GL mate.

With the colluding thing I would say being in the same house makes it less likely IMO.  The same IP means that you can't soft play, especially if it's a big major where the FT is usually checked by the fraud team, would just be so easy for them to notice.

If you are at opposite ends of the country but on Skype and teamviewer then how are they to know that you are mates.  Get AA v KK 3 handed then the KK guy can just yank his router out and claim a random disconnect.

Obv it's not something you wanna shout from the rooftops either but as you are the rest of the guys are so open about it then I think that's a good thing.  Poker has so many issues that are just hushed away and people are afraid to talk about to rock the boat and I have to say that the past couple of months on blonde has brought many of these things out in the open and it has made me think a lot more about many different situations.

But yeah GL in Tallin.  Hear it's an amazing city.  And I full expect Tom High to utilise his very specific set of skills to bringlots of pics OTT :p

Part three:

So I flew in and as soon as I stepped outside I was hit by the biting cold. I knew it was going to be cold - she'd warned me - between -5 and 0 most days. Yikes. Time to don the sick hat I bought last year Cheesy

It wasn't actually snowing at this point, she said it never really snows this time of year.

We were meeting at my hotel, once I got checked in and settled she came over and had brought sushi and a bottle of Japanese wine to share in the room - niiiiiice. We bonded over my inability to use chopsticks and just seemed to hit it off just as we had over facebook. This is her by the way:

After we ate she took me round the Old Town part of the city. It was insanely quiet - hardly a soul around - and this is the capital city! The buildings and streets were so beautiful, all very old - winding cobbled streets, russian architecture it was all really pretty. We walked and talked for hours it seemed, it was really great - felt like the perfect escape.

Nothing more happened that night, we said goodnight and I went to sleep.

I told her to just knock on my door whenever the next day because I knew my sleeping pattern would be upset from the time difference and trying to be on a muggle sleeping pattern. I barely slept during the night, but fell asleep at about 7am and at 12 she knocked on the door armed with coffee and  pain au chocolate - what a life!

We ate then we had made use of the hotels A* spa facilities and spent about 2 hours in various jacuzzi's and different sauna's. She goes to the gym a lot so had a pretty perfect body to browse nomm nomm Smiley That was a fun afternoon. I can't remember what else we did that day, but in the evening she told me she had an idea for an activity for us. She wanted to play poker! Hmm not really what I had in mind, but would be fun anyway.

She brought over chips and cards and wanted to play a sng, best of 3 and the winner gets a "wish" where the other person has to do something, and they HAVE to do it she insisted.

What's the strategy here?! I mean, usually I'd let her win of course, but I had a feeling that my wish would be far better for me than hers would be! So I kind of wanted to win, but also didn't want to be a dick and "wish" for anything too much, and I wouldn't really know where to draw the line lol. I decided it was best in the long run to let her win / I got totally pwned Cheesy.

Her wish was to see me playing the piano. The hotel had one downstairs, so off we went, and I did a good job of wooing her with some classic romantic songs. We got some cocktails at the bar and took them up to the room. We sat on the window sill overlooking the city, music playing, and by this time the snow was falling (run better!) and then she leant in for the kiss and it was honestly one of the most magical fairytale moments of my life!

The whole thing was like one big dream, even now looking back it seems so unlikely that all this happened.

She spent the night and we spent the whole of the next day together, doing some more sight-seeing, and then went for a lovely meal in a local estonian restaurant which was amazing. She stayed over again and took me to the airport this morning and we said goodbye and that was it. Now I'm back in Nottingham reflecting on it all, wondering whether I'll see her again (detour on the way back from Praugue in december maybe?!). Maybe...

Fabulous story. The only way you could have been more Colin Firth about this whole thing is if you had turned up in a flamboyantly-cuffed shirt and pantaloons.

Even I'm slightly swooning at the idea of someone flying across Europe at short notice just to see me. That is, in Brownie point terms, unlimited rebuys for sure.

Ruined it by saying nomm nomm, mind!

Amazing stuff, though. Play the Gent from here.

I assume you just missed out for editorial reasons the impressive display of knowledge you purveyed about Estonia's Sportsman of the Twentieth Century, Paul Keres?

I want to be Herbie and make some sort of Herbie comment but just can't bring myself to.  Really love the way you open your heart and put so much honesty into your thread.
