Ending seems brutal

Dudley first celebrated before he walked back to the table and then shook his head. Both bumped fists and Dudley gathered his belongings while both awaited the winner's interview with Jeff Platt.

Been there many times online, but those times I have celebrated on my own don't seem so bad anymore.

I have even less idea than you doobs tbh.   I have no involvement at all in poker now outside of playing Midlands based cash games.   I don't follow the live mtt scene at all or social media of what any of the class of 2008 internet kids are doing.  Great to see him doing well.   never won a big one like most of that crew did back in the day.

Unsighted live results wise for 5 years effectively.

Think he crushed in EPT 2ks for a time and got signed by Ivey.  Can't remember seeing him on Stars recently, and Hendon Mob is very quiet, hence my question.  It was a weird one he disappeared, as seemed quite successful at the time.

Obviously rooting for him.

Andy Taylor - wiisssppppaa online is 8th in chips

Agree it would be smashing to see John win it, but let's not forget GB has 3 players in the Top 10.

In addition to John (10th with 22,450,000), we have...

Phillipe Souki (3rd, 32,475,000), who I understand is a very popular regular at The Vic.

Andy Taylor (8th, 23,900,000) who amongst other successes, won the SPT Grand Final in Manchester in 2019.


Any of those three would do nicely for me, & might just give domestic poker a shot in the arm.

Domestic poker is dead. The Government has made it that way with the requirements for live casinos to KYC. Now most of the old regs aren't willing to prove, or can't due to dubious legality, where they source their funds from so they're not playing in casinos. They're playing cash in private games. I knew this was going to happen when it was brought in.

Private games will be dead soon also I reckon. The fish won't last forever, and if you look at new players, they're learning online and play quite nitty, which private game players hate, so there's no influx. It's booming now but give it a couple of years and they'll die as well.

I think cash is probably suffering, but the recent GUKPT events have been amongst the biggest ever. 

I know it doesn't apply in the USA, but fields at the WSOP were amongst the biggest ever in pretty much every event I looked at. 

All very surprising given the cost of living crisis and the chances of picking up Covid.  I came back and am not sure I'd go again unless I had a recent booster/dose of covid.  Will possibly change my mind when it comes round again.  And if Suella gets in, maybe I'll just stay there!

Cash is really suffering. Tournaments bar big events also seem to not be doing well, especially in the Midlands. 3 tournaments at Birmingham per week. 2 at Coventry. Walsall the outlier but that is slightly to be expected given it's history and reputation. Bury New Road also doing horrendously, they ran a £30 self deal last Thursday and got 1 table ffs.
