Why the gloves?

It was an inside joke between one of the players and a chat mod. I kept mine on for an extra few hands because they were lucky, but I couldn't deal with the hand sweat for very long.

Yeah I was wondering about the sweaty factor.

that looks like a decent setup

FREE BONES!

The live $1k SNG GOAT is back!!

Took me way too long to get back here to endorse this post.

Updates?

I had to miss the last few SNGs of the series and didn't win the seat. Played the tourney anyway, ended up getting 5th for 109k. The viewership seemed to be pretty good for the SNG series, hopefully they'll run it back.

Btw, my book is finally out, with a nice opening cameo from Gramps!

I'm in Kindle jail at the moment, apparently because my eBook's cover, title, description, and author name all resemble an existing book, which can only mean their brilliant AI-based fraud detection system thinks I plagiarized my own paperback. Now waiting 5 business days for a human (hopefully) to review my case. The future is fun.

But the paperback is alive and selling better than I expected so far. Preordering was a mess of delayed shipments for some reason. But a lot of people are starting to get their books this week. Supposedly that all smooths out after a few months. Assuming they don't ban me for plagiarizing my eBook.

I'm going to do a promotion for it in OOT for my 100,000th post, once the Kindle thing gets cleared up. But you guys get a sneak preview.

I made the post in OOT. First 10 people to PM me their address get a signed copy!

is this the story of how you fancied a couple of school girls on PCH?

We don't talk about that.

Hello guys! Do you have any study material or some coach recomendation if i want to dive into DON? Thanks

Just caught up a year's posts. Some awesome news in there... lacky on a sailboat, Suzzer playing live AND writing a book, and children growing up. Feels great to remember those fraught days of pure oker.

Got here from Instagram. Brynn Kenny has crossed $70 million in tourney winnings. Now normally I celebrate such poker success, but just can't do it. Sunday million, SB v BB, I have c40bb, I 2.2x, he 3 bets to 6, I call w J9o. Flop JT9 rainbow. Check, bet, jam. He has J8 and hits the straight. All fine, I bust and he then spends 30s telling the table what a moron I was and how badly I played the hand. Still rankles after c15 years.

Otherwise all well, although now living in Lima. Still have my place in Arequipa, still have a bed, booze and board offer open for you all ❤️

Went back to the UK for an army reunion, recreated our platoon photo from Sandhurst.
And we pushed the boat out for the coronation. Invited 20 people for a free lunch! I'd just had a hernia operation and couldn't manage to fasten my trousers
��

I'm still hoping to take you up on it some day!

Awesome. Good to hear from you. There's a 70% chance I will be in South America next year with my car. I just need to pull the trigger.

Holy crap the kids are all bigger!

If any of y'all ever visit Europe, let me know, I would like to see you.

Australia isn't in Europe.

You're still on the Isle of Man?

I'm pretty mobile - often in London. I went to Naples, Italy, for much of September/October for the pizza/weather/mozarella/ice cream. Melbourne for December/January. I guess I get around!

I was in Naples for one night in September. Got sick from food or the water from the hotel sink. Threw up throughout my long day of flying back to LA. Fun.

Cheers for the photos Matt, I have fond memories of that waist measurement!

Fwiw I'm still in the gambling world. Happy for the last C4 years at Gambling.com Group. Minor bit of soul searching a few weeks ago, I turned down a job offer to be head of poker content at one of our competitors. Decided to stick w GDC and carry on working on casinos.com where I look after the Canadian geo.

Good to see Josem here, he's now very political - strictly local - in the IoM.

Great pics Joss!!

In before the new year! GL to everyone in 2025!
