Can someone please tell Tom Feilding to muck :: :: :: if he gets dealt it. Thanks.

Ha, thanks for the tip  

I had a really enjoyable day - I bought into the tourney after a few too many beers and this morning I found myself on the train to London hurriedly flicking through Super System II trying to work out what exactly a good hand looked like in this game they call Omaha.

I was aiming to make the top 50 (so I could say I"m amongst the top 50 best amateur omaha players in the world. That"s right, isn"t it??) so was happy to get as far as 13th and even then my exit was a bit miserable after I caught a guy bluffing preflop only to then not have quite enough chips to price him out and his holding of 64xx rivered a straight. (I think he might be the guy currently in heads up)

Thanks Des for once again organising a really good day of poker.
