Ooh, it's getting tight at the top, Alex excepted obv, after Snatty managed to finish fifth of 50-odd tonight.
Finishing third would have put him above his weight-loss compadre and into second but, as things stand, 0.03 separates the pair.

So, on to Raymond Peese. Middle-aged guy, silvery sort of Three Muskateer tache.

Oh my God. I've seen this guy playing the £5 rebuy before on a Sunday but never had the misfortune of sitting at a table with him. If you play with him in future, please tell him Chompy (and Snat) sends their regards (you slowrolling, colluding tosspot).

openly admitting to collusion as well - very odd. Anyone know how the stripey shirted poker expert got on?

Went out 8th or 9th. He was good value for a free lesson tho. If you managed to get him and Nirvana on the same table the lessons would be non stop. As for the slow rolling collusion expert it gave me huge delight when he went out sixth. My own classic moment of world class poker etiquette came on being knocked out. Please remember I came to the final table short stacked and have, as one would, attacked his big blind.

He has got the arse major league. So we get five handed and I shove with ten eight. He dwells up for a full twenty seconds. He turns to me and says "Do you feel lucky?". Well there is only one reponse "I always feel lucky". He waits another five seconds and says "then I will call" and he oh so slowly turns over kings. On the turn I get the flush draw and the up and down straight but miss. Strangely I wasn't bothered by his antics. He knew no better.

I have one more tourney left in me. Sixth or better puts me into second place. The only question is which am I going to play? Will Vinnie play also or is he playing a canny waiting game. How about a second placed showdown on the 30th Vin???

This thread has been a great read from start to finish – thank you.

When entering the league at the start of the year I wasn’t even sure I’d make 25 events.

The fun and community spirit you’ve created this league, got me quickly involved and helped me to get to know people quickly. Some 80 games later, I really miss Luton if I don’t attend in a week (as I haven’t since last Thursday’s adventure!).

Great stuff and thanks again.

Merry Christmas to all my new friends!

Here’s to a successful 2010 for you all (when not at my table  )

True too.   E.g. Reading this on Christmas Day is not too popular with SWMBO.

Top Ten 2009 Luton Nicknames - Official Review Of The Year (finally completed)

1. SIR DONKSALOT

(Natural habitat - Enfield Municipal Sauna)
(Latin names - Hannus Montanus, Chirpus Muchus, Floatus Rimmus)

Before he joined the Girl Guides in the autumn of 2009, Sir Donksalot had become one of the hottest properties in Luton, leaving behind an abysmal start to the campaign with a string of luckbox victories.
During the win spree, which earned him the moniker MDD Jnr in certain quarters, Sir Donksalot not only eased he's relegation fears but eventually usurped the Racing Post-nominated Best Player In Luton in the now-infamous Clown Stakes.
Other notable cashes have included when not winning APAT last autumn and when not beating cult figure Nick Salad heads up after finding aces 23 times in a donkament last summer.
The year 2010 promises much for Sir Donksalot, who's high on most lists of professional judges' players to follow and in more than his share of Fantasy Poker teams. Expect to hear some loud chirping once the weather warms up in the spring and he comes out of his cardboard box.

2. BRITISH GAS

(Natural habitat - Cash tables from 9pm)
(Latin names - Donkus Quickus, Rankus Goateyus)

British Gas burst on to the domestic scene in the summer, baffling the established Luton folk with a heady mix of fearless aggression and guesswork.
A quieter end to the campaign led to British Gas trying different styles of play and fashion, including attending the G dressed as a funeral director, growing a tez goatey and latterly donning Princess Leia headphones (although fortunately not the gold bikini to go with them).
Despite threatening to take a break from the game as a result of ‘running bad’, British Gas is one to watch closely in 2010.

3. SNITCHY

(Natural habitat - C&A, Threshers)
(Latin name - Flippus Floppus)

2009 was the year that saw Snitchy Glenn not only improve his game in leaps and bounds but also strike up a memorable comedy double act with veteran performer MDD (see entry no.4).
Despite a shambolic fashion display in Juuune, when opting to wear flip flops and that hoopy Grace Bros t-shirt for his WSOP debut, Snitchy Glenn has now become an established force at the G, latterly wrongly proclaiming himself to be the Best Player In Luton at other venues.
While a £4m Fantasy Poker price tag may seem excessive, Snitchy Glenn has improved to such a degree that he is now offering one-on-one tuition. He remains one to keep on the right side for 2010.

