Last Year's Blog:


I was made to relive the Wimbledon Tickets fiasco and creative suggestions were offered from around the table.


Quotes of the week (last year):


Barry: after piling his chips up high, announced “just replicating my kn0b”.
Dave: “is it made of chips?”
Barry: “no, it’s black”.


Vegas Update from Dave :

Just missed the money again at the caesars multi table today. Down to last three tables (two paid) and had pocket 4s and all in against ace 10 off. Flopped 4 but came 4 spades to give her a flush. Lucky cow.
On a brighter note just won $175 sit and go that pays for entry into event of wsop so not all bad.May play caesars again tom or the $1500 shootout event. Going to bed now though for a well deserved rest ( its about half three).
