Hi Tikay

All good here, sadly not in contact with hardly anyone from Next Door, although I am FB friends with Tom (Tomgoodun) and Paul Jackson (Jac35? You know 'not the poker player', is he still beating you at golf?) I very occasionally pop into the Discord group (I think you're in there too) just to keep an eye on things although there's not a lot of chat about £3 - £5 PLO8 DYMs and MTTs. I really miss the table banter I have to say, it's not the same just being able to post a 'nice hand' or 'you're a pro'.

I played tennis yesterday evening, outdoors, minus 1 feeling like minus 5 apparently, I know I didn't get warm enough to move. They asked if I wanted to play again this evening, thankfully we are out to the theatre, it should be warmer there. I even played a 1st team match the other weekend, I am now 60 so it's a sad reflection of the youth of today that we couldn't get 4 younger, fitter, better players out. We lost obv.

It sounds like you have it all sorted at the moment, I enjoy reading about your ventures, please keep us updated.

I am very, very nearly retired. Contracts being drawn up and hope to be out in a few months after the hand over. I will certainly miss my clients but won't miss the BS and paperwork. I hope I enjoy retirement as much as you do.

It took you 6 hours to ban him Tikay. Please enlighten us as to what you were doing between 4.40 am and 10.40 am as you were obviously slacking.

p.s. Happy New Year.

Fair point Tuney.

Happy New Year to you too mate, hope all is well with you & yours, & that The Country Estate is in good nick, ditto the fleet of Supercars.

Still playing (veterans) tennis?

Are you still in touch with any/many of the crew Next Door? I got invited to a recent SPT & bumped into some of the lads, but that apart I've not had any contact. Too busy really, pokering, golfing, taking Gill here & there, it's been fabulous.

That's the OP, not Boo. Though it's tempting, obv.

Banned his spammy arse.

Post more.

[Will next door be doing anything this summer around the WSOP?]

Haven't been over for nearly 3 years, but need to make a trip out before 2028 to keep my 'comp' status alive with MLife.

Will next door be doing anything this summer around the WSOP?

Will likely only pop over for a week, but will probably plan it around something in the WSOP as I'm in Cardiff when the UFC card is on.

Hi Mark.

I retired last May so I've no idea what Sky Poker's Vegas plans are this year. They still invite me to SPT's which is very kind of them, so if I get another invite in the near future (if indeed SPT's continue) I'll ask.

I plan to go across though, hopefully the same sort of thing as last year, 3 or 4 weeks whilst the various Omaha stuff is on, mainly Big O & a bit of Mixed Game stuff, which I've become partial to, especially 2-7 Triple Draw & the like.

I'd book it now if I could, but it depends when my favoured stuff will be running. Last year they front-loaded the Series with all the Big O & Omaha Mix stuff & the other Rooms all followed suit, so it was perfect for me, & I'm hoping very much they do the same this year. I have no interest in playing any NLH over there (maybe a Seniors or two but that's it) as I'm completely shite at NLH & it does not give me the buzz & zing that the Big O & Mixed Game stuff does.

All health permitting, obv, but at the mo I seem to be in acceptable if not decent nick.

How are you coping these days?

I did recall you'd finally taken a well overdue foot off the gas and moved onto the golf tour, but as you'd been there so long wasn't sure if they'd have you helping unofficially.

I couldn't do that long now, and the last time we went after dad passed I was done in after two weeks, and didn't even drink.

I've got some rooms booked on random dates in June/July, but will obv cancel/rebook if anything crops up that takes my fancy.

Can't remember the last time I played, but would likely be dipping into the dark arts if I did play anything. At least I've got a built-in excuse when I get rinsed in those, as I've only been playing 5 minutes

Not long now, and you're probably racking up some serious miles on the course which will keep you in good nick for some traipsing around Vegas come June!

Must be up to about 30 MRIs now, and they've still not found a brain, but all good other than that!

I did reply to your kind message, once I realised that I had been logged out after not being on for a period of time, I guess
