Yeah mate, that's the one......'The Hendon Mob'.....
And lets not forget 'Devilfish'

I find it worryingly addictive!

Let's hope i don't turn words into actions

Adz..

Thats the guy, Devilfish
It's well addictive mate, I used to love watching it. No Sky here though Hope they do another series on 4. One of the croupiers is quite foxy too

You must be talking about Marina.
(Mad hair!!!!!)
Certainly get some characters on there, including one bloke who changes his sunglass after nearly every hand!

The lovely Marina
There's some right wierdo's, but they know what they're doing I suppose. There's one episode where the players are all celebrities, like Stephen Fry, who's supprisingly good.

Clive Sinclair has been on there a few times too.

Myself and some pals have started a monthly game of no limit texas holdem (what they play on the telly) ...I won 90 sobs last time round

Yeah, i know what you mean mate. I know shank all about cards, although when i was well young, me mates ma & pa used to play them with their gypo friends. They used to play & bet with a bag of gold jewellry, wad of 20's/50's or sometimes a motor.
I remember when me mates old man chucked one of them out of the front door after loosing!!!!!!!

I thought it was better to be mates with his family, than an enemy!!!!!!!.......if you see what i mean

Weekly Texas No-Limit game here too
£20 (1 re-buy allowed)
Usually 6-8 players, (2nd prizes often negotiable)

BTW, I see Devilfish took $589,990 in a tournament recently. How the hell does he do it

Kahuna's of steel. I heard he's been banned in a fair few English casinos for winning so often.

I'd love to set up a weekly game but no-one know's how to play round here, and abhor the idea of betting their own money

On One of the Discovery channels the other night they showed a poker tournament on a cruise ship which lasted 1 week.
A mix of amateur & professional players.
Outrageously a woman player won, beating off the great Phil Helmuth Jnr. to win the cool $1m

Some of their bets were well over $100 thousand

That would be the one - I thought it was the same. Great fun watching though...

A good version - especially when the River Card Drops !.
