1%  please Tony, can I send from Stars ?

Steve

Afternoon Tikay.

As said before, defo in for some % in the staking plan this year again please.

I do get confused with it all, so can you just let me know how much 1% would be in Sterling Pound notes.....or a rough figure how much £50 - £75 would cover.

I will bank transfer the amount when known. Same bank deets as I have from last year?

I so hope you find time to put a courtesy wake up call into Jeeves.......that is so much fun to read when stuck at work.

Lastly......best of luck!! Enjoy the 'break'  

[scotty77]

I'll take 3%. Bank transfer of cash in Vegas. Actually I'll take a look at what I'm playing and prob just do a swap? Will PM you.

[shipitgood]

In for £50 please Tikay.

[Simon Galloway]

[tikay]

It's funny how poker theory swings back and forth. Fifteen years ago(?), the likes of Gary Jones (IIRC) were advocating the 2.2x opens. Ten years ago, Chris Ferguson came out with "If it's good enough to call, it's good enough to raise".

We'll all be folding queens to a three bet soon.

Hi tikay, I'd like 3% if poss? Hope you're well!

It emerged that Miss Rausing is a member of the famous family who founded, & still run, Tetra Pak.

Tetra Pak are HUGE, employ 25,000 people in 170 countries.

And these days, Kirsten appears to be running Tetra Pak. Oh my.

The family are a right mixed bunch, & includes a few wrong 'uns, some of whom have had a few problems with drug use, & one of whom (her brother I think) was originally charged with murdering his wife a few years ago, later reduced to "delaying the proper burial" of her. I think he was then sent to an institution for the mentally unstable.

Tetra Pak began their business with the invention of the tetrahedron food package.....

Click to see full-size image.

From that little acorn, one of the world's most successful products - flexible food packaging - began.

If you buy milk, orange juice or whatever in a flexible package, chances are it is a Tetra Pak thing.







That milk carton does not look special, but.....


Upon visiting the Tetra Pak factory in Lund in the 1950s, Danish physics professor and Nobel Prize laureate Niels Bohr allegedly claimed to "never have seen such an adequate practical application of a mathematical problem" as the tetrahedron package and the innovation of the milk tetrahedron,

Simply, but devestatingly successful.

I'm sure most of you are yawning now - carry on - but what a story, & I learned all that from seeing the woman interviewed yesterday, & the greatest miracle of life as we know it - the internet.

OK, poker next, just for a change.

Plenty of companies use very similar packaging with similar names, like most business ideas, but must pay some sort of royalties down the line

Oooh, was thinking this was ages away, but just 11 days.  Going to miss it.  Was hoping to play the big plo8 on Stars tonight.  So after looking forward to it for an age I discovered yesterday that the 2 days in the title was a typo.  Playing poker til 11am just isn't possible for me, so you better bring something home to compensate.

Let me know which you prefer 5 of everything or about $500/£300 worth of the big ones.  I guess you'd prefer the latter to reduce variance.  Really is up to you.

[typhoon13]

Happy to take 5% if poss

Will go along with Doobs if it helps......Let me know which you prefer 5 of everything or about $500/£300 worth of the big ones.  I guess you'd prefer the latter to reduce variance.  Really is up to you.

[MANTIS01]

Yes happy to take upto 5% depending how many people you want on board. Just tell me how much and if it's the same deets as last year.

[tikay]

1%  please Tony, can I send from Stars ?

Steve

Hi Steve,

Yes, of course, 1% BOOKED.

Thank you.

[tikay]

One is good. If both Steve and I send ours, you'll have a scoop medium hi/lo buyin. Lovely structured affairs, you'll be right at home (literally, sat next to the coffee pot).

Thanks Adam, 1% BOOKED, thank you.

Bank TX preferred over 'Stars, if posssible please.

More on this (enboldened) in next Post......
