I have been playing online at Full Tilt a lot lately, and having some good finishes. I’ve been playing mostly MTT’s NLH, PLO and 7 game mixed. I am getting ready for the upcoming FTOP’s. I have been playing some of the satellites for the various events and hope to save a substantial amount of the registration that way.

I am headed back to Cyprus for a few days as a consultant to help with the planning for the next tournament they are planning. I am looking forward to a week on the Mediterranean Sea. I might hop over to see Istanbul, having never been there before. I have to say I liked the name better when it was Constantinople. It was just chosen recently as the Joint European Capitol for Culture.

From there I am off to Toronto for the Canadian Poker Expo, November 6th -8th at the world congress center. Then back to NY City for a charity event on November 17th on Wall Street, being hosted by Omega Watches and for the charity Shoes for Africa: http://www.shoe4africa.org/ This is going to be a great event and it is taking place at The Tourbillion watch Boutique at 45 Wall St. in NY City.

From there I head to Scottsdale Arizona for the Holdem for Hero’s to benefit fallen officers: http://www.taserfoundation.org/sites/HoldEmForHeroes/Pages/celebrities.aspx
Anyone interested in attending either event you can contact me at: winstonpoker@yahoo.com

Roy...

Your blog is a joke... almost as funny as your ROI.

When are you going to write up a post about when it is ok to welch on prop bets? I've been calling you out every chance I get about the $5k bet you welched on against me... loudly... to anyone who will listen. In the 15k Bellagio... in the $5k Caesars. What throws me most is how unsurprised all the other players are about it.

The only thing that makes me feel a little better about the situation is that I'm pretty sure I'll be seeing less and less of you in actual WPT and WSOP poker tournaments until you eventually fade away. Because let's face it... you're not a winning poker player.

And you're not a good person.

Man, I had some real funny stuff to say about the "Dutch Boyd" post, like how funny that would be if Dutch really did post that bit about the $5k bet when he promised to pay back all that lost money from his online poker site that went defunct if he "ever won a big score". lol. But, alas, i digress, as i've promised myself i would NOT make anymore posts here until Roy W. answered my question about online poker sites permitting BOT use by making it easer with BOT-FRIENDLY software such as AUTO-RELOAD, as an example. So, i cannot comment about the previous posting til then. Nuff Said.
