There is a tinsy-winsy bit of needle at Table Sam prior to that 2xup.
Joe Grech - A-9 man - has been a bit grumpy today, & generally dissing the younger players. He was giving it large all afternoon, & I think Sam may have enjoyed that coup.
Yesterday, when Jingle had that K-K jobbie v A-9 (the nines tripped, but Jingle river-housed) Joe was a little bit out of line, suggesting "everyone & his wife knew the A-9 had hit trips". That's called aftertiming.
Joe is OK, but when peeps run bad, & the bankroll gets a bit low, that's when you see bad mouthing & niggley comments.
Nice one Sam. Unlucky Penguin and jinglema is just a boss played so so well during the levels I was at aphids table and was so cool calm and collected. Def has the chance to FT this bad boy.
Cheers for the rail btw.".much appreciated as usual and one of these days I will get there
The Spurs Bolton FA cup Tie has been abandoned after Bolton midfieder Fabrice Muamba collapsed on the pitch. The players appeared to be too distressed to continue.
Up here, in Walsall, it is like a bucket of cold water has been thrown on proceedings, as the match was being shown on the plasma screens.
Don't think too many of the players up here tonight will be complaning about bad beats.
Very very sad, but these things happen, & we must move on.
He is on his way home, with Mrs Lum, & he had booked a Hotel room for tonight @ "Village Hotel", across the way, where I stay. I had not booked a room for tonight - Mother keeps the purse strings nice & tight, quite right too, so I might need a room, if either or both of or lads go through, so that was vey nice of him.
He has about 20 Bigs - he is used to playing a lot deeper in cash games - so his stack is a bit difficult to "play".
If he can get a 2xup, he can go on the tear, & crush this, but he needs that 2xup, as he only has a sort of one-dimensionlal game with that stack - the old heave ho.

WE must move on then.
Play has resumed, & 26 remain.
Lets do this.
Lum Kit Ming just came to see me.
He is on his way home, with Mrs Lum, & he had booked a Hotel room for tonight @ "Village Hotel", across the way, where I stay. I had not booked a room for tonight - Mother keeps the purse strings nice & tight, quite right too, so I might need a room, if either or both of or lads go through, so that was vey nice of him.
Let us hope I need it!
Mr Lum & Giant came to see me before they went.
They absolutely loved the experience, & wanted to say to Sky Poker "thank you".
Here are the 2 lads - Giant is around his early twenties, & Mr Lum, amazingly, is 59.
Sam is in a bit of an awkward spot here.
He has about 20 Bigs - he is used to playing a lot deeper in cash games - so his stack is a bit difficult to "play".
If he can get a 2xup, he can go on the tear, & crush this, but he needs that 2xup, as he only has a sort of one-dimensionlal game with that stack - the old heave ho.
