As usual, my best results came early on from my rather unorthodox style of bidding without actually looking at my cards. Briefly this left me with more than the starting number of chips, but having switched to looking at my cards I then started to do much worse. It began with losing a large number of chips to Kernigit when he beat my ace high flush with a straight flush, and continued through two buy-ins to the point where I was looking dangerously close to being unable to fund the next round of blinds, so I went all in and lost for the third time. Majestic.

Cheers to Martin for the most ludicrously complicated poker system I have ever seen, which provided plenty of entertainment in itself. In case anyone ever wants to copy it, you are looking to arrange for the blinds to increase logarithmically in linear time. Apparently there is a "very configurable" program that enables you to do this. The debate about whether Martin actually downloaded this or spent three weeks of company time writing it continues to rage.

Also I thought the official title for the evening was the "Dubya Poker Stars 2009" or something like that? (RTT)
