S-U & D - we are up & running.
Don't recognize anyone on Table Wayne - Table 3, Seat 2 - though it does include a geezer with a 9 letter name which includes 4 "a"'s. So we know he's not Arry Aardvaak.
Nah. His Mum would not let him come out to play. She said it's too cold.
91 runners at the moment, & I think there were 80-odd yesterday. So, give or take a few bags, that's £400k in the Prize Pool so far, with plenty of alternates expected to boost that.
Over 100 runners (today) now, & the Prize Pool is showing as £472,500, with £139k+ to the winner. MBN.
Starting stack = 25,000, & Clock = 1 hour.
Glad I'm working today, or I may have been seriously tempted to play this. I've run well this year, & the proceeds are burning a hole in my lucy.
Blandy & Mother are still trying to sort out the Video Upload procedure, there seems to be a few issues. We will overcome. Blandy rung Mother on her day off - he'll learn, poor fella, she's giving his ears a right chewing.
Blinds start at 25-50, so that's 500 x BB. Oooooohhhh.
poker would be so much better live if they banned poker talk in the card room.
Sorry about the delay with the Videos, it's a bit of a struggle to get them uploaded at the mo.
Talk amongst yourselves.
Info incoming from Wayne........
He has played a hand!
A-K, raised up, 1 caller, 8-8-9 floopen, he fires out, next case.
However........
How about THIS for plasy in a £2,500 Tourney.
Wayne says one geezer on his Table has limped into EVERY hand so far.
Limpo Limps, there's a Raise to 175, Limpo calls.
Flop 4-5-8.
Raiser bets, Limpo calls.
Turn, Q.
Rinse, repeat.
Turn, 2. Now it all goes off, with incremental Raises back & forth until 30,000 chips are in the Middle, at which stage Limpo just calls the last bet.
Bet you can guess BOTH hands!
OK, a clue. Limpo had A-3 (!!!), & has just spewed off 60% of his stack.
Dave is having a mare with the Video Upload, hence my waffley stuff. The show must go on. He'll sort it, I'm sure, but he's doing a lot of huffing & puffing & sighing. Where's Mother when you need her?
107 Reg'd now, the Prize Pool just shy of half a mill.
Go on you know you want to!
I'll answer the various questions shortly.
First, Table Trouble has been formed, with Neil Channing sat to the immediate right of Keith "The Camel" Hawkins. What those two don't know about poker & betting ain't worth knowing.
Keith starting off playing at Reading, decades ago, with the likes of Simon Trumper & Bob Coombes. He's an avid QPR fan, & I think his 'Stars name, where he grinds out $1,000 SNG these days, is "Loftus Road" or somesuch.
Keith, who is Dylanesque in build, with extensions, married Kath, a farmers daughter a few years back, they now have a son called Jake, (just started school) & they live somewhere dreadful up North, North Yorkshire or Co Durham as I recall.
Keith used to pen THE second greatest poker blog on the 'net, "The Camel Ruminates" - clever title eh? - but he's given it up now, sadly.
The best poker blog ever ever ever used to be penned by Paul "Dotcom" Philips, who gifted me a lovely book, "Fermats Last Theorem" in return for a small favour, & we became good pals. (Terrific book for maths geeks, by the way). Paul has a daughter called Ivey now, & another sprog, the make of which I can't recall. He's retired from Poker now (he won a WPT), & writes & develops software, which is where he made his fortune. These days he's an American League Scrabble player, believe it or not. Scrabble!
For 2 House Points, name Paul Phillips (now defunct) Blog.
Maxally gets the House Points!
He's up to -37 now.
I'm off to take some pictures, then I'll be back with some words. Let's hope the interwebs doesn't want to chew them up too.
Whoops, well as Blandy says, the Wifi has gone mammaries up, so he's gone to take some piccies, & I'll have to bore you to sleep with poker tales & anecdotes.
Or you could go play the £100 Guaranteed Bounty Hunter (£5.75), which has 19 runners already, & kicks off at 3.30pm, on SkyPoker.com, & looks likely to smash it's Guarantee. See, free enlightenment, too.
Note to self. Watch what I say, Mother may be watching.
