Darius?

Who he?

[Marky_Crash]

A Scottish 'singer' who is probably most remembered for this bit of cringe...

Go on Tikay!!

Haven't heard a thing about him for years, wonder if he is still singing (hopefully not?).

His father was my mothers GP for many years.

He was married to Natasha Henstridge last I heard.

To be fair, once they got him singing normal songs he was alright.



Not a bad tune

Bugger. Was liking that table, had a great seat but the table broke so have been moved.

Drew seat 1 though, so that's a plus, as I can actually see the board cards now.

[tikay]

JJ busto, but will presumably re-enter. Don't mind if he comes to my table, he has a wide range but plays a "sporting game" and his chips are always in play.

[tikay]

Level 6 commenced, 250-500.

218 runners of which 147 remain, average stack = 22,347.

We have 24,600, so we are not without hope or optimism.

[tikay]

It is exactly 90 days since I last had a cigarette, and it's not been as difficult as I feared, but today I'm really gagging for a ciggie.

My table is by the rail, and everyone gathers there for a crafty drag between hands. What a weird and powerful thing addiction is.

[Nakor]

Cheers for the updates.
Run well when it matters.

Level 6 completed, 139 remain from 232.

Not much happening at all for me at the moment, just sitting there quietly like a good little boy.

Blinds go 300-600 after this break and I have 23,000, so almost 40 bigs.

Not had much by way of playable material so far. Always a dilemma, wait for the cards or force the action.

Will give it a little longer and if nothing happens will try the latter.

[tikay]

I make it 2,000 from the cut off with  

Two callers, off we go.

We see a board that could not really have hit me much harder......

 

Fella makes it 6,500 on the turn, I decide to raise to isolate, fella behind me shoves and the raiser calls.

In short, one bloke goes bust and I get three quarters of the rest.

39,000 @ 300-600, average is 29,385.

[tikay]

Heater alert.

Keep picking up little pots.

44,200.

Blinds now 400-800.

113 of 239 remain.

Just caught up with this during my post night shift ablutions. Hopefully I'll wake up to a report of outrageous rippage and Scoopio. Gd lick.

[Steve Swift]

And this is why we join your adventure, keep up the good work. A nice squeeze before the Monday drudgery begins.

Morning chaps. Honoured to feature during ablutions.

Just lost a nasty one in a three way pot when my A-2-5-K was counterfeited on the turn when I had top two, nut low draw and a flush draw.

The high went to KKK so my top two were no good, and the low went to A-3 man.

Not sure if I was unlucky not to get the lot, or lucky not to lose more.

Call it a draw.

Down to 30,000 now, and blinds (level 9) have just gone 500-1000.

98 remain from the original 239 hopefuls.
