Vegas & The Aftermath - Diary

[tikay]

What got under your skin mate?

I can't recall right now, & I don't intend to try.

*innocent face*

Mrs Bercow sends her regards.

Some wonderfully written posts today, Tikay. A lovely way to start the day.

I skim-read it. It was OK. (If you like that sort of thing.)

I guessed wrongly. I predicted you'd comment that the lovely posts I was referring to were on other threads.

Like the Groucho Marx quote:

"I've had a wonderful evening. This wasn't it"

Made my morning, anyway.

Are Skypoker not taking a team to WSOP this year?

Are you still going? Dates, plans?

I'm missing out this year (cannot believe its 10 years since Moneymaker, how its moved on since then !).

Q1) Pass. Would be a bit indelicate to comment right now, bear with me please. "I don't know yet" is the straight answer.

Q2) Yes.

Q3) June 14th to July 14th.

Q4) Playing non-stop for the first 3 weeks (detailed schedule to follow, not finalised yet but will include the $1,500 PLO8 on 17th June), & intermittently working during the Main Event, though I have a pass to play the Main if I so chose, as it would not intefere with the work they have planned for me.

Can't recall ever going to Vegas & not seeing you there, certainly for the past few years. You seem to have squatting rights on that Limit PLO8 Table at Venetian.

Ah nice, same flight as myself, Ryan and James Rann

You can buy me breakfast at Gatters then, happy days!

Just seen other thread, sounds like  it could be fun trip for you!

My next trip probably Octoberish for Venetian Deep Stacks thingy

The countdown begins...

[tikay]

News spreads fast, it seems.....long time before I go though. 2 weeks, 5 days and 22 hours.

After my round of golf today I weighed in at 12st.0lbs.

My Vegas belt is in to it's second hole too.

I wrote about this and agree with you.

I had not seen that before, Barry, but that is a terrific piece.

Yes, it deffo divides the poker community!

We know that, say, Sam Trickett, much liked & respected, plays poker a zillion times better than, say, Boris, or Ronaldo. But who attracts most media noise, who works Twitter, & even more importantly, SEO, better? The folks who, quite reasonably, like & respect Sam (as I do, too) already have poker accounts. They are mature players. Every mature player has already signed up. 

Any why do guys like Teddy not get more & better deals? There is an answer to that, which you know, but it is best I don't go too deeply into that right now.

The nut poker ambassador in my opinion was Greg Raymer, but those wheels fell off recently, too. He was a guy who understood SEO & all that stuff. Widely popular? Not so much. Really good at profile raising for 'Stars? Just a bit.

Remember, at the top of every successful Company are bean-counters. Quite right too.

Anyway, that is a great article Barry, congrats.

Plz do, intrigued.
