Vagueness and the Aftermath - A sporadic diary

You can totally straddle at 0.5/1 kinboshi!!!


Again there have been some really good posts, and gatsos is one of the most important.

The 1/2 games are excellent for making money and the straddle is just another thing of happyness.

I don't see why people are so worried about loose play, just sit with a shallower stack and say ty for the equities when they call it off too wide. Pick your 'targets' and know who will and wont gamble and how they will gamble.  Above all constantly be trying to improve and work on your game. Each time you sit at a game where you know most of the people you should know where your profits coming from (obviously your right) but also what moves will really increase your winrate.

My Big Fat Gypsy Wedding
Thursday 18 February
9:00pm - 10:00pm
Channel 4

"Traveller girl" Joan has been saving for her wedding since she was 13. She's now 22 and in traveller terms she is, she says without a trace of rancour, "a bit old" to be a bride. Joan's wedding dress, a baked Alaska concoction of satin and crystals, is so enormous she can only shuffle down the aisle of the church like a small ship on a white sea, as the waves of her gown bump the pews. Meanwhile, 16-year-old Bridget has to launch herself out of her wedding carriage into the arms of relatives as the billows of her dress make a bid for freedom some yards behind her. It might sound comical, but Osca Humphreys' affectionate, revealing film looks beyond the clouds of fabric to examine Britain's tight-knit gypsy community and its dearly held traditions, including tumultuous weddings and opulent bridal dresses. What emerges is a picture of a fiercely patriarchal society, where parents protect their daughters from the influence of dissolute "country girls" (non-travellers) and their drunken ways.

Cheers mate.

I've been alerted to this on here a few times already. (Thanks all)

Unfortunately, it's a selectively edited, sensationalist, and not really representative.

The moles are thriving, they're pushing hills up through the snow as we speak.

Tom, I hope I'm not stepping on toes - but why do Gypsy families allow such a misrepresentation when they're involved in the making of the show?

Of course you're not stepping on toes.

It's the same as with any other group. I might just as well ask why do Americans allow Jerry Springer to misrepresent them?

Touché.  I guess I wrongly assumed most (if not all) Gypsies were like you and your family.  I've always thought we were lucky to meet you.  Now I realise just how lucky!

Not really Lax, Just as much chance of meeting a better family than mine, or a worse one From any walk of life.

people have different ways, but the ratio of good to bad is pretty much the same the world over,
