I do not know if the Russian roulette games count towards VLV, something in the back of my brain tells me that they didn't last year. I could be wrong though, maybe Tikay could clarify.
Hi Marky, Good luck with the VLV attempt. I do not know if the Russian roulette games count towards VLV, something in the back of my brain tells me that they didn't last year. I could be wrong though, maybe Tikay could clarify. Posted by 67Bhoys
Morning Craig,
I can confirm that Russian Roulettes DO count towards the Viva Las Vegas SNG League.
Thanks for the kind words! @Tikay Replied to your PM. Nice to have such a big thread covering OH8 and look forward to some good discussion over hand strategy. I have been around online and poker and OH8 since 2006/07 but usually go by the name Marky_Crash or MarkyCrash. I would have played here much sooner but didn't realise there was such a good OH8 community here. I am sure my ROI will drop a little, have definately run favourably over my initial games here and my ROI will take a big hit from Monday as I am going to give the VLV leaderboard a go and will be playing so many games (NLHE turbos and possibly russian roulette games included) that it will be impossible to maintain any kind of decent ROI over that period. Look forward to playing you all! GL @ the tables Marky Posted by markycash
Morning Marky,
Good to have you in the thread, & onboard with Sky Poker. Pretty sure you have plenty of O8 mates & acquaintances who you can tease across to Sky Poker, as you say, we have relatively decent liqiidity here, but it'd be great to increase it. Not until you have won that VLV League, though, eh?.
I checked when launched and Russian Roulette count. Don't agree that they should mind. Still it appears to be the right day to try and get rule changes through. Posted by Phantom66
Yeah I was going to post and clarify that Russian Roulette and HU SNG's count but reading the T&C's I couldn't see any exclusions and decided to take Sky's word at face value that 'ALL' SNG's count.
Started with a very small roll on here last week as I havn't been playing regularly due to work/uni commitments for a while so what I can play will be determined to an extent but how good a start I get off to.

I had a good night last night, won all three @ £11, & made a nice profit overall with a 67% win rate. I note you were absent last night. Feel free to be AWOL again tonight, OK?
Dropped you an email Tony. Hope all is going well with you and your lot. Posted by Lambert180
Thanks Paul, & yes, "my lot" (assuming you mean Sky Poker) are fine & dandy ty.
I have not received that e-Mail, probably because the addy you have is now no longer active. After the takeover, a new e-mail portal was introduced & we all have a new addy now. There was a "forwarding" service in place, but it expired yesterday, so e-Mails to the old addy won't reach me.
I couldnt sleep last night kept thinking about some guy rivering a 4. That button should be disabled. Glad ur running better. Maybe have a game later. Posted by stuarty117
Oh my Stu, that was so horrible, & I felt pretty bad about it, as you reeled me in a treat & then fate intervened in the form of a genuine 1 outer on the river.
(I had an underhouse, 4's full, whilst Stu had a the nut overhouse with Kings full. Cue the rivered 4 for quads).

Talk about bad timing from me!
Yeah I had the old extension at the end, re-sent to the right place now.

Yes, it was rather odd, almost perfectly imperfect. I would have been forwarded it yesterday, today, it simply disappeared somewhere.
It's all part of what The Business calls "Transition", from the old regime to the new set up. There was an extraordinary "to do" list when SB&G tethered it's apron strings from Big Sky, hundreds of them, & so the last year has been a full time task to complete transition. Much of the data processing, accounting & HR functions (& many others) were "centrally" managed by Big Sky, so all had to be set up afresh.
Anyway, I have now received & replied to your e-Mail, & I have also actioned it.
Next case, as you were, stand by your beds, da de da.

Nice one on the £11's!
Yeah I am having to get some things in order so I can free time up for the new VLV leaderboard.
I will probably be a brief visitor tonight, have a massive essay to write on 'modernisation' before Sunday is out... Been putting it off but I will have to bite the bullet and actually get it done sadly.
I don't know how I used to find the time to grind at the tables all day, most days.
Hopefully get a few games at least later!
Thought I was going to sneak the £5.75 bounty hunter to start the weekend well but couldnt dodge the hearts here for the chiplead with 4 left...
Just a quick explanation on the PM's I receive. They all get a reply, every one, but I have a little system for my work.
I keep an A5 Notebook, & every little task gets written in it, under separate days. There's usually 25 or 30 per day, & I jot them down as I go along.
First job each morning is to update that notebook, & carry forward each item that is not ticked.
Then I clear my PM's from the previous day, here & elsewhere.
Next, I address any Forum questions that have arisen overnight, such as Rose's question this morning. That often involves sending an e-Mail to the office, then later, getting the reply, acknowledging it, & then posting it on the Forum. So there's quite a bit of work to every question, no matter how trivial the q may seem.
Next up is to write any articles I need to do, & spam them, here, elsewhere, & on Twitter, prepare stuff for Meetings. I never go to a Meeting unless I am fully prepared, with bullet points & the like, then after every Meeting, I send another set of notes up.
It's a great system, & I'm a creature of habit, so it works for me, I need to be organised.
Having said that, this week I was scheduled to be on two telecon meetings, & managed to completely forget them both. That went down well.....
Think I need to include Telecon reminders in my little system.

Brutal stuff.

Note for Karan, aka Macacgirl.
Hi Karen,
I know that when you are really bored in your holiday home you sometimes pop onto this thread, so I wanted you to be aware of this, HERE
It's all so sad, & many of the PLO8 community were shocked to hear about it yesterday.
