The Future of GNR????

Ladies and gentlemen, Mr. DJ Ashba.



Here's a pre-Slash / original GNR line-up (pre Slash!!) flyer I stumbled upon:

a welcome change....


















Ohai!!! The Lolcatz!!! - They never fail to bring a smile to my face.




The big(ish) game on Monday was unsuccessful. Just didn't get the cards, and when I did, I may as well never had. After a very tiring weekend I was running on fumes all day (and night) Monday. Soon after my exit from the game I retired to my room for some much needed sleep. A drunken Colly went on to beat Folk Hero in the main event, with Folk Hero dancing the victory dance in the HellKat that followed.

Had to work Paddy's Day which sucked, but it gives me a day to take whenever, so that's all good. The weather is seriously picking up over here and it is much better to enjoy some sunshine instead of the cold and the rain that seemed to be a permanent fixture since the "summer" of 2008.

Business as usual on the poker scene tonight, so once again the fingers are crossed.

This made me laugh also. It must be said that the article launched massive waves of anger throughout the GNR forums I visit, but I guess that's the hardcore "fans" for ya......

....normal service resumes

A bad night of poker. All night, 59, 28 over and over. When I got a decent hand I used it accordingly, but the decent hands were too few and far between that I just got bled out. At least I didn't rebuy.... The 2 games of hellkat were a shambles also.... Hungover now.... that sucks.

The credit crunch hits everything



I won the impromptu "Folk Hero Invitational" last Friday. I lost the bottle in Sunday's game though. Had a good feeling about the K 10 I was dealt, but with two players already all-in before me, I feared the arrival of an ace would seal my fate. It turned out I folded what would have been a full house, crushing all others. Finished 3rd so didn't lose anything but still annoyance over not going with my gut feeling about the K10. A shocking exit all the same, I'm BB and dealt 10c 5c. Flop drops 3 clubs. Suggo raises, I go all in. Darragh legs it, Suggo calls. King high flush on the flop for Suggo and I'm packin my bags. Another game tonight, another chance to dance.

2 Liverpool fans have a laugh, lovely lads.

after all this time....














I win the Wednesday game....I'm speechless. Rumours of a game tomorrow night, so let's hope this current run of luck continues.
