18 superheroes turned up to find out more about this OLBG SHOE event starting this Wednesday 19th March, we all agreed that we need to all go away and get some more 7 cars stud experience before Wednesday night otherwise Bonak will absolutely murder us!

Congrats to Burfoot for winning his first OLBG Poker title; he has been with us only for a short while and has knocked on the door a fair few times, last night he got his reward for his good performaces by picking up the gold rosette. I suspect there is more to come from this superhero now that he's found the winning groove. Nicely done BF

Tigergambit is always a threat when he plays and he came excrutiatingly close to picking up his 2nd OLBG Poker title last night, he looked comfortable with whatever sized stack he had infront of him and played solidly the whole night through. Job well done TG

Gruffe showed us all that he's still hungry for more success, he slowly worked his way into contention last year and he seems to be doing the same this time around, although he looks to be peaking earlier, so we all better get a move on because we could be eating this superheros dust by August if he reaches top gear in spring! Excellent performance Gruffykins

Many thanks to all who took part in the main event and the slightly unorthodox after party we had last night

The OLBG Poker leaderboard has been updated

Thursdays tournament is open for registration, support the cause!

I must admit that having fought my way back HU from 2k to the lead I thought it was going to be my night. Not to be, however, and congrats to Burfoot for a well earned first victory. The second is proving rather elusive for me I fear .

I can't believe that I lost to someone who grew up less than 5 miles from where I did, albeit in a different era. Creepy .

GG all who played and in particular very unlucky Gruffe and Tunny - last night's victims of the curse of Ladbrokes

Inactivity would be my first guess Jonesy, if neither of you two have posted summat on yer blog in 6 months, Ant might have done some spring cleaning in order to keep things tidy aswell as bring new people in. If that's not the case and you'd like it back, all I can say is you'd have to ask using the OLBG contact form:

http://www.online-betting-guide.co.uk/contact.php

The only other reason I could think of would be if you had said something that was libelous or untrue like Leeds are a decent football team

I'm sure you'll get to the bottom of it, and no I'm not talking about Leeds and the league 1 league table
