cant believe nicky is going across the water to play for the queens coin instead of picking up his usual 30 or 40k in his beloved macau! Maybe the great man is tired of being a big fish in a small pond.

I'd expect the Waterford players to support the Cork tournament so maybe you should try the Fitz, but then again you have more or less admitted they are better so maybe best hold on to the cash for Christmas pressies

i can't quite follow your train of thought here .Can you explain in non joined up thinking.

i am trying to get a subtle dig at the fitz and bump the macau thread and advertise that both fj and i have secured tickets for forthcoming tourney.

having a dig at notable deise players ( presume you mean nicnic and storan ) was not on my agenda .

BTW not interested in slanging match with the lesser lights of south east poker , i will leave that up to corkie 321

let the decrepit old geezers slug it out i'd say for county pride

i'm only interested in team sideshow:D:D:D
