Turned out nice again and we haven't even put 'them' in their place yet..

No good yesterday, had a good table but no real momentum.

Lost a big flip in the end AKdd v QQ

Great to see you Tikay, the last time I think would have been 2015! Crazy

Back to reload again today, will be a busy one

Run well Vernon.

Thank you sir. Haven’t quite busted yet, and in more exciting news I can see Tikay is still in the PLO

Run well Vernon.

Table 14 seat 2!

Surely a winning seat!

Well as expected, that was carnage!!

Could someone tell me what Sof & KYC are please? It sounds like musical direction and fried chicken.

SoF = Source of Funds. i.e., they want to see if your source of funds is legit. Bit awkward if you happen to be dealing drugs or whatever. An excess of cash transactions are a big red flag I gather.

KYC = Know Your Customer. Much the same thing really. "You are gambling, where's that money coming from?"

And there's also AML which = Anti Money Laundering. Again, amounts to much the same thing. But the UKGC are increasingly frowning upon big stake cash games, as they are perfect AML camouflage.

The crazy thing is if you sell action / get staked you would then have to provide their source of income/ statements too in theory, is what I was told last night

You’re right I think, people will end up in underground/ dodgy games and do way more damage than good
Do you think that this will now be it/ the standard for good or it will do full circle down the line

Will you be gracing the hallowed turf this week Tikay?


I'll be playing the "little" (£300) 4 card PLO today. I swerved the big PLO thing, it was way above my standard with the likes of Osman Mustanoglu (who won it), Keith Johnson, Fat Mitch, Stato etc. Them boys would skin me alive.

I'm not even sure I should play the £300 PLO, these days they play so fast & I get taken off my feet. I'll enjoy the experience though.

I did play the 6 Max (61/207) & the Seniors (29/155) so no cashes thus far. Absolutely delighted to see Thewy win the Seniors though, especially as I managed to double him up with 30 left (24 paid) when I ran smack into his K-K, which left me with just 4 or 5 BB's.  

I won't play the NLH "Main", I'm out of my depth at the £1,500 NLH buy-in level, but I may play a sidey or two on Sunday &/or Monday. Can't play at DTD tomorrow as I've been invited to play the £240 SPT Manchester as a "Guest", with 2 bullets, so that's a gift horse I can't really miss.

Yes yes, I know, I'm truly blessed.

GL in whatever you play, & do come say Hi if you see me.

Awesome and good luck today, I will post my table draw on here anyway but let me know where you’re sat and I shall come and say hi! I believe the main starts an hour before the plo.
I also didn’t bring the golf clubs, which might be annoying if I manage to bag up today!

Seems to me that peeps could just provide statements from an every-day bank account whilst keeping the details of several iffy ones private.

Can’t be any better place to play can there??


I love it there, I really so, it's run & managed superbly imo, & none of this UKGC-inspired stuff is there fault.

I also played a few times recently at Grosvenor Coventry (Ricoh Arena or whatever it's called these days) & that's superb too. Jim McShane (77dave on blonde) ruins the Grosvenor Poker UK Estate these days & has got it nailed.
