(A picture of NIN performing "In This Twilight" on the final night of the Lights In The Sky tour. The tour looked amazing and its a shame we won't get to see it in all it's glory over here.)
Last night's house game started good. I played well, folding when I should fold, not get tempted by garbage disguised as greatness (Q 10 anyone?). When I had the cards I used them well (my slow rolled AA took Darragh temporarily out of the picture early on). All was going well, until a nasty hand depleted my chipstack. I had the guts of around €8 left and was dealt A5 suited. I had been getting a lot of crud so saw this as my opportunity to go all in.
then...
The fold-solid-crew got outta dodge and the call comes around to Folk Hero. And of course, he calls me. He then drops his catchphrase, "I think you have me here".
FH shows AQ (in reference to the catchphrase....how is AQ a dodgy hand????)
I drop my A5.
(at this point I knew my fate was sealed)
Here comes the flop
5! 5! (even now, I am skeptical) Q! (now I know I'm folked, it's just a matter of time....The Folkster laughs...)
Time for the Turn:
Garbage 9 or something
(I know what's next)
River me up:
Q (rofl from FH, acceptance from me.)
Game over. If this happens in the big game (scheduled to take place on 26th December), I am retiring from poker (or not playing when FH does), and that is bottom line.

Well, there has been a lot of doubt circling with regard to the Folk Hero's ability to folk it up as he used once do. It needed something special to remind the good people of Pokerton that the Folk Hero still rides, his benevolent gaze firmly fixed on his charges. Most pleasing, however, was Woo's car crash expression which lasted the rest of the game with the occasional shake of a resigned head to the fact that all his weird little 'laws' of physics are nothing more than a paper tiger, crumblin' beneath the weight of FOLK.
