I don't know what effect sabultamol has but does that basically mean if you have asthma then you can't compete in any sport at the top level or is it just the doping agency for athletics that would charge you ? You don't think that's a bit harsh ?

There is evidence that it can help to dramatically improve athletic performance as well as helping to contribute to anabolism.

So, effectively, yes it means you can't compete at the very top level continuously.

No I don't think that's harsh at all. I can't become a fighter pilot because I wear glasses (obv various other reasons as well) you can't become a top athlete because of your asthma. It's the way of the world.


My asthma was the only thing keeping from being a top footballer 

I wasn't looking at it from a personal point of view as far as how harsh it was, but I guess if it's shown to improve performance then it's not acceptable. One thing that struck me was how desperate I though she was to portray the idea that if she didn't use the inhaler she would've died. I'm no expert on asthma attacks or how severe they can be from personal experience she could go to the nearest hospital and be put on an oxygen mask rather than using an inhaler.

Surely they could just have oxygen nearby in case she needs it rather than taking the banned drug?

I know nothing about Asthma mind, just going on what you said above.

Yeah I was thinking that to, I very rarely have asthma attacks but once had a pretty bad one and the inhaler didn't seem to be helping so went to hospital and was put on oxygen for a bit and that did the trick.

Congratulations on your most excellent sheeping last night. Incidentally, if TRIP5's entry had arrived in time and not 11 hours late then you would have lost by 1 point to Kinboshi as they both had herpes.

Haha, incred. Thanks, it's something I'm extremely proud of and will be celebrating the achievement at the weekend.

The cash games have improved quite a bit the last few weeks, and without wanting to seem results orientated I'd say I have as well. Spent a lot of time "studying" by looking through hands and watching videos. Also been taking loads more notes during a session. I'm down less then 1 bi now without inc bonuses ( which equal 1.5 bi's) or rb. When I say I've improved I don't mean anything drastic as I already thought I was playing well enough to beat the games but just feel like I'm thinking through certain spots better and just making less mistakes.

It's me Dad's birthday on Sunday so won't be grinding over the weekend but then I'm going to stay off the drink for a few weeks and totally concentrate on grinding. I know I've said this before so I expect ppl to think that's bs but I'm pretty confident I'll stick to that. From next Monday I might go back to updating after every session so if I don't stick to what I'm saying you can all call me a clown, well a bigger clown.

Just out of interest anyone play on ipoker know the answer to this ?

If you where 4 tabling 100nl 6max 8 hours a day, roughly how much of a $5k reload bonus would you expect to recieve, you have 60 days from the point you deposit to accumulate points, you get $5 for every 250 points upto $1250 then $10 for every 500 points for the rest. Cheers.

I'm doing it now, playing 9-12 tables 50nl, played 25k hands so far, and cleared 10000 points roughly so i think its about 100 150 worth of the bonus, safe to say its pretty hard to accumulate esepcially as at some points there arent 12 tables running! sorry if that wasnt much help!

Happy on stars, problem is I'd lose SN if I went over there for 2 months as I need 100k vpps by end of Sept on Stars so it's probably not worthwhile for the hassle of moving as even if I managed to grind a decent amount I doubt I'd get more than 2-2.5k of the bonus.

Phil Laak "How much am I stuck, 106k, I don't even have that kind of money, how am I going to pay you, I declare bankruptcy, can I get some papers". So good.
