    The first part of that Blog refers to poker's "magic moments" - flopping a set, that sort of thing, & that lovely feeling it gives us.

    What are your favourite "magic moments" in poker?

    And the best poker magic moment you ever had?

    In the comments section, Stokey asked if I was correct to list Isle of Man as a country.

    Very good point, and he may be correct.

    Strictly speaking, it is a self governing Briitish Crown dependency. In checking this, I learn that the Head of State is called "Lord of Mann", and that position is currently held by.......Her Majesty the Queen.

    Isn't that interesting?

    I love stufc like this

    Do you know the head of state is allowed to be Roman Catholic. Astonishing in these times of PC.

    I think Jersey and Guerspnsey are countries, in that they are not part of the United Kingdom.

    Not so much IoW, which is not even a county, it is part of Hampshire.

    I wonder what happened to that chap who used to get really exercised when non poker topics were posted on this board?

    He used to get really cross, double and triple salkos galore.

    In fact, he never posted about anything else, ever. Each post would be littered with profanities, usually with the help of asterisks and suchlike. He did get extremely cross about it.

    Jersey is not part of the United Kingdom, but the UK are responsible for its defence.

    Guernsey is similar, but not identical, in these respects.

    And we're back on track....
    Gonna sound cheesy.. BUT when I first started playing on Skypoker there was a really small stakes nightly poker tourny which I played to get the "hang of things" poker-wise.  I have a real love affair (think Rosemary) for this tourney and altho I can/do play much higher stakes now I play this tourney when I can & get a "magic moment" when it loads and I get to see who I'm playing against.  As I did in the "old" days I always browse to see where folks are from.....sad, I know.... 
    Also, being to the left of TK in a PLO8 is magic.

    Best magic moment --- 2nd in the superroller for £3k.  Ran like Insane Usain....

    Edit.. Had another magic moment in the "mini" tonite....

    One off my favourite things is during a showdown shouting for a card when you are miles behind and it miracously appears on the river
    worst watching your opponents cards when your far in front and shouting not to see his card and it appears life's funny that way ;.)

    I don't get this moment too often as I don't play cash much and it involves winning, but it happened last night and reminded me of this thread...

    At the end of a cash session, when you have clicked sit out next BB and that last hand is dealt and you have a monster. You raise and get action such that it is all in pre and you win a big pot.

    They normally go the other way. You're satisfied with your session and have made a few bob. You say to yourself that you'll just play until the blinds come round. You get aces, you lose, why didn't I just stand?

    I know, which is what makes it all the more magic when it goes well. My hand was PLO cash, posted in my diary, not even much of a sweat.

    It makes up those times a sessions results are crushed by the last hand. Whether it be coolered, outdrawn, or usually in my case overplaying a marginal OOP just because it is your last hand.

    My first magic moment has been well documented ( Playing Wsop main event for 0 outlay )
    My second was winning my fav tourney on sky - the £2,Deepstack out of the free £10 we get on joining, great feeling then and now.

    Plo8 cash doesnt run very often and with split pots and rake it's hard to beat. I stick to dyms and the occasional mtt.

    Last night was PLO. 4 cards but standard holdem hands. Bit more traffic on those.

    Probably a wise move. We sometimes have a social game on the november nine table. The craic is good but usually not great for the bankroll.
