KK would have held up.


This is becoming quite a rant........  in a comp last week i raised pre flop with AQ the flop came AA4 i checked he bet turn 7 i check called again
the river was a blank and i check raised all in, the player then said " we'll there's only 2 more aces in the deck whats he chances of him having one" "i call" he called with 10 4 os i just said unlucky. he said " O you did have one"  I said u were really unlucky there were only 2 more in the deck.

its worth just turning up to these events for the entertainment value! + if u play a tight aggressive game u will final 8/10 times,


p.s i really enjoyed that post Snoopy.
