You should write an entry on your thoughts about rush poker. A lot of people (SSNL grinders specifically) are looking down upon the new FTP update, and I was wondering what your perspective on it was.

If you’re still in Melbourne, I had an excellent meal there recently at Taxi Dining room which is down in Federation Square just near the river. Service was flawless.

Another restaurant to check out would be Rockpool Bar and Grill. While i’m from Sydney and have only been to the one up here, it’s probably the best steak I’ve had in Australia. Ask for the Cafe de Paris butter with your main if you go; it’s delicious.

Not sure where you’ve been getting such bad service but overall in Aus it’s typically pretty good. I certainly didn’t think it was worse than the few times i’ve been in the states.

In fact i’d be inclined to think that a system where tips are earned rather than expected/required would be more likely to generate better service. Most people still tip here if they feel it is deserving, so it’s in the wait staff’s best interests to be attentive.

P.S Fun pots on rush today =)

ha ha ha, great story! I thought you were playing a cash table, until I re-read your post. Not sure how Fenech is still in and you’re not but from what I heard he was catching some cards.

And how terrible was his 888 leather looking track-suit? Altho, I of course would not tell him that.

How’s your time in Melbourne going? Other than the bad service

I didn’t realize who that was until after he won a medium-sized pot from me and I tried to give him a fist pound, someone at the table started laughing and was all “you don’t want him to fist bump you…”

AUSTRALIA DAY!!!

Jay, You should thank the waitor at NOBU, he saved you about $300 when he screwed up the beef dishes and gave it us for free.

Least that gave you the chance to play more at the cash tables and hopefully take plenty off ex-boxer Jeff Fenech. Was wandering around the tables today and watched you groan as you folded queens pre-flop. Hope you’re enjoying your time in Aus
