I ran a quick simulation and it is

50% he played bridge
25% he rode a unicycle
25% he was being a professional clown
0% he spent his day writing posts on bridge simulations

Sorry if these numbers are wrong, my parameters are just approximate!

Anyway happy birthday :(

Thanks Helene.

Its great in an online world living in this time zone as my birthday stretches to nearly 48 hours.

gwnn it was none of the above sorry to disillusion you lol

I did think about doing some juggling.

Indeed.

My father arrived for a weeklong visit so we went out of lunch.

Poker my last game yesterday (today for you guys) sums up my recent luck (form).

Heads up (after starting a 6-table sitngo)
Chip stacks relatively even but I am slightly ahead. Approximately 4500 chips

Blinds are getting up I am not exactly sure and too lazy to go and look it up maybe 150/300

The other guy is loose as hell including many all-in raises or reraises throughout the game most of which have not been called.

I have AQo in the small blind and decide to trap with a call intending to reraise (or call if he pushes) and hoping for a disguised hand if I hit a flop.

He raises but only 3x BB. So he has a bit more than 1/5 of his stack in the pot.

I push.

He calls and turns over A5o and takes down the pot when a five hits and i draw blank.

Now for the kicker

I then have only a few chips about one BB.

I have 10-4 and am all in

he calls (obviously) and turns over 10-2 so I have him dominated again.

He wins of course :)

lol Wayne that sit&go was sick.

I lost a multi table tournament of 700 people with just 4 people to go stacks of 600k-600k-70k-20k with the other guy pushing all around as well

I called with AJo, and his K10 stood, it was a bad mistake to call with 2 players almost dead but his pushes were making me sick, but now I know better.

Anyway happy birthday!
