    TK. D'uh. Get Wiv the programme!
    It's the four PLO8 tournaments starting from 1950 to 2120
    Best results from any 2 from 4 count towards the league thingy.

    Not that you will play anyway, as you're scared of being bullied by myself and Amerie.

    There is another very accomplished Girlie amongst our ranks now, "SUPERNOVA", aka "Sharon", a friend of mine from way back.
     
    She worked hard at her game with Neil C on BBP, & got herself a Black Belt or somesuch, & I assume she has reactivated on Sky Poker since Neil joined us.

    Nice lady, but I ain't scared by any girlies, except when they ogle me.

    Won just shy of £11 last night, so not too bad, but finished very badly, lost 3 of the last 4, & still ended up winning 10 of the last 15, so that was a bit of a fail. Battered the £3ers 8-1, lost by the odd one @ £5, & having established a 3-0 position @ £11, then lost the last two, yikes.   Need to sort these £5er ones out, am not doing as well in those as I should. Amazing traffic for a Tuesday - played 15 @ £5.50 & £5 @ £11, which is unheard of really for a Champions League Tuesday, so I knocked up the 150 Reward Points in doiuble quick time. Fun night, just a bit of a Billy Let-Down to end the session so badly, I was heading for a £40+ night.   Thankfully, have recovered all of those huge losses I incurred on two bad sessions last week.   Hope to see some of you guys later tonight.

    a problem with knowing the days of the week.

    I guess spending Tues evening getting down with the kids with his x-factor & celebrity nonsense on Tuesday evening's show was so embarrassing to him looking back on it that he decided it didn't happen and re-lived Tuesday again last night.

    and yes, just like the 1-day cricket these days, the champions league matches are held on two days.

    Haha, i did notice your numerous flirts t'other night with SUPERNOVA its nice to have another lady at the tables. However i must clarify that none of us (I repeat) NONE of us will have ever ogled you, i do admit to once googling you, but it was only once, honest m'lud.

    An interesting fact for you (seeing as you mentioned black belts,) my brother is a black belt 6th dan and currently UK Champion, he has previously been European Champion and has fought on the UK team all over the world, he has now retired but he is happy to come out of retirement if you continue to try and steal my bb!!!

    Slight clarification needed on those numbers.

    I actually LOST around £20 on my DYM's last night, mainly due to a bad batch of £11ers.
     
    But I won £40 odd quid playing 2 MTT's, so the numbers show a profit, even though I lost at the DYM's.
     
    I use my opening & closing balance as the final arbiter on numbers, so there can be no jiggery pokery, but clearly, that is a bit misleading, & it will flatter my DYM results. Not a big deal in the greater scheme of things, but thought I'd better fess up.

    Anyway, I wanted to support the new PLO8 MTT night that Brian & Dave organised, so I played 2 of them. It totally phased my head, as we play DYM's very different to MTT's, & I was not terribly comfortable with mixing the two.

    Not a terrible night at the DYM's, but some standatd outdraws in the £11ers knocked the numbers badly, as I lost 3 from 4. Otherwise, OK, & the £3ers are going along better now. Just as well. Overall though, all the win %'s are below target, but the £11ers are keeping me afloat. Need to do a lot better though.
     
    In the 2 MTT's, I bust out of the first within 2 orbits I think, in one hand, the only hand I played.

    Chap had been potting it pre every hand, so I devised my strategy - wait for a monster, & go to war with him. I found nice combo aces, he found a nice combo hand (A-Q-5-3 I think), we got it all-in pre, but he hit paired fives on the board & busted me. Ouchio. Maybe I could have waited a while before going to war, maybe it was the right move to get me a stack, I'm not really sure. If it weas a big buy-in event, I fancy I'd have proceeded more cautiously. Anyway, I was first out, marv. I prefer my play to his in Level One, but he did nothing wrong either, & if the cards were face-up pre, I'd still have gone to war.
     
    In the other one, I ran golden throughout, & eventually took it down. I doubled up early, (same move really), then decided to pace myself, nice & steady, before really going through the aggro gears late on. I barely recall losing a single hand all Tourney, & probably got lucky several times, including the last hand when, of all things, I woke up with good aces to beat my old mate Frank Cormach, with Vespa Mick an unlucky third.
     
    So, some run bad, some run good, those swings & swongs are what poker is about.
     
    Ger took a real eye-watering beat to exit, flopping the stone cold nuts with a heart flush, but being runner-runnered perfect perfect to depart.
     
    Never saw much of Macacgirl, except late on, when she arrived in the chatbox to deliberately irritate me. She also stated "I'll burn my laptop, i-Pad & i-Phone of tikay wins this".
     
    So I did.

    Over to Macac.

    Just a quickie given that you won the FOSP extra game (VWP BTW) have you winnings shown up on your account?

    I min cashed in that one but cannot any reference to it in my account.


    ps Macacgirl, glad to see Rich has been on the sunbed and got some colour back...;-)

    Yes, I never actually checked "My Account", not even sure I'd know where to look or how to check, but I know the money was insta-credited by the total balance.

    Very odd that yours never appeared. As far as Sky Poker are concerned, it is just a regular Tourney, & your winnings should have ben auto-credited to you.

    I'd check again to make sure you have not missed it, & then ring CC & see what they say.

    I checked the actual money transactions page and there it was, I also figured out why I never saw it on the evenings results, I had pre-regged a few days earlier so it was on that date the tourney showed up......serves me right for actually being organised for once ;-)))

    Cheers, awesome costume and moves BTW :-))

    Just a short, unscheduled session on Friday, & did not play yesterday.

    Made a fiver, so can't complain, but I just can't seem to get a run going in the £5.50ers & the month's returns are sub-par. Luckily, the £3ers are going a lot better now. It's really quite hard to get all three chiming at the same time.

    I start a run of playing 10 of the next 11 nights tonight, so I need to get my act together & play a bit better if the month is to be profitable. At present I have just £20 profit, & I expect to make £45 in Reward Points, so I have a bit of a cushion, but £100 overall profit in December has to be the minimum target.
     
    Undecided whether to play tonight's FSOP Hi-Lo. It really messed with my focus playing MTT's & DYM's together on Thursday, but I did enjoy the MTT's, & it gave me a nice profit, which I really was in need of.
     
    Decisions, decisions. 

    Have a lovely Sunday.