4. MDD

(Natural habitat - Final tables)
(Natural enemy - Dealers)
(Preys on - The weak, feeble, young, old, middle-aged, males, females. Also likes ice cream)
(Latin names - Dickus Grinchus, Curmudgeonasaurus Rex, Aceus Allinus Binkus Regulari)

As with comedy partner Snitchy, 2009 was the year that saw MDD finally bow to public demand and offer one-on-one tuition from his Bedfordshire base.
Expect demand to be high for his multi-dimensional services next season - indeed he is fully booked for several months in advance - so book now to avoid further disappointment.
Such has been MDD’s impact among regulars of all ages at the G that his catchphrase ‘If you’ve got an ace, go all in, most of the time they can’t call’ can now be heard during most tournaments.
Sharper than ever at the age of 93, MDD shows no signs of decline and fully deserves his position as the most expensive player in the Fantasy poker lists.

5. ROCKSTAR

(Natural habitat - o2 Arena, Top Shop)
(Latin name - Denimus Maximus)

With a game that put the ‘Rock’ in Rockstar, this Bon Jovi groupie threatens to be a name to watch during his first league campaign in 2010.
Although absent in recent months, having cleaned out Joe’s Talc Emporium during the sweaty summer months in a bid to ease into his denim drainpipes, Rockstar has continued to make his presence felt with his Michael Fish-like weather reports. He'll be back once the powder mountain has been replenished.

6. ALAN McBINK

(Natural habitat - Cleatus’s Cowboy Shirt Factory)
(Preys on - McDonald’s breakfasts)
(Latin name - Binkus Likeus Dickus)

Some would say it was a close-run thing as to whose game came on in most leaps and bounds during 2009, Snitchy Glenn's or Mr McBink’s, but the majority would just about give the nod to the latter.
When not found burying romantic trinkets for Mrs McBink in the back garden with his jewel-encrusted trowel, Alan McBink enjoys nothing more than donning his favourite line-dancing outfit for a trip to the G.
Tipped by many as the natural successor to MDD, Alan McBink has loosened his game considerably in recent times and the sky remains the limit.

7. COCO POPS

(Natural habitat - The fence)
(Latin names - Wishyus Washyus)

It took until late August for Coco Pops to make his decision between frosted shreddies and his now-preferred chocolate-flavoured treat, but then there was then no going back. Once he’d thought for a while longer and checked with Niall.
Coco Pops’ absence of late is now thought to have been due to baby leave, not because he’s been stuck in the cereal isle at Tesco, trying to work out the plus and minus points of Coco Pops Mega Munchers over his usual standard box.

8. USADENNIS

(Natural habitat - Etiquette Convention Circuit)
(Latin names - Fistus Pumpus, Choppus Negativi)

With his distinctive size 18 Clarks and rugby shirts, USADennis cuts quite the figure and is near impossible to miss.
Whether he’s requesting the dealer ‘give it to him one time’, table slapping, fist pumping or pistol whipping, there’s rarely a quiet moment when USADennis is in the groove, the obvious exception coming when stacked up and a deal is being mooted.
A book on poker etiquette is in the pipeline for 2010, while the hardy souls that have chosen him for their fantasy team will be hoping for plenty more fist action in the coming months.

9. THE FUTURE OF POKER

(Natural habitat - Boxing Day Hunts)
(Latin names - Pheasantus Shootii, Youngsterus Handsomus)

It was only midway through 2009 that the name ‘The Future Of Poker’ began to stick and already it’s looking out of date, such was the run of form that carried Mr Martin to an easy victory in the Luton league.
The future has arrived, the future is Alex, the uber-chatty youngster who’s frequently head hunted by Golf-wear magazine photographers.
Who knows where 2010 will take this young gun, but one thing for certain is that it will never be quiet.

10. HANDSOME PAUL

(Natural habitat - Milan, Catwalks worldwide)
(Latin names - Adonis Extraorindarus)

Feared by many at the table and admired from afar by more than would care to admit it, Handsome Paul is comfortable at any level of the game, his collection of shoulder-draped knitwear having been paraded around such exotic locations as Las Vegas, the Bahamas and Acton.
Hyper aggressive, one future leaguer has already gone on record as saying he hopes 2010 will be the year Handsome Paul gets it on with the equally stunning Lisa-Marie Long and adopts him. Watch this space…

Wasn't really a serious question, anyone who slowrolls is a tosspot or w/e imo. But Chompy said the same thing to me on another thread less than a week ago when I reacted the same way to being slowrolled.
