..and on a humorous note, the £2 £2 6 Card PLO game at DTD plays quite chunky, especially when straddled to £5 & then potted, but when the game starts everyone can only sit with the £250 Max.

So quite often they ALL go ALL-IN first hand, so they have a stack to play with.

Responsible Gambling, see?

Quick hint Vern - ARRIVE EARLY.

Assuming you are already signed up, &, more importantly, FULLY VERIFIED on the WSOP+App, you still have to face the problems posed by "Safer Gambling Week".

This involves a (mandatory) questionnaire with the questions pre-entered into an i-Pad.

It's not difficult, but there's only 5 or 6 i-pads & so quite a queue builds up.

Questions are basic stuff, Name, DOB, Postcode, have you ever had a gambling problem, what your job or profession is, income band, so on & so forth.

In addition, if you spend in excess of £1,000 in cash games (I'm unsure if this applies to Tournaments but I'm told it does) then you have to do a SoF & KYC check, which basically requires you to explain your source of income, & supply 3 months of Bank Statements.

None of this is DTD's fault, it'll all part of a wider UKGC purge. I gather they have already forced a Casino in Leeds to close. It's all box-ticking of course, but that's where we are at.

Incidentally, to sit in a cash game at DTD now the MAXIMUM sit-down is £250, & then £250 increments. And once you get to £1,000, then the SoF & KYC checks have to be negotiated.

Thoughts?

As good a chance as England have had in a long time to win an away ashes series. The bowlers are fit and bowling quick and with the Aussie attack 2 down it could be a great chance to go one up in Perth.
I feel it comes down to how we bat, Root I think will go well, as will Crawley in those conditions. They will look to go short at duckett and brook, will the later be able to hit it 20/30m more to clear the boundaries on the bigger grounds?
Smith I think will score well as always but Marnus form is probably key for them

Predictions?

I have no clue what side we will show up with. But I’m going 2-2 with a rained off show where

The last time I saw Keith was over 20 years ago.....a lot has changed, dropped, creased since then....

Came to Malta this week for some poker/ sun and the promise of being treated to dinner by Celtic. Landed was then harassed all evening, and had to pay for his fillet steak.

Unbelievable!

Hope all is good with the blondes! Still a daily scan of the forum for me.

Life is good! Own business, cricket season was successful and playing as much golf as I can.

Day two of the main in Malta later!

Much love apart from to Vinny

Vern ❤️

Old dog, same tricks!!

Got me with that one when I was out there back in 2018

Knew it was coming when he asked for the fillet steak!
Not sure his promise of a chicken burger at the Luton G is much of a repayment to me

Offering up Luton G as a venue just increases the odds of a freeroll for him
