Am I reading too much into this?

[bobby1]

I have just watched this weeks Poker 425 and I have to say Tikay looked great. Now, in his comeback thread he mentions he has been looking after himself(he seems to have lost a lot of weight) and that he is feeling great, he had his hair looking fine and had a great suntan. I have never seen him look better, he looked like a new man. He also mentions in his comeback thread'penis extensions' now I might be putting two and two together but the new, fresh, invigorated Tikay seems to have a fresh spring in his step.

Could it be Tony?
Has the weight been removed and replaced elsewhere?

The last person I worked with that had two weeks off came back with a new pair of bazoomers...and a suntan...and a fresh hair cut....and she had shed about a stone....and she looked great.

Surely not?

[brad.strider]

err are you trying to say tikay has had breast implants?

[tikay]

Shut it Bradley!

And the "suntan" was the studio lighting!

But yes, the break has done me good, the juices are flowing (creative ones, that is), I feel better for losing over 2 stone, & Red-Dog is well jealous of my butt.

And why would I need a penis extension? They used to call me Donkey Kendall you know. Dunno if it's still in working order though.

[bobby1]

They used to call me donkey too...but it is because I am rubbish at football.

As they say in the navy, avast behind!!

[tikay]

How's YOUR diet - started the sanme time as mine - going then Red?

And I still got that packet of Custard Creams I had at Cardiiff.  Mind games rule. OK?

[RED-DOG]

And I still got that packet of Custard Creams I had at Cardiiff. 

Giz one

[tikay]

Nope. They are my anti-food trick. I keep them eith me 24.7 & DARE myself to eat them. And as long as I can resist, the diet is working.

I have to say, all these Diet Books you buy are just tosh. I thought of writing one, it would just say THIS.....

EAT LESS.

It's that simple.

But when we were in Vienna, I was stretched to the very limit one night in the cash game. Red-Dog is to my right, fast asleep as usual - played 2 hands in 7 hours which is busy by his standards - but someone ordered drinks & snacks all round, & Red had this GIANT slice of Chocolate Cake with Cream. I coulda mugged him for it. I told him how scrumptouis it looked, so he ordered another piece then said "out of kindness to you, I'm gonna eat this piece too".

Can't be doing with folks like that.

[RED-DOG]

And who came out of that cash game full of chocolate cake and Euros? Oh yes, I remember now, me!

[tikay]

Has to be said, that cash-game was SO much fun, & Red & I both did pretty good, all things considered.

The Boy Thewy was sat two to my left, Red to my right, Simon from Gutshot to his right, Bad Girl, b4Matt (Matt Tyler), & a few loud yanks.

Thewy was sitting fairly quietly, nursing a medium stash, maybe 600 or 700 Euros, I don't recall exactly. He was quite by his standards, maybe just playing a hand every orbit or so, obviously enjoying the craic immensely, but looking after his money.

Then Thewy does THE stupidest thing I've EVER seen at a poker table.

Brian The Rookie Wilson is sweating Thewy, & generally making so much noise we nearly all got thrown out, when Thewy suddenly says "play my next few hands Brian, I need a leak".

So Brian sits down at Thewy's seat. I know EXACTLY what that damn Fish is gonna do, & I find half a hand & limp. Action gets to Rookie, two to my left, ALL-IN he announces, I beat him into the Pot, & I bust him - or rather, I bust Thewy, who at this moment returns to find his carefully nursed stack of chips has transferred itself to my stack.

And to make it worse, Thewy has no cash on him - in fact he'd lent me all his Euros, so I then have to pay Thewy €500 (out of what I borrowed from him) so he can continue to sit at the table. And Brian toddles off for another beer.....

Damn that man.

The day before, Brian & Paul Parker had been sat behind me when I ran THE most outrageous bluff in the cash game, it was a re-re-re-steal & the Pot was about €2,000, & I got it through. (Only because my oppo, Dave Rudling I think? - was also stealing with nothing).

There had been a lot of dwelling in the hand, & I had flicked up my cards so that The Rookie could see what I had - bugger all, as it happened. Soon as Matey Boy passed, I went to muck - gotta protect that Rock Image eh? - but Brian takes the cards outa my hand, turns them over, announces at the very top of his voice - "how do you like THAT Mister?" then holds my arm up & puts his WSOP Bracelet on my wrist!

Some man.

[The Baron]

LMAO - I'm actually laughing out loud.

I try not to overuse this particular graphic, but this time it's well-earned...
