After the no-smile strategy doesn't work, Viv tries a new approach...

Dunno about Derek, but he's a flash guy, 'andy with the camera.

PASS!

The Gable End

Usually called "built like a brick sh1thouse" in these parts Tony .

Looking forward to your trip report, onward to Vegas!

[tikay]

Red, I was trying to find an alternative that led folks to think EXACTLY that!

I LOVE pics, I think they bring the Forum to life.

No more pictures of my multiple chins to be published without my right of veto first. They have their own agent and hes not amused 

[tikay]

Well we tried to find your best side, but.......

[The Wall]

Many congrats tikay If youre going to be in Walsall for the next 300 comp I will definitely come and say hi!

[tikay]

Ty Wall. Look forward to that.

You intending investing the prize money in sats when you get out there tikay? Also would be interested to hear your thoughts on daniel negreanus latest journal. Read it at fullcontactpoker.com. I have been a huge fan of his for a long time and cant help wondering what is going on in his head, think he should try being a standard touring pro for a month or 2 to get things into perspective IMO.

[tikay]

I can't help but think he's on something. And he's got his head up his you know what. A dodgy combination.

[ariston]

Ive read everything hes ever written and to be honest his game fell to peices when he discovered god and got back with Lori. He seems to have lost sight of the fact that this game has given him his entire life. When he first started playing he went to Vegas with his last $2000 and won his first bracelet, if he had lost his buyin hed have been flat broke and having to start again. Get rid of the bloody complications in your life and get back to what you used to live for man.

Who's the shy fella finishing second?

[Bongo]

DN's (nope, i'm not going to try to spell it either) blog where he randomly bumps into a man while waiting to get his haircut is one of the most bizarre things i have ever read. He ends up deciding the guy is a gay, drug addict, prostitute.

Dunno Ian!

There WAS a reason for my anonymity in this case.

We did a 3 way chop. Party of the deal was the insistence that Jackie was shown as the winner, & Viv insisted (correctly) on being listed as second. But then we were told we had to play it out, as the Casino only pay out the official structure, & it has to be played to the death.

So it was chuck all the chips in time. me & Viv first, My 9-2 was dominated by his Q-9. I hit the 2. My 3-4 was way behind his A-J. I hit trips. Viv "officially" finished third.

The disclaimer forms had me as 2nd, I wanted it changed to 3rd, to honour my agreement with Viv. It was not possible. So I did not consent. It would have been wrong to sign for 2nd when we we had agreed Viv was second.

Then we had to sort the money, which we had to do amongst ourselves. We all gave our tickets (mine was for 6,200, as officially 2nd) to Trev Reardon, who went & collected the fat end of 20k from the Cash Desk, then we shared the spoils as agreed.
