Played the SPT yesterday in Manchester and although I did not go much over starting stack, it was an enjoyable day, 5k starting and a 30 minute clock. No real hands to talk about, just a good few hours before going out when I shoved my 4k (300/600/50) with J 10 spades and was called by A 5 and no help.

Oh well the next live game I will play will be in Vegas next Saturday and I will  share the ups and downs of that den of iniquity on here.

Ok so the Chezger migration to Vegas has begun, well a little trickle anyway. The first stalwart will depart from Manchester, tomorrow, on the Thomas Cook sandwich express. It is billed as a direct flight, but I believe it hops down in Edinburgh to pick a few strays from North of the border.

Two more depart on Saturday from Manchester (via Newark). Don't ever say we are predictable when it comes to travel arrangements.

That means this year we are a depleted crew, but will cause a wee bit of havoc anyway. We are billeted at the Imperial Palace and will be frequenting numerous casinos in order to boost our meagre bankrolls.

As I have posted elsewhere if anyone is in the vicinity give me a text and we can have a few beers and maybe a bit of craic at the tables.

One Chezger member safely dropped at the airport this morning, roll on Saturday. Was up to take Dan to the airport this morning at the unearthly hour at 5am, fired up the PC and was asked to upgrade AVG free. Every step of the way it was exhorting the need to upgrade to the $49 version. It took a while to find the link to upgrade my free version, but it is there buried in the small print at the bottom.

Anyway it got me thinking that they must (and other providers) be losing so much revenue because of this free product.

I find it ok and feel it's a good as any of the others.

Back at home from the airport and am felling restless I want to be in Vegas NOW......

AVG Free


You might want to run an F-Secure Online Virus Scan if you"ve been using AVG in the past.

I shocked a few APATers around this time last year ... I think Mair"s 38 infected files (from 17 Spyware and 2 Viruses) was the least, all of which got through Super Anti Spyware, AVG and Zone Alarm. 4 Viruses+ wasn"t / isn"t uncommon.
