Nice new sig RED-DOG. Fav poem, "If" by Kipling (writes exceedingly good verse):

Here's a bit more, errr just slightly altered

If you can keep your head when all about you are losing theirs you can avoid tilt.
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting, the Aces will find you eventually.


If you can make one heap of all your winnings and risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,
And lose, and start again at your beginnings and never breathe a word about your loss;
Then you won't bore others by recounting bad beat stories

*****************

As an after thought it really is worth pasting in full and without amendment:-

If you can keep your head when all about you
   Are losing theirs and blaming it on you,
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,
   But make allowance for their doubting too;
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
   Or being lied about, don't deal in lies,
Or being hated, don't give way to hating,
   And yet don't look too good, nor talk too wise:

If you can dream-and not make dreams your master;
   If you can think-and not make thoughts your aim;
If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster
   And treat those two imposters just the same;
If you can bear to hear the truth you've spoken
   Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,
Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken,
   And stoop and build 'em up with worn-out tools:
   
If you can make one heap of all your winnings
   And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,
And lose, and start again at your beginnings
   And never breathe a word about your loss;
If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew
   To serve your turn long after they are gone,
And so hold on when there is nothing in you
   Except the Will which says to them: "Hold on!"

If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
   Or walk with Kings-nor lose the common touch,
If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you,
   If all men count with you, but none too much;
If you can fill the unforgiving minute
   With sixty seconds' worth of distance run,
Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,
   And-which is more-you'll be a Man, my son!

[Ironside]

nice recovery by nick gibson when i went to bed this morning i felt the worse for him after being cripped in the big pot


good luck to all the brits and europeans (that includes the irish) left

[colhandluke]

can you keep me updated as to how andy black and conor tait are doing and are there any other irish players still in. i can't see any

[Ironside]

i am sure tikay and jen will keep us upto date with all europeans (that includes the irish) when play resumes in 3 hours or so

it will be in a new thread though so watch out for it

[phinnies1]

yeah tell him the sod knocked me out in 4th with 5 2 off for a 300k pot

All respect Andy but I was sat next to Kunku when the hand was played out. When you say some1 beats you with 52 off for a 300k pot maybe you should mention he was on bb and that you flat called AJ from sb letting him flop a straight    )

[BlueWolf]

hey 5 2 is my favourite hand whats up with it lol?

I'm serious btw lol

[PunkFloyd]

What level are the blinds at?
Great coverage guys. Gogogogogogo Conor and Nick

[redsimon]

Any idea where Robert "Zorro" Binelli finished?

[AndyG]

Phinnies i wasnt saying anything bad m8 was my fault trying to trap from sb and got caught thats all
