Good to see you're still about mate. Throwing in the big boy games in Barca because why not eh?

Just to add to Das's question -

Favourite Luton Player: John The Pen.

I used to really enjoy playing the Saturday 2pm £30er where he would kick off at someone to the point the floor had to come and have a word with him, bust after first break and have to sit in the corner all night while his daughter did her ladybollocks on the fruities. No idea if he's still with us because he always sounded like he was a stiff cough from snuffing it, but I always thought he was alright for a miserable old bugger.

Favourite Luton Moment:

There was some fella throwing money over the roulette on a table he had to himself. Word was he had shat off the better part of £20,000 before giving up. Probably hard to get out of at that point when it was £100 max on a number. The pit boss told him he could cool off in the restaurant and they'd bring him some food. 15 minutes later he is screaming bloody murder because they bought him a steak and chips, and he was a vegan. What a needle.

If you see Panos, tell him Harry says hello and let him know I'm in Liverpool now.

I got your PM, I'll give you a shout pal. I've got some wacky stories to tell you.


Nice to hear from you Bud. It's been way too long. I look forward to hearing your stories, I've got a few of my own. If there are any GPS stocks around Liverpool I will be sure to give you a shout if I'm in the area. Make sure you text me... I know what you are like!

I loved John the Pen, I remember we made a personal deal when we both made the final table. He had a lot going on, I knew him from outside of poker due to his nephew and I used to play YU-GI-OH as kids.

Das- If you are about, Fancy giving me a lift to Luton now I live in MK? No shoving 100BB in the first level though pre flop, I wouldn't want you hanging around for me after or getting a taxi back. Cheesy

If I was around then I wouldn't mind playing taxi for you. Problem is I've recently been made redundant and have taken a part time bar job to keep some money coming in. Where I've been on night shift for 3 years solid I've told them to keep putting me on the close. Problem is after a week and a half they've realised I'm better than most the current staff so put me on almost every day! The days I'm  not working I have pre planned stuff that I do every week.

Next time I'm free and can play a night of poker I'll deffo drop you a pm and can sort from there.

What is the mk casino like? (Not just for poker, just in general as well) been meaning to go up there ever since it opened!

Hey Das

I'll drop you a PM with my number.

MK Casino- Very nice poker room, tables and chairs. Dealers not the best. Tournaments are rubbish, Cash full of bad Regs so would be profitable. A couple of good players there to be fair. but u would normally find 4 marks on the cash table.

Its pretty wasted if you ask me. Could be so much more better. Needs to start by offering better tournaments.

SPT Brighton Day 1A

Arrived an hour before kick off. Signed up to the casino for the free bets and drInks and 10% off. Was really impressed with the space of he card room and the high ceiling. Made me feel like it was 14 years ago and I was playing in a YUGIOH regional championship.

SPT USP is the friendliest poker tour in the UK and based on my table and the atmosphere before and during the break I can 100% agree with this. Dealers are excellent also.

First 3 levels was steady. Climbing from 25k up to 30k. Very swingy though. Won a decent pot, lost a decent pot rinse and repeat. Table started off as a good one. Changed at the start of level 3 with a few good players joining the action. Folded the second nuts twice on the river and was shown the nuts 🥜. Lost 11k so down to 19k. 

Blinds 150/300. Open with AhJS and bet 3 bet to 2k from the button. I picked up a solid live tell that he was weak and made the call. (Should have 4 bet.. big mistake on my part)  flop Q high all hearts. We check and he fires a C bet of 2.5k immediately. I call. Turn is an off suit 5. I decided to lead here 60% of pot to 5.5k with the veiw of shoving river regardless of what comes as I block the nuts and have all the strong ha dis in my range. He dwells and then calls. Blank on the river. I pause for a few seconds before announcing all in. He goes into the tank for 5 mins and is thinking it through outloud. Hmm I think you are bluffing but you could be bluffing with the best hand. 5 mins later he makes the call and shows 54 offsuit to take it down.

Off to the bars in Brighton we go. Will play again today as the 50k guarantee is nearly hit after one day. I can see this getting 80-90k which is awesome value for a 220 I think.

Not to self. Don’t bluff random regs who you don’t know. Just value bet for max value.
