Show 43 is on the way

After our loooooong break from the show, I'm happy to say that Zog and I have been recording again, and it won't be too long now until Show 43 hits the airwaves.

Some people mailed in to nag/encourage us, most of them expressing concern and hoping that nothing bad had happened to either of us. It was nice to see how much people cared about the show and about the pair of us.

If you already subscribe to the show via iTunes or another feed, our latest offering should be dropping into your computer in the next few days. Hope you like it...

Battle of the Kings

I guess you get to see every possibility playing internet poker in the end and I've heard worse bad beat stories, but they are usually about hands you should have won. Not this time.

Ten away from the tickets in a small MTT, seven at the table, blinds 50-100 and a lot of successful small steals going on. On the button I'm dealt KK. UTG+1 puts in 300, leaving himself 1000 or so. I have him outchipped by 50. The money's going in. He doesn't hesitate (understandably) and flips over the other two Kings.

A few LOLs in the chat from the other players - then a few more salty comments as four hearts come on the board to give him the flush.

Boo, poor me. Take a guess on the chances of that and then highlight the missing text chances4.3% overall - half that each back there.

Writely or wrongly

I'm hoping to post this direct to the blog, which I've been a little slack in updating recently, using the public beta of Writely. If this one succeeds I'll put in a proper post whinging about my most recent bad beat.
