Cash 300 with LML Tikay & AJS4385!!!
Evening all!!
Tonight it is the CASH 300 live show.. So more opportunities for those voyeurs amongst you to watch yourselves getting down and dirty on the lower levels and building ever closer to the climactic 1.50/3 Cash 300 tables!!
I'll be joined by opposing ends of the Poker age spectrum.. Cranky but cuddly codger (Tikay) and young, virile (I'm assuming here) TSP member Master Aidan Sanderson.. AKA AJS4385
Any questions you have for Aidan can be posted on this thread and of course any hand IDs from interesting hands on the tables we will be showing throughout the show!
It's going to be a horn-tooting, rail-grinding, thigh slapping STONKER of a show!!
And if that's not enough to whet your appetite then how about a free tourny entry for....
The biggest whopper (Not the edible variety) you've ever told to get out of work... And why!!
As an example we'll use my flatmate Natalie.. Who told her work that she'd had a Diabetic Hypo and been taken into the hospital.. so she could get a few days off to have give her hair a Brazilian Keratin treatment..
She said she needed the extra three days off as she wouldn't be able to wash her hair for 3 days after... She works in an office...
She's VERY particular about her hair.. and she IS actually a diabetic.. But HONESTLY!!!
Obviously I can't use myself as an example as I would never do such a thing
Orford doesn't need an excuse as he quite legitimately loses his car every other day.. and Tikay.. as we know.. NEVER has a day off.. Even his 'Days off' he comes in and dusts off his desktop.. so to speak.
GOOD LUCK ALL..

In Response to Cash 300 with LML Tikay & AJS4385!!!:
As for the biggest whoppers to get out of work, I've never done it myself tbh, a mate has though.
He told work he had the flu so he could have a few days off. This was due to it being his birthday and he was off to a popular theme park for the day. Anyway, one of the bosses saw the message his mum had placed in the local paper wishing him a happy birthday.
Of course they put two and two together and quizzed him on his return to work, he managed to get away with it though.
Have a great show as always peeps.
Best sickie I ever tried to throw was when I was pipe fitting for a firm in Lpool way back in the day when I was still young. I'd been out the night b4, and wasn't feeling the best, so rang in saying I'd slipped in the kitchen while getting ready for work and had sprained my ankle.
Great thinks I a few days off and had started planning wot to do with my time "go out and do a bit of fishing" I decided. So later that day off I went. Got to the lake found my perfect swim, the strap on my tackle box snapped I promptly fell and as I did so snapped my ankle and ended up in hospital for just under a week, had an op to pin it and ended up off work for 10 weeks in which time I did absolutely nothing.
Serves me right I suppose.
GL to all on the tables tonight, looking forward to Monday again Tikay
This is a true story although it did not happen to me.a guy in Glasgow who worked in a call-centre phoned in sick as he wanted to go and watch Celtic play a Champions League game over in Spain.
He went to the game which of course was live on tv,Celtic scored and he was seen by his boss celebrating behind the goals with the rest of the Celtic fans.He was front page news in Scotland's best selling newspaper as he sold his story to them after his boss sacked him.Be careful out there when you phone a sickie.
Cmon the Hoops tomorrow.
Any chance we can find out what levels are being shown tonight on mastercash? Looking forward to the show as always!!
I,ve got a hand from the micros last night I thought was quite interesting - never seen so many cards of one suit on the table Hand History #343286503
I had to take a bit of time off in my previous job - i don,t think they beleived me at frst but said I had to go and visit my girlfriend in prison (ex now) - unfortunately it wasn,t a whopper - something she had done before i met her
just playing my 1st Open for a few months after sateliting in - some big names in there

Also couple of questions....
1) Did AJS ever have any problems mentally moving through the levels? Has he got any advice for bankroll nits who are well over-rolled and want to move up, but have something holding them back?
2) Is he a cricket fan? and what does he think to Englands chances in the world cup? (tk can answer this 1 too as I know he will be watching every game)
3) How old was he when he first went off the top diving board at the metradome?
gl Aiden looking forward to your frank analysis
Enjoy the show!!
I took the ultimate sicky in 1998..
I'd been at my new job for a week, the day before my sicky I'd just picked up my brand new company car...
After watching a coach load of Scottish people on morning tv setting off for the World Cup in France I decided to do the same!!!
I had Eurostar tickets from a cancelled Oasis gig in France. Within an hour, I'd managed to get the tickets re-issued..had called in work with measels (HMMMM RIGHT) packed a quilt, stole my then scottish boyfriend and took off to Paris for a week. We slept in the carpark opposite Stat De France. and even managed to get tickets to the opening match Scotland v Brasil..to hear a stadia full of Scots singing 'Scotland scored a goal' was a sight and sound to behold...
I had to avoid all the tv camera's al week obv. and when i got back to work I told my boss i'd dropped my company mobile down the loo which is why I wasn't contactable!!!
Never got found out either ;oD

Can I take the moral high ground and remind all that honesty is the best policy…..
I once got inebriated at a mate’s house party and apparently called in sick the next morning (although I don’t remember doing so). Anyhow a few days later on my next shift my boss approached me when I got into work and asked to see me at the end of play.
I spent all day trying to construct the best excuse I could come up with, bouncing ideas off the lads to make sure I wasn’t doubling up on an excuse they had used previously.
The end of the day arrives and shaking like a leaf I make my way to my gaffers office, where to my surprise, before I can open my mouth he begins to thank me for my honesty and tell me I’m keeping my job solely because of that fact. I thank him, with a rather perplexed look on my face, and leg it out of there as fast as I can, feeling pretty relieved.
Apparently, in my still drunk state, when I’d rung in sick I had confessed everything to my boss, including rather too much detail about the night itself.
Just goes to show doesn’t it J
have a good one tonight all
how old were you when you started playing online properly and how long did it take until you realised that you could definitely make a living out of poker?
Tikay, DTD = Deepie Take on Tikay Deepie . Simples

Only excuse i've used to not go into work is that i was ill when really i was too hungover to go in haha
Just back from a mate's birthday in Windsor Castle. It may be the drink talking but the two train stations there were very cute. Tikay, please discuss.
LM/AJS, you're welcome.
