As I understand fly pitching its kinda selling things on street corners or markets streets a la Del Boy. The lads in Sheffield used to get nicked every 2-3 months and turn up in court to plead guilty and pay the £25 fine, they used to cal it 'ground rent' every time they had to pay.
I can just imagine Tikay as the front-man for a three-card-monte(find the lady) crew  |

As a matter of interest, I got prosecuted for exactly the same thing (on other occasions) in Kings Lynn, Grantham, & Camborne.
Teasing residents about their webbed feet? Is that how you met Tikay Chompy? |

Was it perhaps for wandering around hotel corridors in the wee small hours dressed only in underpants ?

I guess I ought to insert a token piece of poker chat now & then, so did anyone see this hand from yesterday's Live Update? Tourney Life is so cheap these days. Though I'm sure everyone wll be on my case & say the play was good. This is C & P from yesterdays splendid DTD live Update by his Tight-Ness. "Quite a hand here Mark Westbrook raises to 3600 utg Paul Rayner flats as does the button Rick Trigg pushes for 14,000 more from the big blind Westbrook calls Rayner calls! Button passes So we have a three way coup and a 60,000 side pot for starters flop    Westbrook pushes Rayner beats him into the pot for a 80,000 main pot, and 140,000 in total Triggs flips   Westbrook   Rayner   turn and river   and Paul Rayner becomes an enormous chip leader ....." The mind boggles. Paul came and sat next to me shortly after this hand and told me all about it. 10400 to call, over 30k in the pot so worth a look at a flop. "If the guy shoves instead of flatting the 14000 I obviously pass"Fair enough. That judgement is poor imo. He thinks it's an obvious pass if Westbrook shoves all his money in...but Rayner must at least figure Westbrook is gonna shove all his money in on the flop. So what's the difference? The guy gets to see 3 cards with his 7-10 costing him 14k before deciding that his hand is an obvious pass if Westbrook moves all-in? Which he will do a lot of the time with what must look like a genuine hand when he flats pre. Just looking at pot-odds in isolation without any anticipation of post flop play doesn't justify the call at all. And those considerations are just about Westbrook. He's still gotta beat Trigg across 5 cards with 7-10 or he trebles up a good player. The call was very poor and I thought Trigg got properly mugged there. The Jacks play is fine if Westbrook thinks Rayner makes the call with hopeless hands imo. As you very well know Mr Mantis, when someone makes a "creative" play, they can always justify it. Nobody ever makes a mistake, don't you see? He got me too, sigh. |
