Day 266 ... World Cup of Poker at PokerStars ...

Random Weather Report ... Charrapunji 89F Chance of Rain

Not suprising really as Cahrrapunji, Bangladesh is offically the wettest place on the planet - watch out tomorrow there is a high chance of tropical storms.

Found this random weather generator although it's not half as random as my actual reports from random places - The Weather Randomiser

Pretty miserable play at poker heaven ... I had got comfortably up in a couple of the cash games only to blow it - which is the same as usual. Then I ended up making a Full House and was drawing in a player clearly on a fush draw for all his money - the last card came down making him a flush but with an outside possibility of a straight flush - I went with it and sure enough he'd hit the straight flush on the river - NH.

4kingpoker stuff ...

Progress is proving slow at the moment but I'm hoping to have the news section sorted so I can start adding and building the site again. it's taken me ages to sort out the links to and from everywhere as I'd renamed a load of pages to make things work better - but as with changing anything you never get it quite right first time.

Hopefully no more dead links - if you find one then tell me.

Titan Series this weekend - It's the last game this weekend at Titan before the final of the current series. It's a $3+0.30 buy-in with $50 addded - which needs to be busy as you can only qualify for the highest 30 scorer's final if you've played in a buy-in tournie. The series seems to have been a success and we're just sorting out the details for the Titan Series II which is great news.

There is a 500 piece poker chip set up for grabs for the Series Winner - but if it's someone in the States it'll probably be easier and better for them if I send an amazon voucher - no point in half the prize money going in shipping costs.
