Played the tennis match - 1st set was reasonably close (a bit too close for comfort as i had myself down as 1/5 fav) and I won on a tiebreak but set 2 was over very quickly 6-1. I looked up the atp rankings and I have earned about a much from tennis this year as the UK number 8..... and i didn't have to travel to Kenya and Uzbekistan to do it! so that was fun and good... i felt a bit bad for Ben as he was so confident and was gutted when he lost (not 4 the money - that would have been why i was gutted) but for the loss.
Anyway with that cash in my tail I decided to bite the bullet and pay Chris the weight loss bet at £750 instead of the full £1150.... a bit of a blow that one but i really think 3st in 3 months would be just about impossible - but the fast bastard has only eaten cupasoup type things for the last 8 weeks... ffs nice will power well done Chris... he only has 8lbs to go in 5 weeks so it is a £400 saving for us as I am sure he was like 1/50 to do it.
As for poker - I mentioned in the last post that I have hardly been playing online. Indeed since (and even b4) the wsop this year I have mainly been playing 1 day live cash game at the maybury Edinburgh and that's about it. The game I have been playing is dealers choice but the games are usually 6card omaha hilo and superstud (7 card stud hilo - where u get 5 cards to start from and u must pick 3). The games are so much fun to play and we usually start at 8pm 7 handed and by the end of the night there is usually about £8,000 - £10,000 on the table! Its a very big £1/£2 game. The sit down is £200 and if anyone fancies a game in Edinburgh just drop me an email.
The problem with blogging and playing a live cash game is that I know and like the players I play with so I am not going to post anything interesting or insulting about them, so the only thing would be the occasional hand history which is boring and it wont be any good hands as wont want to post hands where friends I know have lost.
So it looks like this blog isn't going anywhere fast. Unless i start playing online again - which I certainly don't play too until Jan at least. (I'm off to Hong Kong for a week in mid Dec) the only poker I will be playing is DC Cash games so if anyone fancies playing with me then email or head along to maybury Edinburgh on a Tuesday.

Graham stick that comment back up - makes for a better read.
plus as you never post the rants of Mr A are probably generating some nice additional traffic and advertising $$ for you.
which is fairly generous for someone who is at war with the world.
he's a good speller though, that must be noted.
