Euro Poker Tweets Of The Week

Twitter was full of goodwill this week with romance and giving thanks the dominant themes but while our US cousins were preparing to tuck into their holiday turkeys then shop ‘til they drop, closer to home there were some nerves in evidence.

Author, and PokerStars pro Victoria Coren appeared a little nervous before her big day last Sunday.

I seem to be having a little trouble sleeping.

Off on exotic honeymoon now. First stop: Preston. Magical in the rain. See you in Decemberxx

A new day +40K playing a lot smaller than usual – still a lot of catching up to do, considering my huge 1.5M loss
