Learnt a lesson tonight

Played in the posters freeroll tonight an learnt a very valuable lesson........

Had a real bad day at work, had a pupil bullied by a lorry driver and kept trying to intimidate her for nearly a mile today. Now being an ex class 1 driver, i know how these big trucks should be driven like. So we get to some traffic lights an i decide enough is enough an snapped! i get straight out the car and climb the steps to the cab an have it with a sheepish looking lorry driver an point out the error of his ways!!

Next pupil has a bus driver pull out on him as we were passing, obviously did not check his blind spot or mirrors before pulling out ..... missed the car by inches. Wait at the next bus stop to have a go at this idiot!! Last pupil of the day a driver who has been driving without a licence for the last 4 years is just not paying any attention to me so i have it with him and pass him onto another instructor forthwith.

Have been waiting for driving examiners jobs to become available, get home letter from DSA waiting for me saying there are jobs available, but in london!! no chuffin use to me as i live 73 miles away!! So had a real bad day come an play in posters freeroll in seething mood an still bubbling nicely!!! out in about 10 hands!!

Morale of this story - Don't play poker in a bad mood!!!

off to chillout for the evening, no poker, no forum just a bit of peace an quiet an restore some form of calm ;)

    Atleast its just your poker that has been effect so far, your tale reads like a charge shee for the trumped up charge of "road rage" and that can really spoil your day - If you approach another vehicle and lean through the window to confront the driver you are actually assaulting them - you dont need to drag them out and give them a kicking, or ram them off the road!  Also you never know if you are confronting a knife carrying idiot who is having a worse day than you!

    Get the electronic cig out and only give driving advice to those that pay you ;-0

    Hi Maf

    You must have the patience of a saint to put up with all that during the day!  You job has to be sooooo frustrating sometimes, all those bad inconsiderate drivers out there!

    At least the Posters tournie didn't cost you anything!

    Oh, and i had a really bad day at work too! And guess what i was out of the 22 deepstak very early today, trying a bluff which i wouldn't normally do!

    So I completely agree it is essential to be in the right frame of mind to play this wonderful game we call poker

    Hope you can relax for the rest of the evening m8 and that a job closer to home might come up for examiners soon, you never know!

    Greg

    Hi Wayne

    Hope you're refreshed when you read this, after a night off.
    Any chance you can get an examiners job up here in glasgow.  My girlfriend is learning to drive just now, so it would be somewhat convenient if you could be in a position to provide a lenient examination ;)

    Hi Margate,

    The great thing about your story, is that despite having a really naff day, you RECOGNISED you weren't in the right frame of mind, played a freeroll and then logged off for the night. For a newbie, that's impressive. You can seriously damage your bankroll in that mood.

    Tonight I feel tired, so I've just played a couple of dym's after being rivered by a 2 outer in the double stack, and not played any cash, as I'm not in the mood for the grind.

    Tomorrow's another day...

    Hi Wayne

    I was surprised to see that you had gone out so early in the Posters free roll.
    At least I know the reason now.
    I hope you have had a quiet evening chilling out and will be back tomorrow ready to put the bad day behind you.

    Well, woke up this morning in a much better mood an chilled!! looking forward to the day ahead!! I really cannot explain why i got so wound up yesterday, i am usually pretty calm an smile at these idiots but yesterday it was like i was auditioning for Rambo 167 or nightmare on elm street 146!! Probably the weather lol.

    Just glad i did log off last night it probably saved me a fortune! i didn't even chat at the table which is very unlike me too. So i do apologise for being rude to those that were at my table, acebarry, Badboy, scotty .... well not scotty as he was probably playing like a gazillion tables at the same time lol. 

    Ray, if i could mate you know i would lol ;) but it's just not going to happen lol. Someone on here said that leaning through a window is classed as assault, well fair enough it may well be but, the mood i was in yesterday i didn't give a monkey's chuff to be quite honest. I think the way that guy was driving a 44 ton vehicle was disgraceful and i am glad i did what i did as he did back off after my little outburst and potentially saved mine an my pupil's life! Also you have to think of how the pupil is feeling when all they can see is a Lorry grill filling their rear view mirror.

    Benny, who is catherine McVie? sounds like something you dunk in tea mate ( am i missing out? ) not someone you would listen to lol. Still all in all a very valuable lesson learnt which i am sure will stand me in good stead! right off to work now teaching roundabouts mostly today and with a girl who is 2 weeks away from test!! Hope everyone has a good day an i'll catch ya on the flipside!!

    Well it was free......gud discipline logging off after though.

    On the subject of discipline, I know on sky u can block ur account if ur tilting for 24 hours or whatever, is it possible to block levels on ur account.

    e.g Put a block on my account to restrict me from playing tables above 25p/50p?

    Cheerz DOHH
