The usual brief weekend run-through today. The sun is shining & the lawn needs mowing.
Yes it was the same here, until I got the mower out. Then two laps of the garden and it started p***ing down, put the mower away, had a cup of tea, it stopped raining so I went out and started cleaning the car (as the grass was now too wet to mow), 10 minutes into that and it started raining again. I give up.

Warning to everyone, don't look at any pictures that @Tikay10 sends you privately entitled gardening fun.
#WorldNakedGardeningDay has been trending on twitter and Tikay has taken part and was keen to show how much he had enjoyed it and once you see that it can never be unseen!
A successful but frustrating night for Doobsy, 2nd here, 2nd again in the Main & 4th in Turbo, so over £2,000 in prize money, but when you get so close 3 times - 2nd, 2nd & 4th - there's always that little voice in your head saying "if only". Nice profit though.
In 5th was craigcu12, who does so well here but prefers to spend most of his time over on GG. Not seen much of him this week, just played the Main 3 nights, but played a bigger schedule last night & he was 5th here & 4th in Sheriff. If he spent more time here he would print with his eyes closed imo.
I think I only really screwed up the BWBH, and the blinds just got big, and did a bluff on the wrong river. Even then, I had previously got a big bluff through, so swings and roundabouts.
Was a bit of a comeback from the week before where I managed to be both first out and second out in the same comp. Bit of a victim of a loose call followed by 2nd nut FH into nut FH, which was pretty much unfoldable.
Anyway, think I can afford the Wynn now. Followed up these with a win in some $50 BH on Stars. Do you need a partner for the Tag Team hold'em @Tikay10?
Talking of Stars, back in the day the Big 109 was likely the biggest daily comp there with probably a $100k guarantee? (the 100 rebuy died long ago). Then they moved it from 7 to earlier and it got too early for me to late reg. Played it again last night for probably the first time in years. I managed to get 4th or 5th, but I only gor a few hunded and the guarantee was only $6k. A final table of that used to be decent 4 figures, now you can final table it and leave with nothing. Guess things change, but thought that was a little sad. They still have the players, but that guarantee is no bigger then many of the run of the mill tourneys there.
Go back a few years further & there was "The Daddy" on Ladbrokes every Sunday afternoon, which was a £100 Rebuy iirc. You were famous if you won The Daddy, & the next Sunday they'd name it after you. The Swedes from Linkoping (sp) - TheSalmon & so on - used to clean up.
Tag Partner in Vegas? Not sure if the dates fit, I'm there 30th June - 10th July, but have work engagements almost every other day. And It's Hold Em...
The tag team is on the 26th, so no good. There is a big PLO8 at the Venetian that day and a seniors at the Aria anyway.
More importantly the 1500 PLO8 is the day after. Will be strange playing it without you and Pete Linton is gone (RIP). Don't know if Rob Price is going, as I don't see him much anymore. Might be quite different ploughing a lone furrow.
We'll probably only cross on one day this time, as I am only going for a short time. Haven't arranged flights still but likely leaving on the 30th or 1st at a push.

Says the man who has a sit-on mower. Now that's hardcore.

Blimey, that is sad, it used to be a huge thing.
