so was it some wise guy that its the journey that matters not winning or losing , probley some thing in greek thilosophy covers it as well and zen and buddism and uncle tom cobley and all .
there that gets all the negitive shite out of the way and on to the story....didnt win or even come close.

but i real had a good time probley being surrounded by like minded people is part of it, so im out of the bed and breakfast had a good feed and left two quid for the waitresses ...bribe for the karma geanie ....and up to the beeston shop area pass the bet fred,william hill,and cash converters , and its sunday and most of the shops are closed up i wander up the strip...not to be confused with the vegas strip... and there he is the big issue sales guy complete with a santa hat ,no karma jam for him....pass a few coffee bars that are shareing two and a half customers between them and there it is a charity shop that is open ,some kind soul working on friday just so i can wonder in and act like rockafella while i chill and plan my shortcoffien asault on dtd with all the cunning of a two tailed fox. unfortantley the british heart foundation charity shop looks like it only has stuff that is purposeley bought in for them to sell on ,wont be appearing on antiques road show with this lot ,so its out the door and back down the street as i aproach the concrete statue of the bee keeper i see another charity shop has opened its doors so in i go wander look wander look and there we go bingo...a set of 6 chunky felt tip pens various colours ideal for any budding banksky with a fetish about cartoonism when they win at luton g or even make the final.also a new phone cover which a snip snip from the shop girls cissors to get rid of the silly girlie handle attachment and hey presto i have a new phone cover for 99 p
out of the door pass mr big issue and into the pound shop got tooth paste i forgot to pack and im heading back to the b and b to get my car as i walk along there is a a row of stainless steel seats near to a bus stop and placed on one of them is a kebad in a polastirene box like the last meal on the marie celest so some party reveler out on the town has looked around and with all the options open to them they have decided that the best way to round of there kardashian dash on saturday night is to have a kebab and retire to the pavilion alla bus stop to gorge there appertite ,mabe it was the sincerlating company or the less that medatrainine climate but something made them decide to leave the kebab on its bed of salad looking now at any rate like the sliced of dead skin from a person with athleats foot just left there all alone....note they didnt kick it along the pavement just left it there ...another good omen that is all well in the cosmos and there is no reason that the game at the dtd wont be in the same vein.....i suppose really if you look hard enouth you can watch two rain drops running down a window paine and find a reason that its a omen with good intent.
and into the car and into dtd nearly 1.4 million chips ..... im out in position 155 total prize 300 which i estimate makes me 40 quid up on the week end after all the Xs  the hand i whent out on was quiete funny , im the big blind for 50k with only 340k total left after being bitch slapped with no hands other than 39 off and j4 off a kid to my left who has been moving like he has  a irratabul anus syndrome makes it 125k  seat one looks pained and eventualey calls back to me i look down at a very respectable aj off all in kid calls so dose troubled seat one great the pot has nearly a million in it flop 46j rainbow ...the kid goese all for his two million in seat one not happy passes .....i say to the kid you got trip fours , as the hand before he had trip threes , no i just wanted to give you a chance to win he replies and turns over kq off ...im winning ...wow all that grinding and scrimping and making do while my blinds are robbed has paid of i can rebuild with this million and get into the game ......turn queen .....river crap......mumbled hard luck from a few guys and im off out of dtd.
but i enjoyed it all would have enjoyed it more if i final tabled but iwas there ...i came i saw i played i spread a little happiness ....
it wasnt this time but it will be its up to me how soon.

imagine you are a astranault all alone on a mission in far space beyond the return point with hundreds of years of supplies and the ship has malfuntioned and is heading of to deep uncharted space .....would you play poker on line and if you did would you draw the winnings down or leave it in the account....

Train question. (Wasn't sure where to put this so I thought I'd try china's diary)

How do train drivers know how fast to go so that they arrive exactly on time?

Richard, Dick, or even Dickie
If I cast my mind back to when I first noticed Dick it was at the time of the ten pound seven card stud competitions at the old Luton G, I remember thinking 'hmmmmmm, that fellas got through to the final again or won or shared it' and then over the years got to talk to him, know him a little bit and respect him not only for his poker ability but also for what a genuinly nice guy he was.

Stories about him that I can recall personally such as him totally frowing a wobbly at the old club because Carmel who would have been just of the dealing staff then had been chosen to deal the final table of the competition that he was on and he wold let it be know that no way should she be dealing, shes a block on him, she always busts him out of the competition, let anyone but Carmel deal. Annother time we all went to Paris to visit the Aviation Casino for a whole series of poker competitions. Somehow or other we ended up in my hotel room playing cards and despite me saying don't take anyting out of the drinks bar at the end of the game someone had had it away with a few bottels which then got added to my room bill i found out it was a mate of dicks but he had blown his money by then so tuff on me.

Back in England another time Dick went really deep in the £500 GUKPT event maybe last three of four tables and then this young guy from London starts hitting form and outdrawing people in the most brutal manor, problem is he realizes it so Dick has raised with his king queen suited and the lad who has a mountain of chips goes all in. Everyone passes around to Dick who thinks for a few seconds, and remembering the absolute garbage this lad has been going on goes all in for is competition life...... The kid has king 2 off suit and we are all watching hoping our local guy wins but of course the river is a deuce and Dick is out and he is absolutley spitting feathers.

The old club or the new club, everyone has the most respect for Dick. I attended his funeral at a very old style little church with representatives from the Luton G and Gentings there. I found myself with American Denis and little Irish Chris who was a big cash player back in the day (he had heard up at the Vic that Dick was getting burried and out of respect came down).  So the three of us are at the grave side after all the family have gone and I said to the guys I wanted to say a few words which they agreed to.
so overall what can i say about dick , in life you meet some realy nice people and some total false tossers.  dick falls into the realy nice number and i was proud to consider him a friend and i hope he new it.

Whent to the xmas cracker game at the vic ,qualified on first attempt at luton with low chips only 41k to take there 100k or there abouts would have been a good amount as the antes started at 1500  3000 with a running 300 , but hey im getting ahead of my self ,decided to get the train up so i park in a road near st albans station that has no restrictions and trot over the bridge to let the train take the strain...as i go into the station building i see a gruby guy drawing on a fag strideing towards the taxi rank with a petite thia looking girl following she is done up as if going into luton g to meet all her girlfriends with very striking red lipstick ,i decide he must be pimping her out in some manner ...right or wrong  its not my business but i am sad if its true as im of to a jolly in london and some unfortunate girl is stuck with mr gruby.  in the ticket area i quea and get ticket and straight onto train 5 mins later direct to st pancrest and a short walk pass the two old wooden pianos in the concourse ..no one playing them at this time ..and im on to the underground and out by the bronze of the window cleaner at edgeware road short walk thru the streets and into the vic a luton regular big dave shares the lift and we chat about the forthcoming event .....

like horses in there stalls before the start of a race we prance about a bit ,theres willie the china man with bushy and twig talking there talk which you dont have to earwig on you will hear of bad beats and folly of others and totally justified reasons for all actions , theres alan some call lucky , the other dave i chat to hes on 60k to start with he says ,norman the taxi driver   probley with a mint condition taxi to sell based on the amount of time he is in the vic ,     theres a line of luton dealers trot pass sent to assist there big city cousins timi  olivia  timi the guy i say hi and they smile and say hi back and thats it we are near starting and seated .....aaaahhhh what better way to celabrate the xmas spirit and some lucky fish will leave with 16k odd for first .....unlike the adds for the lottery which say please dont let it be   noel edmunds or blunt the singer or our own favourite as he actualy has played poker vinnie jones.....please let it be me .....even if its a chop with the last 5 having 8k each ...see im reasonable ....let it be me .

Not really a poster and can't believe my old log in details still work...

Anyway Tom, really enjoy the diary and having heard that Dick had died, I guess it was because of my affection for the old Luton G and the people that played there.
You recalling the old £10 rebuys really took me back with many fond memories and thoughts about how excited and nervous I was when I played each week. I would literally shake when having to take my turn to self deal.

Everyone was like a pro player to me then and some have turned in to real stars in one way or another.
The games were ran with military precision and the dealers were great. I remember Dina, Carmel, Mina and Helen.

What really struck me though was how friendly the people were and I remember how cool me and my brother felt when Allan Geddes and Jim McShane invited us for a Chinese meal one week with a few other players. We really felt like one of the gang.

The competitions were fiercely contended but in true Luton style, there was always a thought for the bubble and in any sats, everyone would chip in for the extra seat.
Players I remember and lots still play, were Tom, Allan Geddes, Jim McShane, JP Kelly (practicing for the big time), Cockney Dave, River Dave, Edna, Andy Lieu and of course Dick.

I was lucky enough to talk to Dick at the 'new' Luton G just before he died, and we spoke of those times. My memory of him was of how he would chuck a chip in pre flop. on the flop, on the turn and the river, proclaiming 'a thousand' each time.
I always chuckled to myself as he somehow managed to win almost every hand using this technique and was mostly glad I wasn't in the hand against him.

Anyway, at the new Luton a few years ago, I was at a table with Dick and I guess either Celtic Vinnie or Jim McShane must have been there, as talk and piss take started about who the best Scottish player at the table was......
In an instant, Dicks eyes lit up, and he started reciting An Address To a Haggis by Rabbie Burns. It was fantastic and my memory is that it went on for some time as Dick could see how impressed we all were.

A great memory for me of a great guy and an all round great bunch that Luton always seems to attract.

All the best

Jamie.
