All very valid reasons for raising that's for sure. I had a very good weekend playing in the cash game - plenty of fun money for Pendleton now - not that I will have any time to use it! I intend to go very deep both days. Wish me luck! I hope I last long enough to send you at least 2 or 3 update texts - hopefully a lot more. :)
