A good night on the pokerz tonight.
I played 3 of the deepstacks on Sky Poker to help support blonde"s new sponsorship deal with them. I played two £2.20 tournies and a £22er. I managed to win one of the £2.20ers for £75 and came 2nd in the £22er for £156 (after having my oppo all-in & dominated post flop only for him to bink on the turn :()

I can also recommend the "Tikay Sleepstack"
As well as the better than average* structure you can also keep entertained with some of the table chat and hand analysis
One player called an all-in 5 bet with ace high (for almost all of his >100bb stack) and spiked an ace on the river to knock out his opponent"s QQ (over pair to the flop when the money went in) - one of the other players then congratulated him on playing the hand well, and I"m fairly certain he wasn"t being ironic or sarcastic!
Later on a couple of players were left baffled as to why a short stack in the small blind would call 2 all ins with TJ - what was more baffling to me was that when one of them brought up a hand where he"d cracked AQ with AK; the AK player said he hadn"t minded that as "that was just a standard race"
All in all - a good tournament to play ;D
*for Sky poker

That puts me in profit for the year to date. Which is nice.

Here"s the others photos worth posting. They were taken on my phone and I"d reduced the quality as I thought I might be posting them direct from my phone and didn"t want to use up all my 10MB data roaming allowance on a few photos.
The casino. It really was very futuristic-looking from the outside.
Mr Shallis. I believe he may have had a couple of shandies.
Mr Laming. Our proud fourth place finisher.
A (rather poor) view along the seafront as our brave expeditionary force venture away from the Hotel Excelsior in search of more beer on the first night.
