    Hi Steve.
    Hope you are as well as can be expected.
    It was good to share a table with you last night, sorry for the lack of verbal sparring , my reason ( excuse ) is I was playing umpteen, and different types, ( bh’s, freezouts, Plo8 bh’s)
    I did do rather well in the tournament we were in, and if I can find the “ It’s definitely rigged” hand It may show you why, easy game 😊.

    Take care mate, and if the upcoming best seller is anywhere near as good as “ Notes from the poker trenches” it’ll be fab.

    Ah, cheers Tom, appreciate the fab good wishes and it's always a joy (not necessarily from a playing poker perspective) to be on one of your (umpteen) tables.

    Did you win the tournament, then? Hope so. Interesting 3b size ...

    Loving the revival of the word rad - don't think I've heard or used it since around 1992 :)

    You've reminded me of this little thing I wrote quite a long time ago when I spent a lot of time skewering Silicon Valley and the tech industry. It's not nearly as funny to me now as it seemed at the time but it was one of the first things I got published online so I was quite proud of myself.

    "It was a weird time: go out and party in a field/aircraft hanger until 8am, come back, sleep, read a Jeffrey Archer novel, go back to school."


    That is some weird mix.

    I've told this story on the forum somewhere before. The short version is that I was attacked by a swan while I was trying to demonstrate to a lady how docile they are.

    Ah, 1992. I was more of a Big Brother type rather than a RAD type in 1992 but if you weren't into skating then you might be a (right now) what-the-****'s-he-going-on-about?-type.

    "showcasing" "seemingly crazy" "gut-wrenching" and so on all hit the mark. Fine work, dude.

    Think Steve @SR23 might have to be banned from the Escalating Freerolls.

    69th on Thursday, 75th last night.

    Freeroll Beast, or what?

    I may do but have been downswinging my tournament baps off lately and can't face the daily horror.

    But I may do.

    Slightly hungover so wasn't massively feeling it today but I did manage to nudge the bankroll up a bit, mainly from doing cool stuff like this:

    Must have somehow had *just enough* fe there and it's a pretty gin river once it goes x-x.

    ... and other cool things like this happening. Hope it's okay to leave the sn in as it's mega-standard. If there was a river shop where you could go in and buy rivers, I'd totally go in and buy this river:
