Hi Tikay and Claire, looking forward to the evenings updates.
If you get a change ask Annie if she is over the 'bad beat' at the end of The Celebrity Apprentice* and watch her reaction. (she came second to Joan Rivers in the worst decision on that show ever).
best wishes, and good luck to Guy, Sue and Tony (not leaving out Tikay and Claire) !!! will there be more on the cuticle watch? please? Posted by lozgo
gd luck all bring sum cash back over that pond,also these cuticles,whats the chance of getting a photo of one of them kissing tikay!!!!!!
Go get them, good luck to you all, dont be nervous you should be really enjoying this as there is NO pressure on any of you. Remember to be true to yourself and play your own game, have no regrets.
Annie Duke just seems like a horrible person from everything i read about her and Daniel is definitely not alone in his dislike. Not to mention her UB affiliation and how she acted as a spokeswoman through the whole cheating scandal.
Daniel made a post about her years ago witth various stories, such as...
7) Cup Boy- Finally, my first ever meeting of this woman was at the Four Queens in 1996 when I was just barely 22. Up to that point I'd had virtually no success in tournaments in the US, but was eager to learn from the so called "superstars" of the game. ** Before I go any further, It's important to give you a little background info. At the club I played in in Toronto, we had no bottled water, just purified water you could get from the gallon. So I'd fill up a Styrofoam cup with water, and when it was empty, would leave it hanging from my lips so the porter wouldn't take it away and I'd have to waste another cup. This became somewhat of a habit you could say.** So here I am in this tournament, where across from me was this woman and another well known tournament player. This woman doesn't know me from Adam, but goes out of her way to ridicule and make me feel like an outsider. As though I didn't belong in her "clique". After witnessing her behavior I was pretty sure I didn't want any part of that "clique" anyway. KNOWING I could hear every word she was saying, she says to her "clique" member, "Oh my God, what's up with cup boy over there. I wonder what that cup's all about. You think it's for medical reasons." She then went on to giggle arrogantly. At this point I actually spoke up and said, "If you'd really like to know there is actually a pretty normal reason for it?" Apparently acknowledging my existence may have looked less "too cool to talk to the low limit players" if you know what I mean. In conclusion., with two odd tables to go I play a hand against her in which SHE WINS. I had a good amount of chips at this point and she was all in for less than a bet on the river. I had actually bet the turn with a draw, and checked the river when I made a pair. The board was (10-8-2) A- J. I held Q-J in the blind and called her raise from middle position. I checked and called the flop, and bet the ace on the turn hoping to steal it. On the river I made jacks, but didn't think she would call me with a worse hand but may check a better hand or even bluff. That's not important though. What is important, is that she berated me for playing the hand that way! "Oh my God, if you were going to call on the river anyway why didn't you just bet?? I mean, oh you know what forget about it. I shouldn‘t be educating." I was beyond puzzled, but to be completely honest slightly embarrassed. I was there alone and knew no one in the tournament whatsoever. At the time I wasn't certain if I actually made a horrendous error or not. I may have spoken 20 words the entire tournament, and couldn't fathom why someone would want to be so mean to a complete stranger? Anyway, I later thought about the hand and realized that she was absolutely WRONG about the correct strategy in that situation. Considering the information I had, I played the river just fine. Couple years go by, I get lucky and win a few tournaments… and all of a sudden she is all nice to me. Phony nice of course, but nice nonetheless. The more I got to know this woman however, the more I was witness to her true colors and the more I disliked her. Despite making my BEST efforts to tolerate her obnoxious personality I no longer wanted to put up with it. The only thing I'm sorry about in all this, is what it has done to many of my friends who happen to have thicker skin than I and can tolerate Annie. It puts them in a peculiar position. That I regret. Other than that, NOTHING I've ever said to her, or about her is something I'd ever consider apologizing for. Those are my true feelings… and I sleep well.. You see, I don't NEED to be Mr. Phony Nice Guy, all I gots to be is who I is. I ain't gonna say what y'all want me to say, I'm onna say wazz on my minds when I feels like it. Na' I mean? **** straight.

Many Thanks Tikay. Hope you had a nice rest yesterday.
Good luck to all three of you. You are doing great, and I feel that you will all cash xxx
As to the Annie & Little Danny "feud", which is fairly well-documnted over the years, I'll need to steer clear of it if we get to interview Annie today.
Miss Duke can be a little feisty at the best of times, & we've had occasional spats in the past, the latest being last year.
Annie is heavily involved in "Antes Up for Africa", an organisation against which many accusations of impropriety have been made. I feel it's probably best not to comment further on that, except to say that "Antes Up for Africa" will never ever see a single penny of my money.
We have just interviewed all three of our players, & it will be Uploaded as soon as possible, probably take about 5 minutes. Fell free to nag Atilla - I'm too scared to. She's a little delicate today, having been at Neil Channing's little party yesterday. Posted by Tikay10
Brilliant cant wait to watch it...tell everyone we miss them!!! Good luck and come back rich you lot! x

Already signed upto Tikay's twitter page so hopefully you'll be twitter mad tonight, especially as the site's down for 6 whole hours :-(..
But while scanning the list I saw "LOLUFOLD" is doing very well sat in 460th with a massive 133,400. (Redmond Lee)
Will Brewin's chipcount is 75,900 which puts him in 1240th.
