BlueSquare.com London GUKPT: Day 1A - Interactive

[snoopy1239]

Greetings one and all and welcome to the Interactive live update of the London GUKPT at the Grosvenor Victoria in London. If you're as excited as me (about 11 on the woohoo scale), then you'll be pleased to hear that we kick off at the poker-player-heart-sinking time of 2pm. As always, your blonde poker update team will be present, this time boasting a team of three comprising of a dog, a cat, and a fish... and we all know who's at the top of that food chain. 

Of course, that motley crew is myself, Junglecat and the-I'd-better-say-she's-lovely-or-else-I'm-in-the-dog-house-...again Dana 'banjo, banjo, I love banjos!' Immanuel. I don't currently have a player list at hand, but I fully expect the usual suspects to be there - Dave 'shaky eyeballs' Colclough, Julian 'golden yoyo balls' Thew, Mickey 'the immovable object' Wernick, and co. Also gracing the felt with her presence is Ms Jen Mason, currently warming up for her week of poker by er... sitting on the couch drinking wine (they're like Rocky these poker pro's, always training).

Anyhow, enough of my waffling, let the games begin. Oh, no, hold on, not yet, play doesn't start till tomorrow, so I shall see you then! As always, feel free to throw any requests our way. This is an open forum, so we're more than happy to grab a chip count, photo and whatnot of any participant (even the scary looking ones), but make sure you let us know.

Bonjour, as Del Boy would say.

Ah. Just spotted. An early (but possibly not 100% accurate) list of players, accompanied by betting odds. Click the link below to view the book:

Cooee, I'm a link, click me, I shall show you ways for you to spend money

Anyone spot a good bet there? Surely reigning champion Leo Kam is a steal at 250-1...

If you're looking hard for the value Flushy, here's my foolproof, step by step guide on how to find it.

1) Walk into the bathroom.
2) Stand in front of the sink.
3) Slowly....look up...

Glub...

I agree with Snoops, Kam is a good bet here. The young Canadian chef ( though after his fine double GUKPT final table performance last season, he may conceivably have changed career to poker pro by now) was very impressive last year in the race for the title and it looked for all the world like he, or the (I hesitate to use the word "shiny") accomplished Nick Gibson would take the chequered flag from around 40 players out. Indeed both made the last 3 before Kam accelerated majestically through the final few laps to take down the trophy and plaudits.

Whatever, it should prove an exciting four days of poker, especially with the rare sight of the one and only poker legend that is "The Devilfish" at a GUKPT event.


On a side note, I am currently in the midst of renovating a flat. I spent yesterday single handedly carrying 3/4 of a ton (no exaggeration!) of wooden flooring up three excruciating flights of stairs, meaning my body has been left battered and bruised, feeling like it has been run over by a tractor (possibly on the M25).

However all my aches and pains melt away at the prospect of teaming up FOR THE FIRST TIME with that canine gargantuan of the poker updating scene....SNOOPY!

I'm having puppies at the prospect of seeing my doggy colleague in action for the first time, although if he is still sporting that dead rodent on his chin, then the claws might fly! I am obviously no less excited at re-joining the multi talented Dana, whose comical , yet cultivated style always keeps everyone entertained.

She doesn't just flaunt advanced literary skills though, oh no. You may not be aware of this but she has recently been nominated for a music award.

She's far too modest to tell you about this herself (on this thread at least!) but feel free to click the link below to register your support for her. She's really a quite excellent musician.

Enough from me for now...Good luck all taking part, a mouth wateringly momentous day beckons.

Leo Kam warmed up for this by somehow managing to get knocked out of the Saturday night comp at the Empire before I did, and I never even made the first break.

Leaving a minute gang, having to drive to the Vic as i cant justify the expenses. Not the hotel bills, just the drinking sessions that accompany this tour.

Remember the congestion charge

[DaveShoelace]

I see Im not up on the bluesquare odds list, I presume that means they stopped taking bets? Is that a 'winner w/out Barry Carter' line?
