I agree it was a very fun event Smiley although the highlight of the weekend for me was playing a 1/1 PLO table with tikay, Simon Trumper, frankie, Richard Milner and a few others. Was a very fun table Smiley

    Advice from an elder. Finish the course. You have the rest of your life to play poker. With just a little effort  over a short period of time you will have a degree from a good University which may just be useful one day if you don't make it as the next Phil Ivey. You are already in a position that thousands of young people aspire to. To 'drop out' to 'pursue your dream' is poor judgement when that dream will still be there in 9 months,18 months,24 months etc.   ok Grasshopper?

Catch up,

I've jumped in the car and gone back to essex to spend a little time with family, which mostly involves playing the GPS Southend and going away to Italy for a week the very next day. My last few days around nottingham were fun. I've realised that I am in no way good enough to play chinese with the regs, probably something to do with the fact that they play every day and I've been playing like once a month :p My first session ended in breaking my stop loss for the day, which doesn't happen often, so bad times.

Spent the last night in dtd playing a really good fun 1/2 game, in which Mr. Flannagan spent the whole time in fantasy land completely in the zone and winning every pot he played, always fun to watch someone god mode a table as long as it doesn't smash you up too. For the most part I managed to stay out of the way and book a win, to my knowledge it was only me and him that did so on a table that was full for a fair amount of the night.

GPS Southend

So, on to business. This, for me, is the big one. Possibly the biggest and most prestigious poker event every held in Essex, in my old home club. Been waiting for this for some time. I am intending to take two bullets if necessary, and will be selling for both.

Since I haven't made 300 posts yet,

<MOD EDIT: Not got 300 posts, so don't try to subvert the forum rules.>

Took a trip down to Southend Southend yesterday, to try my hand once more at their elusive Tuesday freezout, which unfortunately remains the only Southend comp I can't seem to win money at. Decided to drown my sorrows at the cash table, and proceeded to have a lot of good hands and hence win the money. Poker's easy when you tend to have the best hand :p

Am considering writing a little piece on how few people seem to love the game anymore, might well put it up later today. Currently trying to work out the wording so I don't sound like a dick :p

Note on the GPS, I've now only got 5% left of both bullets, anyone interested please feel free to get in touch!
