Poker cancelled due to bad weather.

Rich Merrill and Joe Lipscomb are practically neck and neck as we start the penultimate month of the Winter season.

Last week, Andy Williams notched up his second win of the season but having missed the top table on almost every other occasion the Champion of Champions is still only ranked 9th.

There are 3 players with 2 wins each who are in a prime position to challenge for the lead, Joe, Miles and Clive, all within 1 win. (I can't believe I've actually got points-envy).

The final table started much later than normal last week. If there are more than 16 players this week the big blind will start at 400. There are other options and I've spent the last 2 hours considering them, and writing my rationale down in preparation for inclusion in this email, but it's nearly midnight and if I don't send this in the next few minutes my balls could turn into pumpkins. Arg... too late!

If the question is 'Is there a game at the Black Bull in Longstanton this Thursday, (Feb 9)?', then the answer is 'Why, yes there is, thanks for asking'.
