Poker



Funny slow roll I found on youtube randomly featuring Raszi (Ex Starcraft gamer). I would be annoyed by this too as it looks like Raszi is short stacked pushing all in to pick up the blinds. Just ridiculous.

I also got back from the Scottish Championships which consists of a week of events but I only turned up for the two bigger ones. The £500 and £1000 events. I crashed out early in the £500 and got 17th in the £1000. Dean "Strops" Lyall a Scottish average standard ex gamer (Age of Empires) :) won both these events which is pretty impressive or lucky, depending on how you view these things I guess. I wasn't that disappointed with my results because I got to play a decent amount of cash in incredibly juicy games. The game was only £5/£5 blinds but I managed to take home £8000+(a lot of it coming from Dean himself who tried to mess with a champion ex gamer and realized he made a big mistake) in winnings in perhaps 6-7 hours of cash game play. I enjoyed my time in Edinburgh, getting to know some of the local regulars a bit more, it is a shame some stuff doesn't happen a bit more often in Scotland. Congrats Dean.

Some guy has managed to make the "What can I Dew" commentary into a video with original replay. It is too long to upload to youtube right now so I'm seeing about getting it split into two parts. Was funny watching the replay again. It really was harshly imbalanced back then. They did fix it not long after, shame I quit soon after.
