Game 1 – 8 players - (1st Dave, 2nd Ilan, 3rd Vic):
In a big hand, Dean hit trip 6's (nicely predicted by me) to JJ's AQ (nothing hit) - odd call by JJ.
Shazza also had AQ but folded it earlier)
JJ (77) out soon after to Jude (A8) when an 8 hit on the board
I go all in with 10 10 - Vic calls with A8 (???) and hits a lucky A on river (twat). Me out.
Dean out next, followed by Sharon and Jude
Vic huge chip leader but blows it big time to finish in 3rd.
After what seemed like another 4 hours, Dave beat Ilan heads up.
Game 2 – 5 players - (1st JJ, 2nd Dave, 3rd Barry):
With Dean asleep on the couch, game 2 began...
I (K10) won big hand vs Dave (AA) after hitting K and a 10 on the flop.
Me and Ilan, bored and short stacked decided to go all in blind. Ilan (9 10) wasnt happy when he saw my A K, and Ilan left with £1.25
Ilan out next hand !
Vic followed and I doubled up 3 times from just above big blind sized stack of chips.
However, lucky wanker JJ called my all in (KK) with A 10 and afgter I hit a K on the flop he started to leave. But the Q and J on turn and river gave the lucky c*nt a straight to send me home.
He beat Dave heads up, soon after.

Most other people play Wii or watch tv once knocked out. Oh no - that's not good enough for JJ.
Caught on camera. Knocked out, or knocking one out ? You decide.....

What am I doing wrong?
Okay, I'm tired of beating around the bush. I'm a beautiful (spectacularly beautiful) 25 year old girl. I'm articulate and classy. I'm not from New York . I'm looking to get married to a guy who makes at least half a million a year. I know how that sounds, but keep in mind that a million a year is middle class in New York City , so I don't think I'm over reaching at all. Are there any guys who make 500K or more on this board? Any wives? Could you send me some tips? I dated a business man who makes average around 200 - 250. But that's where I seem to hit a roadblock. 250,000 won't get me to central park west. I know a woman in my yoga class who was married to an investment banker and lives in Tribeca, and she's not as pretty as I am, nor is she a great genius. So what is she doing right? How do I get to her level?
Here are my questions specifically:- Where do you single rich men hang out? Give me specifics- bars,restaurants, gyms-What are you looking for in a mate? Be honest guys, you won't hurt my feelings-Is there an age range I should be targeting (I'm 25)?- Why are some of the women living lavish lifestyles on the upper eastside so plain? I've seen really 'plain jane' boring types who have nothing to offer married to incredibly wealthy guys. I've seen drop dead gorgeous girls in singles bars in the east village. What's the story there?- Jobs I should look out for? Everyone knows - lawyer, investment banker, doctor. How much do those guys really make? And where do they hang out? Where do the hedge fund guys hang out?- How you decide marriage vs. just a girlfriend? I am looking for MARRIAGE ONLY
Please hold your insults - I'm putting myself out there in an honest way. Most beautiful women are superficial; at least I'm being up front about it. I wouldn't be searching for these kind of guys if I wasn't able to match them - in looks, culture, sophistication, and keeping a nice home and hearth.

Dear Pers-431649184:
I read your posting with great interest and have thought meaningfully about your dilemma. I offer the following analysis of your predicament. Firstly, I'm not wasting your time, I qualify as a guy who fits your bill; that is I make more than $500K per year. That said here's how I see it. Your offer, from the prospective of a guy like me, is plain and simple a crappy business deal. Here's why. Cutting through all the B.S., what you suggest is a simple trade: you bring your looks to the party and I bring my money. Fine, simple. But here's the rub, your looks will fade and my money will likely continue into perpetuity...in fact, it is very likely that my income increases but it is an absolute certainty that you won't be getting any more beautiful!
So, in economic terms you are a depreciating asset and I am an earning asset. Not only are you a depreciating asset, your depreciation accelerates! Let me explain, you're 25 now and will likely stay pretty hot for the next 5 years, but less so each year. Then the fade begins in earnest. By 35 stick a fork in you! So in Wall Street terms, we would call you a trading position, not a buy and hold...hence the rub...marriage. It doesn't make good business sense to "buy you" (which is what you're asking) so I'd rather lease. In case you think I'm being cruel, I would say the following. If my money were to go away, so would you, so when your beauty fades I need an out.
It's as simple as that. So a deal that makes sense is dating, not marriage.Separately, I was taught early in my career about efficient markets. So, I wonder why a girl as "articulate, classy and spectacularly beautiful"as you has been unable to find your sugar daddy. I find it hard to believe that if you are as gorgeous as you say you are that the $500K hasn't found you, if not only for a tryout. By the way, you could always find a way to make your own money and then we wouldn't need to have this difficult conversation.With all that said, I must say you're going about it the right way. Classic "pump and dump."I hope this is helpful, and if you want to enter into some sort of lease, let me know.
