A California state champion

Well, for those of you who don't yet follow my tweets, I became a State champion yesterday. The $125 pot limit omaha rebuy event was won by yours truly. For those of you unfamiliar with Omaha, its another one of the many types of poker game, where you are dealt four cards instead of just two. Jolly good game, with many more different combinations to tinker with, and at the end of the day, it's still poker, and it's still a trophy. In fact a rather attractive bear, which is the state symbol of California.

Here is your first portrait of Lord F in action

Lets just hope we can turn this win into a little hot streak, and take it back to Las Vegas for the World Series of Poker.

This is why it is called Bear Hunting, and I managed to win myself a coveted bear. Its a bloody heavy little bugger, hmmmm, now to try and persuade Lady F that it will look good on the mantelpiece in 'position A' back at the stately home.
