Well, the picture gallery had been enabled on the site a long time ago, mainly to post the 'Poker Pros' pictures we took in Las Vegas this year. But since i had some spare time this week I thought it would be nice to post some pictures of parties and other stuff from years ago ...

Some of this is really nice to see after such a long time ... we've all grown quite a but older since these were taken (4 years or more ago !) ... What i've posted so far is :

2004 Boom festival in Portugal

2004 Antaris project festival in Germany

2004 Queensday goatrance party in Amsterdam

Then I also found a few good picture series of my birthday partie in 2001 !! These are awesome, especially if you were there at the time :) .. man has time gone by quickly or WHAT ???!?!?!?

2001 Allans birthday

And finally, I also posted some vacation pictures from a few cool holidays that me and Flora had together ...

Vacation pictures :

Allan and Flora in Vlaardingen (2007)

Allan and Flora in Mechelen (2007)

Allan and Flora in Denmark (2003)

more, MUCH more coming soon ... i've now got the hang of converting everything to a good size and posting them all in 1 go ... The most work is just adding some text to each image, maybe I'll just skip that coz nobody really reads it anyway ! So stay tuuuuuuuned !!!

I've been watching the WSOP 2008 coverage from ESPN the last few weeks with great interrest. Not only because I was in Las Vegas at the time of the event, but also because I'm familiar with a lot more of the names now and I saw a lot of big name pros getting quite far in the event. I would have loved to see a big name pro at the final table but I guess we will have to do with Chino Reem. Chino is a likable character and a very good player from what I've seen, so I'm happy to see he made the final table with a decent chip stack.

The other players at the final table are all amateurs and semi pros, I really hope this year will be the real comeback of the pros. This would really show that poker IS a game of skill, not just a gambling game like blackjack or roulette. That, in turn, could help turn around the 'Unlawfull internet gambling act' that was enforced in the USA this year.... I don't agree with that law and really hope for the US players' sake it will get changed now that Obama is leading the pack over there.
