Pardon my ignorance. Is there a link for live updates please ??

A 'Wednesday' boy who appreciates The Thick Of It. Apart from Poker ability we're very alike.

Top man.

What Mr Hopkin said would, I imagine, strike a chord with most of us.

Its not just the way you view things Tom, its your seemingly effortless way of making us feel like we were there.

Forget poker completely. Your musings needs publishing sooner rather than later. I'm no Dickens but read a great deal ,and can assure you there are very few successful journalists in your league.

Please post more.

As for The Owls. They are unfortunately still struggling to reside in their natural 'Premiership' habitat. A creature of such stature, with the public adoration they have, should be flying high. Alas they aren't. However, we continue to travel the length and breadth of the nation to observe them. You are still welcome to join us one day. Its isn't ornothology in the truest sense of the word though and probably much less fun.

Aaaaah, I'd looked at gannon as well, but couldn't see a mention of play offs. Thats the badger...

Even with wikipedia to hand I have still got no idea then pal.

Greta question. Gary Ablett ? Malky Mackay ?

My views for what they're worth and that is very little...

Supreme - I wouldn't lay Dunguib with Triggs money. But McCoy is very keen on Get Me Out Of Here and PP are offering money back if dunguib wins. Price has shortened though.

Arkle- I'm with Captain Cee Bee. Somersby is the most natural jumper in the field, but horses for courses and 2 years ago my choice beat Binocular at the course.

William Hill - The Package has been backed and Murphy likes it, but IMO Bensalem would have beaten Diamond Harry last time out if it hadn't fluffed the (think) 2nd last. That is good enough form for me.

Champion Chase - Twist Magic ew, its twice the price it should be.

RSA - I've heard it all before. The speculation surrounding Punchestowns seems like a smokescreen to me and I think it should still be fav.

Ryanair - Obviously a funny distance, but should suit Barbers Shop who will never stay 3m at cheltenham.

World Hurdle - Big Bucks is different gravy. I'll be with previous Gold Cup winner War Of Attrition ew. Class is permanent.

Gold Cup - Imperial Commander ew , and would like a matchbet with Denman if its offered.

Triunph - Carlito Brigante.

Handicaps in general, just follow the Irish money.

And finally, my favourite race of the meeting and my biggest fancy. 'The Champion Hurdle'.  I've thought all along that last years novices were head and shoulders above the more experienced horses. Zaynar has been written off way too early and will stay every yard up the hill. Medermit and Khyber Kim have to be in the shake-up. But STARLUCK will win comfortably. I still believe they have been kidding us with it. So combi tricasts on the 4 and get your hard earned on Murphys mount.

Good luck all. I expect to have a strike rate of 0%.

Different gravy was Michael Foot. Met him as a young boy when my dad was a local councillor. He was incredibly eccentric and rude, yet somehow polite and endearing. That doesn't make sense, but neither did he...

Whats the book called please Tom ?

I live about 1.5 miles from Calow hospital. I've spent some time there myself...

Off subject somewhat Tom, but are you still a Wednesdayite ?? Will you attend a game with me and Trigg while we're still in The Football league ??

That sounds like IBS.

Sadddly imm not as litttterate as 'your' so crnt resopnfd. Thanks for your hekp. Youches a nerve

Wrong thread maybe m8, but so right on so many levels, without it being a level...

[ x ] You are all guilty of over analyzing every single hand of poker.

[ x ] Sometimes people get lucky.

[ x ] Having a degree in mathematics means nothing.

[ x ] Poker is far more complicated, and much less important than most things in life.

[ x ] The above staement could be a reverse implied odds oxymoron.
