jeffster Posted July 8, 2006 Share Posted July 8, 2006 Lads "n" Lasses, Have I missed anything major in the last couple of months while I have been away from PL ? Anyone won big money ? Anyone qualified for the WSOP ? Unfortunately, due my Dad having a stroke on May 5th, and then being diagnosed with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (Heart and Lung Disease) and then Cancer, I have spent too much time in bloody hospitals, and pretty much zero time on Poker... Oh, and I am still jobless, despite making 264 applications to date... I will try and play a bit from now on, to take my mind off other things...Mostly freerolls, but it will get me back into the swing of things... Cheers, Jeff Oh, and if I may take this opportunity, I hope the smokers amongst you give SERIOUS thought to quitting : Would you take £5 out of a cashpoint every day, and set fire to it ? A mate of mine reckons that in the last 8 years, he has spent around £20,000 on Cigarettes ! £20,000 ! Think of how many Poker tourneys you could buy into with that ! :loon OK, pontification over ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Misread this and hadn;t seen it was about smoking - thought it was about some peoples poker results :rollin and the one thing we winners here on Punters Lounge don't want to do is discourage people from losing at poker - long may they survive and enjoy the experience whilst still losing an affordable amount :clap :clap As a non-smoker I totally agree on the smoking front - mind you similar sentiments exist with every other hobby (or addiction) - even wine,women and song.....

GaF Posted July 8, 2006 Share Posted July 8, 2006 Re: What's been happening while I have been away ? Sorry to hear about your bad news Jeffster :sad Agree with your thoughts on smoking, however not sure the message will really get through to smokers who haven't managed to get the message yet anyway....... Big Money winners - does over $16,000 count for Tax Monkey? (won the seat through a PL league :) ) WSOP - 5 PL'rs qualified - 3 in the Main Event - http://www.punterslounge.com/forum/showthread.php?t=30923 Plenty of other wins too :) But I'll let you catch up on them. A lot of PL'rs in Ibiza at the moment with Goalpoker if it seems quiet..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(won the seat through a PL league :) ) Slight correction GaF? it was $14,300 came out as £7,600 and a big hangover by the time it hit my bank. Jeffers very sorry to hear your news, not sure what to say but my best wishes to you and your Dad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
