Nothing much new going on, but...

The new parkrun course was slower than the old one.  Turns out lots of grass is worse than a few small hills.so lost at least a minute first time on the new course, and have been in all sorts of trouble when it has been hot.  But it was pissing down on Saturday morning, so at least 5 degrees cooler.

As it was wet, I dug my trail shoes out, and they felt better on the grass which has a lot of ruts in (this should have been obvious?). So Saturday I missed my PB by 4 seconds.  Think it was a combo of better shoes and better weather.  Think the rain put off a lot of people, so the start wasn't as crowded, and there were less people to go around too...  Strongly suspect it is us at the more casual end that were less likely to turn up.

Anyway still doing 1km a day running, and up to 16 parkruns this year. Can't do parkrun this Saturday, and am going to have to do a tour after that as my local one is shut for a few weeks.  Going to have to try harder to get midweek runs in for a bit.

No point in trying to ladder today.....

Nice report,run well on Sunday Gramps

Thanks David.

Two questions for you....

1) Slot. Agree or disagree with his dismissal?

2) How happy on a scale of 1 to 10 (assume 10 is World Class, someone of Arteta's standard) are you with your new Manager?

1. Agree, our play was so poor something had to change.
2.Probably 8 .Theres a lot to like about the guy. We can only dream about having a manager so talented and charismatic as Arteta.

Nice one Tony, I hope to join you tomorrow.  2 bullets no joy yesterday.
Down to 7k (from 25k) after 5 hands today but somehow on 1st bullet with 55k first break.  Crazy game .
Good luck tomorrow if I don’t see you - which hotel did you move to ?

Morning Rob.

I had a peruse of the WSOP App but never saw your name there, no good? What's today's plan?

Hotel palaver - I never changed Hotels, I changed Rooms. There's some obscure Nevada State Law that says you are not allowed to book more than 10 or 12 days at a time & Boyd Gaming, who own The Orleans, enforce it. So I had 2 bookings, back to back. Checked out at 11am, went & did some shopping, came back an hour later & checked back in.

Hi Tony

You most certainly have not "butchered" your stack. You have what looks like an average stack. Perfectly playable. And you have only dropped down from above average. Not a chip leading stack.

You have given detail about any decisions that, with the benefit of hindsight, turned out to be unwise. Something completely normal in Big O And no detail at all about the rather more hands where, either by luck or skill (almost certainly a bit of both) your stack has grown. Be just as proud of your good plays as critical of your bad. Well done today. And good luck tomorrow.

PS. You mentioned you were "pushing 80". From which direction? 

You were doing so well until then....

NB - for those unaware, Phil & I used to be friends.

I'll do a bit of googling in the morning, look up their Hendon's, but the first name I spotted was Seat 1, Nathaniel Weisner. There's a gang of us who play all the split pot Omaha stuff in Vegas every year & we all get along well, and I've known Nathan for some years, in fact we use the same hairdresser. He's a lovely fella actually.

My table draw.....
