Ok, a bit of a trip report, as much as i can muster/remember!!!
Thursday, myself and Lucy eventually arrived in the tropical stoke. After a (much shorter than Glenn"s) taxi ride we arrived at the pub and were soon joining Ger, Paulie, Rich and Glen in full flow, and awaiting the arrival of Phil, Matty and JB to complete the set.
As the last bell was rung, we decided to move over to the casino, meeting up with alot of people, most of whom"s faces are a little fuzzy due to alcohol intake!!!
3 card poker ensued, I lost a bit, Rich won alot, Ger pointed out the free seats on the 1/1 cash table. Myself, Ger, Lucy, Barber and grant, and Im not sure who else to be honest sat down, and the carnage commenced!7
We ended up playing until c.5am! I walked away at some point about £100 up, mainly thanks to the following -
Ger is talking (shock) and claims to have 2 3 off suit. He promptly raises.
I look down at 2 3cc. So decide that as i am ahead I will raise.
Then Lucy gets involved. Re raising to 20-odd pounds, with Ger pretty quickly calling. I had c.£45 left behind at this point, so decided the best place for it was in the middle of the table, getting called by both Lucy and ger, follwed by a "woops" from myself.
flop x x x (dont remember that bit, not overly important for my purposes) turn 3..... river......3 Lucy had JJ, and got knows what ger was messing about with!
After thsi the night is a right off (as are most of them) and after much begging I convince Lucy and Ger to let us go back to the hotel (i got up for work at 5.45am on thursday so have been awake for 24 hours) AND they had stopped serving alcohol! Considering my preperations for the Team event to be completed perfectly, I went to bed.
