"The Downswings of Property and Poker"

[Eso Kral]

^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Brings back memories
I will try and post the short version of my Wedding when we get to it in the diary but we had all the traditions and yes you break a plate and have to sweep it up to music whilst your wife holds the dustpan and your hoisted above heads on chairs wearing a farmers hat to symbolize bringing the food to the table and the wife wears a maids bonnet to show she will look after the home and kids and then you drink a shot of Slivovice (potent stuff)
Incred weddings i think we served 4 meals at ours which is pretty standard and you pre order the alcohol normally allowing 1 litre of wine per person and 1 litre spirits per person!!

Always heard good things with regards to Mickey and lending/borrowing- been told he is very fair, and obviously he is old school punter- used to be bookie at dogs when John Shipley was the biggest punter there apparently

I love Mickey to bits especially when he takes you to the side to tell you the stories about his Gold and Ruby ring that has been in and out of hock more times thanTikay says EPIC on Sky poker and shows you the newspaper article of when he was one of the first uk players to go to vegas!!  Legend

Lol, he must have carried that newspaper for nigh 20 years.

He sometimes brings in an A4 manilla envelope, with all sorts of newspsaper cuttings in it. And he always tells the story of "the worst outdraw ever ever ever" in the 1991 WSOP, when the case 6 or whatever did him.

If there was one thing I could change about MW, it's his addiction to telling bad-beat stories, but there are worse faults to have. I have to bite my tongue when the youngsters serial mock him on the Updates, I think that's rather sad.

GREAT Diary Mr Slovakian A-K, loving it, keep it coming.

this is my fav clip of mickey, see how the pot size changes.

Just read this from the start (been on holiday) and I know it's been said by others but what a great read.

It was me with the Degan Santa comment BTW - I still remember that tip too

Looking forward to reading more.

Do you know anything about the American property market? I viewed a couple of properties over there last week and I'm very tempted.

Gr8 find, Rick, that typifies Mickey when he has just taken a beat.

Loved the looks on the faces of Flushy & Graham Pound, *eyes glaze over, look for an escape*.......
