    This is exactly the sort of photo that would be very acceptable;

    Whereas, photos like this might not get past our friends in Compliance, & so would not qualify to go into the draw......

    Hi Tikay,
    Seeing as you used my photo as an example does that mean I am entered in the draw? The other one should count as a second entry ...it cost $40 !

    Not sure if I qualify but see my summary on Vegas Thank You thread - happy for you to use the Royal Flush pic or indeed the Biscuit one in Scene and Heard thread 😂

    @bearace and @AB0151

    You both "qualify", but we need a short sentence from you both.

    Do that, & you are both in.

    The photo of @bearace at Grand Canyon is perfect.

    As for @AB0151 that photo you mention would be just fine. I'll try & find it & post it here to assist.

    We do need a sentence from both of you though, please.

    For some variety I will post a different photo with a comment. This is me flying the helicopter in the Grand Canyon ...with some assistance from my glamorous co-pilot on the left!

    Posting for the +1 of @Alvez11 who is known as little Dave. No one managed to get a picture of little Dave so have included a lovely one of Alvez who seems to need a belt.

    For the last few years whenever Alvez has been in Vegas we know that it wont be long before little Dave will be making an appearance. We always get told that little Dave wont appear this year but we know it is only a matter of time before we see that little guy. Little Dave has somewhat of a cult following amongst the team for his surprise appearances and his love of action. He may not have the best record but no one can deny his commitment to the game and his hope of finding himself in a good spot to go all in. We know that when the beers are flowing there is a good chance that little Dave will appear and it wont be long before he is trying to get all in.

    On behalf of the team, Vegas wouldn't be the same without an appearance of little Dave.

    Thank you to Tikay and Sky for kindly extending invitation to the Golf night - I'm having an awesome trip thus far and meeting many of the Sky qualifiers (and their plus 1s) and having a few beers and a wind down on a day off grind was a major factor. It's cool that golf performance, like darts and pool (and poker?) improved with 🍺🍺s. A special shout out to Alan Shearer and his Mrs, Irish Rose and her son (I know that's what I was thinking - she looks too young to have a grown up son!) and the City and Palace fans who took me to that classy bar 😉. Oh and yes thanks Rosie for the tip re using wifi on aeroplane mode (who knew - certainly not me 🙈) - you've saved me from giving a further 60 quid to Vodafone which I will now be able to donate on sky poker upon my return 😉.

    Aside from doing ok poker wise I've had a blast meeting some great characters at tables or watching World Cup - all perhaps with exception of Joe McKeehan who, politely put, is no Negrano ambasssdor type...

    The latest on "breakfast biscuit" watch btw is today I politely asked if I could change my "biscuit" for some toast - they did and although they called it something equally funny like wheat bread it was toast and was very welcome. I was sooo hoping someone would stop by and ask where my "biscuit" was so I could reply..."scone"!😂. I'm here all week - hopefully longer 🤞

    I was one of the lucky ones to attend the SPT in Las Vegas this year - and what a blast it was too!! I met some of the nicest people on this trip and put faces to many names I've played against online - including Bearace, Omm, Jubb, ABO151, --Assassin, Voltage, jwrighty, Sparkykeef and many others. SPTs are always special - and usually very social - this Vegas one was more than most! Would love to send my huge thanks to Sky for running the promo - even if the jetlag was murder!! Mr Junior Irish also had a great time and special thanks to the players and their plus ones for looking after him so well.

    I didn't take a lot of photos on this trip - but this particular one I just had to take in Planet Hollywood. We all know the young master Bates is a force to be reckoned with on Sky poker but not a lot of people know that he also crushes the live game aswell......... This was the tourney in Planet Hollywood that I was lucky enough to watch him win - he bossed it from the moment he sat in the lucky seat......... - pure masterclass it was to watch.

    What do you do when you get knocked out of a poker tournament? Feel depressed? Talk bad beats? Nope, this is Vegas baby! Got knocked out of the SPT so booked a late night helicopter flight over the strip.

    Met some good people on this trip who made us both feel very welcome. Looking forward to seeing them again on future tour legs.

    Some good memories here. Wish I'd taken one of my money so I could remember what it looked like.

    The view from my room on the 42 floor in The Palazzo overlooking it's sister hotel The Venetian - just the 7,000 rooms between them!

    This an excellent recording of the free show that happens on the hour every night in front of The Mirage hotel close to The Palazzo.
