Community Roundup feedback thread
Poker Blog of the Week
Ok so usually I like to try to highlight a new blog every week, sharing it around the community, both new members and existing ones in equal measure. This week, for the first time ever I'm highlighting a 2nd blog from the same community members. Why? well because they're all extremely well known and much loved members of the community and also it is very funny to see, read & watch.
The diamonds namely twicet, opal99, thelastnail & gerv are currently doing a winter tour around Europe and seem to be enjoying (just a little) vodka along the way. Enjoy the blog folks.
