Vegas & The Aftermath - Diary

[tikay]

Also very briefly shared a table with perhaps the most irritating little man in poker, JJ, aka JJ Hazan, he of Dragons Den.

Briefly? Well, as in 1 hand, which fell between his 6th & 7th bullet I think.  

If you look carefully you can see a Trophy next to him, which he presumably won somewhere. He was using it as a card-marker. Never one to GIQ, was he?

He got that in a chop!

No!?

At Birmingham he arrived late, & he literally went to every table, brandishing his Trophy, & telling everyone how he won it. Then went round again & told everyone he would use it as a card-marker.

As it happens, the event was part of something called "PLO Masters" which, loosely speaking, he "organises". In truth I fancy Party organised it, he just added the Title.


Here, take a look...

He comes to Malta a few times a year where he is equally as popular.

He comes along with a few hundred others from Europe for The Festival Series. You should give it a go, it's held in several locations throughout Europe, so you don't even have to see me! Loads of different mixed games along with some Holdem stuff too.

Thanks Vinni.

Ill keep an eye on the schedules. The bulk of the MTT action in Fessies is usually NLH, & I'm not remotely good enough to invest in the cost of travel & hotels etc to play NLH, but if it includes a decent amount of the sort of Mixed stuff I can handle, then yes, I'd maybe come along.

That aside, how's life for you & the fam? What you up to?

OMG.

Seriously?

I don't really know what to say to that.....

Presumably not 'Take my £50, JJ'

We are all fine thanks, just plodding along working for an online casino and getting fatter. Life is good though, so I'll take that for now.

Great to hear you are enjoying retirement Tikay. 👋

Good grief, lovely to hear from you.

You still travelling the world, wating sport of every kind?

Unless I've got mixed up (an odds-on shot tbf) the last time we met was at a ball game (baseball) at Cashman Field (RIP) in Vegas.

Not a mix up, right person. Yup reckon that was 2014 WSOP, when we met at the baseball!

Life has changed a bit my end, the travelling world watching sport thing ended up with me meeting my now wife (cricket in New Zealand). Not so much travelling as I am full time dad to our daughter in South London. Work part time in cricket, mainly for Surrey County cricket club working on the scoreboards for pro cricket matches , so I still get plenty of sport in!
