I’m off to play some real life poker this evening, which is a good time to remind you, the punter, that there is a game of poker at Full Tilt on Sunday night at 8pm, and if you do well in this one and well in most of the other events, you can possibly win this trophy, a gold medal, and the £75 that goes with it all.
There will also be fun chat about whatever anyone can be bothered to bring up on the night (doubtlessly a running commentary of the BAFTA Film Awards), and lots of whinging when I get inevitably get tediously outdrawn once again.
So don’t worry if you’ve never played with us before, we are quite gentle, albeit in an aggressive manner. And there’s nothing on telly Sunday night. Not unless you really like Dancing On Ice or Lark Rise to Candleford, anyway.
I completely forgot to add isn’t-news-weird quiz The Bubble with David Mitchell to this week’s Board of Excitement, I’m not overly convinced it will be brilliant, but Frank Skinner, Victoria Coren and Reginald B Hunter are on the first one. BBC2, 10:00pm. I’m ‘out’, so expect some opinion on it sometime, ooh, during the weekend.
Also! I’ve got a ticket to go and see The Whole 19 Yards – 3:30 until ‘approx.’ 8:30. They had better improved it over the Spanish one, frankly.
Has it been mentioned that Vernon Kay and Caroline Flack are the hosts?
Looking forward to it, Brig! (already registered under SMIFFY50)
Entered their Big Little Tournament last week and suffered a particularly bad beat – went all-in with KK, other player had 10 J – flop comes 9 10 J (then blanks) – I’m 83% when the money goes in! (Although interestingly, I’m still 37% after a pretty horrific flop, but still) Surely I can’t keep losing 80% shots…?
Anyway, should be good fun, and everyone on here should have a go if they can – the more the merrier! If you want, I could mention it on dond.co.uk, as some BB lurkers also reside on there…
Go for it! The more the merrier as far as I’m concerned.
I quite like the Big Little Tournament – fields in this sort of thing tend to half about once an hour, so you’re probably in the money after about three hours, provided you don’t get horrifically bad beaten. Unfortunately it’s doubtful with work the next day I’d be able to stick it out until the very end.
