Am I right in thinking poppers and amal nitrate is the same stuff?

Amal nitrate? I always find that makes me 'looser' at the table

I restricted myself to crack, whizz and scooby snacks yesterday. It was a proper tournament after all.

Excellent news that Raj is back, no boring, quiet tables when she's dealing.
Good to hear you've broken your Seb duck Tikay, there really is nothing quite like playing with Tim NBD.

Seb? Never seen anything quite like it!

He's just extraordinary. It's almost like he plays with a death wish on his stack. He played every hand except 4 pre the first break last night. Then he found a decent hand, got multi-called & sucked out by some scally, & said "how could you call?"......

i honestly think he has potential.

There was a time when I thought the same thing, but alas I was wrong. Seb is destined to follow Avi over to the dark side. There is no hope, only pain.

More outstanding work Jeeves, keep it up, this is becoming the stuff of legend

Early to mid November is the time to be in Vegas imo, besides which Luton is more picturesque and Seb plays there

Fight fight fight fight

whats the book on this? I make flushy 10-1 outsider, odds that short purely because sicilian could be blinded by flushies choice of shirt.

Hmm, difficult one to price up this, wouldn't like to call it. We'd need an independent witness, though, as The Sicilian has a history of claiming victory when he's actually finished second...

Of course, I make 94% of final tables at Luton

Fight fight fight fight

I worry more & more about the way Tourney Poker is run in this country, & I suppose it's been thrown into contrast because I'm just back from Vegas, where they are not scared to impose penalties on miscreants.

I have seen so many "indiscretions" at the Poker Table this week, & not one of them has been punished, or the player penalised, or admonished, in any way, shape, or form. In one instance, the geezer repeated the offence (broke a House Rule) EIGHT TIMES & still never got penalised! Why have Rules if we can all ignore them?

At Luton on Wednesday, the lovely ambience was well & truly smashed by some guy who decided it would be clever to repeatedly act out of turn, sometimes betting before it was he to act, sometimes just leaving the Table before it "got to him", & thus Passing out of turn. Eventually he pulled a shocking stroke by betting out of turn before 3 others could act. This is against the Rules, for the avoidance of doubt.

So, noting not a word had been said to him, I asked the Dealer what he planned to do about it.

"Do you want the Floor called, & a Ruling?" he asked.

"No, I want you to take appropriate action, it's your job to police the Table, not mine".

"Well I can't do anything then" said the Dealer.

"Eh?"

So he then said to the Player, now on his 4th or 5th "stroke", "please don't do that again", The player smiled. And raked in the pot.

I could have called "Floor", or asked Nina to take action, but this is just not how it should be.

Come on Casinos, get your act together. Players are doing as they please, & the game is descending into anarchy. We see appalling table behaviour, deliberate rule-breaking,  but nobody - nobody ever - gets Penalised in the UK.

What was it Radiohead sung?

"When I am King, you shall be first against the Wall"......

They have this spot on in Vegas. First sign of anyone doing something they shouldn't the dealer will call someone over and the player will be given a warning, 'Do that again and you're on the rail for 10 minutes'. That normally has the desired effect. I'm going tens on it was Seb who was up to the tricks as usual.

Nah, can't have JJ, 77 is more likely. Pissed bloke, it would have to have some kind of runner-runner heart/straight possibility.
