I have bumped the PLO8 DYM hints/tips/strategy thread with the first of my hands from last night.
This was one where I thought I was doing the right thing but not totally sure.
I'll post a few more - some like this where I am not sure my line was right or wrong, some where I think I was wrong and some where I think I was right.
Better get some poker winnings sorted to take Mrs P to Hampton Court.
10k! I thought i was doing well with my 3k. glgl Played a few games over the last couple of days for practice in case i decide to play UKOPS. Really enjoyed it just one problem. I have lost all ability to multi-table hilo. One game and i know exactly where i am, 3 tables and i'm clicking buttons. it's amazing what practice, or the lack of it, can do to our abilities. Guess the same may well apply to chat. (PS can still multi table nlhe no problem, just the hilo where it all goes pear-shaped) Posted by GELDY
If it helps, you are still a proper pain to play against.
In Response to Re: Can an old dog learn new tricks? : Me? Me run 10k? Are you serious? No no, its Gill - her first ever "organised" run. Much excitement, I can tell you. I'm her Coach, oh yes, and I don't want her to be bothered about pace, or where she finishes - just competing makes her a winner for me. I've got her a little trophy already, it will a nice surprise for her, & it says "WINNER" on it. To me, just doing it makes her a winner. She had never jogged, or done any meaningful physical exercise, until 3 months ago. She does 6.6 miles in an hour & forty usually, but as long as she does her best, I'm not fussed if she finishes stone last. She has some gadget that records her data when she jogs, here's a recent example, this was Hampton Court to Kempton racecourse & back.

I was just perusing the Race to Punta Cana leagues and spotted this..... 21 TIKAY1 1294 £40 You are only about 15,500 behind the leaders for that seat. Crack on Posted by MAXALLY
LOL, was just about to post this myself. Gotta be up early to beat you Alan.
Ha, I never even knew I was in it. Is it "just" 21 places paid?
Not much I can do to accelerate though, I play most evenings, & every game that runs at £3.30 & above.
A pal of mine - dooobs - from another place came across last night & regged for the £11ers, usually it's just Eon & I who reg for those, but it made a difference last night, & we got 4 games @ £11, very rare for a midweek evening.
Pommy & AJ. Yes, I'll give it a whirl, but it can't be next Thursday (15th) as I won't be playing Thursday/Friday/Saturday next week, as I have company. Saturday is the 10k Richmond Run. Can't miss that. Posted by Tikay10
so do tell - a good time was had by one and all i hope.
(i managed another 3k jog last night, not far i know but it was along the river - so beautiful even at night, and good motivation to do it again)

It went wonderfully Geldy, & thank you for asking.
It was her first ever "organised" run, & I was determined to do what I could to help make it a memorable occasion, I got her a little engraved trophy & everything.
She finished the 10k, still full of running (gentle jogging, not running really), & was presented with a Medal, & a Certificate
Think there were 730 runners, & she finished 514th of about 530 finishers, but nearly 200 failed to complete the course. For her first ever "official" run, that's just great.
She managed 4 Personal Bests, too;
Fastest 10k
Longest ever run (jog)
Fastest ever 5k
Fastest ever mile
So, all in all, yeah, a great success, & she was chuffed to bits.
The atmosphere was wonderful, too - everyone wishing each other well, & encouraging each other.
Lovely.
If only poker pros took those lessons on board, & looked after newbies like that, eh?
I've been a bit remiss with updating my stats. Poker stats don't make interesting reading for anyone except the author, they just don't, but I do like to know where I am, so I'd best stick a few numbers up.
Prior to last week, I've just been ambling along slowly, 2 steps forward, one step back, but not masking much progress.
So 4 winning sessions from 4, which I'm quite pleased about, but the Holy Grail of 60% Win Rate was missed again, that lot comes to 58.27%. I can do OK @ 58%, yes, it's profitable, but 60% has always been the goal.
The overall profit was good, (just shy of £88) but this was helped by £40 from the Punta Cana thing, £5.59 in Rewards payment, & £1 from the Rewards Freeroll. So, net of those bonuses, it was about £42, which is OK for 4 nights I think.
Anyway, it goes in the book as £88, as effectively, ALL profit or losses emanate from the PLO8 DYM's, though it does distort the stats a bit I suppose.

I've replied to those.
Mostly, just run-bad really, though maybe we can fold facing the bet on K-6-6.

Fingers crossed we get a few tonight, too.
DUCK OR NO DUCK?
OK Spinky, but where would the Duck be?

Tuesday - P30, W16, L14
Wednesday - P36, W20, L16
Sunday - P30, W20, L10
