  Ive never been one to ask for luck, just avoiding being unlucky is all i ask for! First the good news, the "A" game was out today as i played a mistake free game, that in itself is a mighty relief.

  At the weekends Vegas fills up with punters with money to burn, and alot of them fancy there chances as the next Stu Unger, so its a good time to get the fishing rod out and go fishing!
