Well for the record you were runner up  but as the winner was american then you were the top placed European and therefore classed as European champion..........  |

Why didn't you come and see for yourself Charmaine? Children?
I flew Mrs Moves out for a few days. It disrupted my poker playing no end!

UTG can double the Big Blind - This is another Blind Bet, but then has the option of raising BEFORE the flop. Example (and this DID happen) SB $1 BB $2 Me (UTG) straddle $4 (blind) all in all 7 callers of $4 Preflop my option and I riase $25 (still blind) 4 callers Flop comes I bet $50 (still blind) 2 callers Turn card comes I move all in (still blind) They fold and I win a $200+ pot |
