Don't see a problem here, really. You've still got the £80 by way of the voucher. They're just doing what you told them to when you registered.

James Roe still there?

And one inrtrepid player played the Brighton Main Event, bust out, then drove the 2 hour or so trek to Luton, & courtsey of the Alternate System, also played the Luton Main Event! That must be a first.

That was his third tournament of the night, I got told.

I'm surprised to see Asy is second in chips. He's not usually one for tournaments.

The Times, Saturday January 26th, 2008.

"A hoard of more than a hundred false legs found in the cellar of a retired taxi driver in Dorset last August has been donated to victims of the earthquake that hit Pakistan in 2005......"

It wasn't their main present, just a stocking filler.

That one made me laugh. So very wrong. =P

Compo has it dominated. I just hope he comes back with his mind on the game, because he mentioned he wouldn't get any sleep.

I think I understand why trap one didn't want to deal. He obviously felt it worthwhile to see J. McBride out. I don't disagree, I guess.

I've sort of fallen on my feet since I started dealing d/c games. I'm the least experienced of those of us in our crew that deal it, but I haven't really found it to be as gut wrenchingly difficult as I expected it was going to be.

And, to be honest, if I can deal OH hi-low split then anybody can.


And yes, Richard, a rank plc share save scheme. One well worth the investment!

Last night was the first time i have had you deal to me in the dealers game and i think you did a great job. I was suprised to hear you have only been dealing it for 2 days as i assumed it was a lot longer as you did a great job.  keep it up  well done

Thanks. Not so smooth tonight, though. Still. Could have been far worse.

Cards should never be concealed as far as I am concerned, so I do think it's cheating.

OK. That's decided then. Off to Luton for tonights £500

Should be good if last night is anything to go by!

Any monkey can deal tournaments.

High stakes cash games are where it's at.

I was talking about cash games. =P

I honestly haven't got a clue.

We had six tables, so if I recall it was about 48 ish.

I know the prizepool was just under 20k.

I quite like the idea of this job advertised in my local paper.

Licensing Standards Officer. £20,353 - £24,308
Temporary until March 2010.

You will be responsible for enforcement of legislation relating to the liquor and gambling industries. You will preferrably have experience of working in a regulatory environment and preperation of reports for Committee/Court.

Problem is, I have no experience of working in a regulatory environment, or any of that preperation of reports stuff either. Do you think I would be able to blag it with experience of getting pisched and playing cards?

My mother works in the same line of work heading up the Licensing Department of a local council. She's on just under £50k a year with a company car.

It's a good path for a career, but I don't know how you'd fare trying to get the job without prior experience.

It was actually a decent turn-out. Better than I expected it would be, at any rate.

The cash game action was good, too.

I've sort of fallen on my feet since I started dealing d/c games. I'm the least experienced of those of us in our crew that deal it, but I haven't really found it to be as gut wrenchingly difficult as I expected it was going to be.

It is new, smart arse =P

Newish, at least.
