    Marv Mr Scaffold, Macac will be loving this.

    In truth, again, unless there are peculiar stack dynamics, I am rarely folding any A-K-2-x combo in the mid-to late stages. 

    Maybe that's where I'm going wrong, lol, but we don't always walk into the Aces, & we are never dead even if we do.
     
    Am beginning to see why I did the lot last night.....

    No no Churchy, I never said that, I typed... NH Churchy, my bad, I should have folded! It was ME who said I should have folded, not you. You can't fold that, as played. I then added..... "It was prob a bad play by me, but then again, I never quite know what you are going to turn up with, so that is my excuse!"   I mentioned the same thing earlier today, some people New (Geldy, too, these days, & all of Team Aggro) have quite eclectic hand ranges, but sometimes they DO have the nutso things.

    No worries Churchy.

    The day I start making arsey comments in the Chat box is the day I give up the game!

    I do often give Macac an earful, but to be fair, she deserves it. She even has a t-shirt with this on it.

    I even spite fold sometimes.

    Not loving it at all, winning or losing, whether it's myself or anyone else, bothers me zilchio to be honest!
    I only comment on things like that to give the odd word of encouragement/chin up type thing if someone running bad, or a well done comment if someone is running good.  Stakes I play, nobody is gonna go homeless playing them if they lose, or pay for a yacht if winning, so (for me) it's the fun that matters, results mean nowt.

    Unless it's TK of course, in which case if he's winning, it's pure jammyluckyluckbox.com and if he's losing, it's because he deserves it.  And. The sooner everyone starts reminding him of that, the better.

    That was going SO well until the last few lines, I honestly thought you were going to be nice to me for once.

    Be afraid tonight. I say, BE AFRAID.

    I have an idea.
    To help you focus and regroup.
    From until we next meet at the tables, until one hundred games are up, I will keep track of results.
    You win (1 point), I win (1 point), we both win (1 point each).
    All for eternal bragging rights and constant reminders.
    Think you up to it?

    Or, are you...

    Excellent!
    I'll keep track and update results here each day until the final 100th game is up.
    I must add that if you attain a (by fluke obviously) huge unbeatable lead, I will go on holiday and call the challenge a draw.

    Oh indeed I could smell the money. In truth I was unlucky then rash then downright stupid.
    I had played pretty well, made some laydowns and some profitable bluffs and sat on 38k about 40th with 60 left.
    I had jacks in small blind he had 88 in big blind. 32k pot he rivers a flush. down to 22k at about 12.30am tried to semi bluff with a pair of sevens lost to pair of jacks. then with 10k left and 55 out of 55 I went all in q6 off lost..... that was stupid should have grinded a little longer but blinds were going up and I had to get up for work in five hours.
    played on same table with our fellow plopper, he was solid and may I add my congratulations to him.
    I love the roller but must get better at satts as I do not want to buy in like I used to.
    Really enjoyed it

    Ok, so we have had round 1 of the 100 game challenge.
    As a forfeit, if Mr. K wins after 100 games, I promise wholeheartedly to never mention food or twiglets ever again in the chat-box.
    Mr. K has said (in front of witnesses I hasten to add) he will wear a tee shirt on TV, with the logo "I Love Macacgirl" whilst eating a packet of twiglets.

    So.
    Round 1.
    We met in 8 DYMs.
    Current score.
    Team Concrete - 3
    Team Twiglet - 7

    Long way to go, I got incredibly lucky against TK in one and even more incredibly daft lucky against Gelders in another.
    My prediction... this will end after 100 games, as narrow as 1-5 points either way.

    ps. Please ask TK a billion times in the chat-box about the challenge, he loves chatting, especially when he is multi-tabling 6-7 tables at once :)

    vwp winshoes & pompeynic, & ul Nick

    guess the moral of the story is that ploppers can play holdem too
    if not vice-versa
    last night for me was just meant to be a few dyms, early BHs and an early night
    but semi-ed into the Main and the rest is history, as they say!

    hope your night was good as well Teeks

    Sorry i've not played any plo8 dym,s recently. I had one of my blackouts last week and unfortunately it was in the middle of the road. Luckily the lady stopped, helped to drag me off the road and phoned me an ambulance. I,m never going to give women drivers grief ever again.May play later on if the medication wears off. This indian summer doesn,t help. Oh God I've got to stop moaning...
