The supplicant kissing of feet in the G cardroom is frowned upon by Kalum!

Can't believe that dude threatened to deck a little old man - shame on him.  Deffo need a new nickname for Snitchy though.

Grats once more to G-Rodge in the £5 rebuy and this time he pushed the boat right out and even took a couple of rebuys. Sixth place (plus bonus points; 8 total) behind girating Andy Liew, as D'Artagnan watched on.
So, on to the main event. Play of the final table saw Hamed Jalfrezi limp utg for 2k, Phil Hellmuth bump it up to 7k next door and Hamed then shove for about another 10k with A9 into AQ. Hamed of course binked the nine, sending Hellmuth on a quick circuit of the poker room. Jalfrezi went on to finish a well-deserved second.
So, what of Sir Donksalot, who started the final table with 93% of the chips in play? Well, Chompy Index set his finishing position at 5.5-6.5 as the action got under way on table 2, so +ev and a small profit for the buyers. Well done all.
Otherwise, it's time to embrace the fact that we may be seeing a celebrity winner of the Blondeite Trophy this year, as TV's Tony Kendall grinded his way to third and another 9pts.
Fantasy points also to Megadonk (4) and Jim McBink (7).

[Chompy]

Can't believe that dude threatened to deck a little old man - shame on him.  Deffo need a new nickname for Snitchy though.  

The line that sent him spinning was: "But the chances are I've won more in one tournament than you've won in your entire poker career."

Can't stop chuckling at that line. Just vintage Nirvana.

[TightEnd]

So, Mogadon Monday has passed away into the ethers of Carmel's brain after a management meeting I have been sent the minutes of anonymously...

Surely Kalam's Bingo night ("A pair of ducks...22...all in...chips please) is off the radar...


so where tf can I go to play tonight?

[Chompy]

Has to be the G anyway imo.
The place is going to be packed to the rafters with celebs, including Tikay, the lovely Lisa-Marie and Richard Bacon.
Night in here though, peat-harvesting season nearly here. Need rest.

oh my days.  deffo telling his carer to up his meds before he's allowed out on his own again.

[TightEnd]

The G Casino Luton, a haven of peace and tranquility where once within the four walls any sense of management common sense can be abandoned along with all hope of ye who enter it

The Managers are settled around the plywood table. In the corner, Kalam is polishing the metal frame of the white board, whilst surreptitiously sniffing the marker pens, hoping Carmel won't notice.

Carmel calls the meeting to order with a "ra-ta-ta-tat" of her Yves Saint Laurent glasses on the table.

Kalam returns to the table, and his chair, unsteadily. An inane grin on his face that goes unnoticed by all those used to it


"So then" opines Carmel "Monday nights"

"40 runners each week, nice crowd. Popular with our minor regulars but I have problems with it"

The assembled team shuffles nervously, until Ian bravely asks the obvious question

"Why?"

Carmel stares at him with a look practiced from Adebayo's look she first saw on those splendid rookie nights twenty years ago. Oh how she pined for those days, a packed card-room, the cry of "CHIPS" punctuating the riffle of chips with a monotonous regularity that kept the tills ringing and paid for her holidays to Lanzarote twice a year.

She brought herself to focus on the issue. In the corner Raj and Dan were staring mournfully into each others eyes, wide-eyed and watery and as innocent as a young doe and buck gambolling on the fields of Luton Hoo. In the centre Nina was drawing a picture of Jonny Vaccuhoover and had already made large holes where the eyes were. At the other end Andy Lyew had somehow infiltrated the meeting and was throwing shapes to a silent beat, ignored by the others. Ian Willmott had already passed out behind the bar that the team had installed in the memeting room some months only, accounted for as "captial expenditure" and approved by Head Office alongside "new super duper website, to be updated weekly"

Finally Carmel spoke

"It goes on too long. Old nits pass until 4am, play a hand and then deal four ways for £300 each. It would be ok if Sicilian and Nirvana ever stayed in long enough to reach the final but no, its always the bloody nits. Pass..Pass....Pass"

"No cash games. Where are Poole, Avi and Gas when I need them on a Monday night?"

"None of these regulars ever play the house games. They order tea and water and don't spend behind the bar. Unless Drainy comes. They discuss some bloody poker league on some bloody forum and spend a whole level trying to get savers for sixth and seventh. I have had enough"

Raj stopped staring into her fiance's eyes whilst simultaneously browsing "Weddings for Croupiers, a 72 part series in association with K-Tel" and asked

"So what are we having instead?"


Carmel rose, and stood proudly

"Rebuys are back. £10 rebuys. It's what my gambler punters want. Spend a ton, spend another ton on the roulette, sink a few beers, and home in time for a quick fumble at midnight. Work the next morning. Good night had by all and those flipping blonde league tossers with their arty farty in jokes can go somewhere else on Mondays. Mondays are mine"

and with that Kalam flipped a switch on the PA system and out wafted the unmistakeable strains of




Kalam stood alongside his boss and let out an almighty cry

"to battle, for the G, for Head Office and for cereals! Charge"


[   ] see you later.

haha - great stuff Tighty

Tighty - do as our League Eider suggests.

Due to bad planning/timing, I have to be there tonight for that goddam stupid bonk-a-donk Rebuy thing (with a Guarantee that's not a Guarantee), so the least you can do is come along, too. I'll fix it so that you get to snog Lisa-Marie, or even the new slimline Orford if it helps.

see you there. LML better not back out.

A thoroughly pleasing Evening at Luton-G, & after a late decision to reluctantly swerve DTD (I had nose-pad issues), it was almost like old times at the G.

Opening Table was com. 5 stacks, but only 2 players present, BirdForum & myself - & oddly, I'd paid in all three of the away players. (SiciliDonk, Chomps & Ding).

BirdForum & I openly colluded for 2 Orbits, taking it in turns to min-raise & steal the Blinds from the three Absents.

BirdForum creases me up with his one-liners - he might be Chomp's brother, or even son.

As George (Kiss?) wandered past the Table, not looking at all well, Captain Kirk cheerily says "Hello George, I heard you were dead". "No" says George".

Then, noticing the slightly suboptimal quality of George's non non-iron shirt, "did you iron that shirt with a walnut?".

Sadly, his humour was soon to absent itself, as Donks & Chomks arrived & started playing proper poker.

that's never getting through

Name the player.

The SAME "player" made these two plays last night. Name him.

Mr X Raises it up pre in Level 2, gets re-raised, snap flats.

K-T-3.

Mr X checks, Young Gun bets, Mr X flats.

Turn, 9, so K-T-3-9.

Check check.

River 7. So, K-T-3-9-7

Check to Young Gun, he bets about the Pot, 3k. Mr X snap-calls.

Young Gun shows 2-2 (!!!), Mr X scoops with.......5-3. Then says "I call a shove on the end".

Later, Mr X, playing plenty now, clashes with Luton's Phil Hellmuth impression, headphones, shades, chip tricks, the lot.

The Board comes  x.

Mr X bets about half the pot.

Phil Hellmuth min-raises.

Mr X snap folds - & shows the
