Hero Of The Month - Imi from the NPF

One minute playing at the Grosvenor in Newcastle the next the word is out that he is in hosital with Meningitus. Thankfully a speedy recovery and hopefully see him at the tables again soon.




Knob Of The Month - Sir Alex Ferguson



Has an opinion on everything and generally a whining git. A shame really as he should leaving the talking to his team on the pitch but no has to stick his oar in. People say Man Utd are disliked because of their success. Thats bollox. Its the antics of him and some of his players over the years. People wanted to see someone else win in the 70s and 80s but still respected Liverpool and their managers. Basically they werent twats. He is !!!

Septembers Gatsby Awards

Will be posted over the weekend. Not been online much. Had the old swine / man flu but hammered the Benolyn and Beechams and recovered well. None of this 1 sachet per hour or teaspoon every 4 hours rubbish . Just mix it up and down in 1. Ok it might make your liver tingle a bit but as long as it gets rid of the snotty nose and the cough its a result.
Still off the alcohol (bar really special occasions) and that seems to help the poker. 4th, 6th and 7th in the pub poker. Online i havent played for a couple of weeks. I might try the Stars multis on Sunday night. So say hi if you see me at the tables. I'll be the one working my bollox for 6 hours only to bust in 40th of 3,500 for 10 bucks but got to keep cracking.

Anyways as said will post the "September Gatsbys" over the weekend as am still doing the write up. Plus im knackered and cant be arsed now.

Pictured below is the early front runner for October.Beth who beat her dad (Koyte from the Newcastle Poker Forum) heads up tonight when he had 138,000 chips to her 1,500. Quite an achievement as even Lazarus had 5 big blinds.....
