1b at 1pm tomorrow, goodnight

A very insistent M Ghollamrezapour wanted his picture taken, but only with the light behind him

If he finals, he will be known simply as Gholla

This man is known as Mr G in Broadway and fortunately he got busted when raising all in with air against Badly drawn boy.

He tried to shoot an angle on me yesterday when I bet on the river with middle pair and he 3 bet me. He looks over to me and without me asking he softly tells me that hes got a pair of aces as if hes trying to protect me as old mates might do. Knowing how he operates I call him and he mucks.

Is it just me or is that out of order??
