Profitably (just...), too. Pretty pleased with that. Or I was until QUICKFEET's post put my efforts into perspective. Anyway, I'm going to permit myself this. oioi Posted by Tikay10
Well done!
Do you have a plan of attack for next month? More NLHE DYM's? PLO8 DYM's? A mix? or crash the new PLO8 league?

In Response to Re: Can an old dog learn new tricks? : HOW MANY? Strewth alive. No, not in the least tempted to go down the cash route. I do enjoy PLO & PLO8 cash, but prefer to play it "live". Do you think the DYM traffic has been affected this month by Spinner Winner? Based on this month, I reckon I could make Prio every month if I so desired. (I don't). It's so easy to rack up points at NLH DYM's. I may have heard it wrong, but a little birdie told me that a bunch of reprobates plan an assault on Vegas this year - you, Batesy, Dog Bloke & Magic Timmy. Yikes, that'd be some team. I plan to be in Vegas on my own account for all of June, so we might just hook up. I have to say, one thing with this Prio thing & trying to re-learn NLH, the "senior" players have been very encouraging & supportive, good craic, too. Had some great bants with Magic Tim, (& Miss RaRa), Spanky, Reflex, Grumpy Bloke & many others. I have no interest in playing poker purely for money, it has to be fun, & those lads are top top blokes.* * Except Magic Timmy. Posted by Tikay10

A little side story for you today. This is a true story, by the bye, & some of you will have witnessed this happening recently on tables I am playing, including last night.
I have got myself a new little troll. I've had more trolls than enough down the years here, so it's cool, it does not bother me, though I apologise to my table companions for having to read the drivel. The best way to deal with trolls, in my experience, is to ignore them, NEVER EVER reply. "Don't feed the trolls" as the tired old cliché goes.
This is a most unusual one though - educated & articulate I'd say. Used to be a high volume - VERY high volume - player on Sky Poker, even got one of those lovely spinning gold stars from Sharky for "Count" a few years back. Barely plays here now, probably less than 10 games in 2017, 20 games in the last 6 months, & no games in the last 2 or 3 weeks.
You get the picture now, I hope. Not playing poker, but trolling me in the table chat boxes.
It happened last night (Sunday) on the NLH tables, and a week ago on a Saturday evening, also on the NLH tables. Prior to that, he used to appear on the PLO8 DYM Tables from time to time to troll generally, though mostly me.
Nothing nasty, just trolly stuff.
"Are you the real tikay? We know you cant multi table, so who is using your account?"
I've ALWAYS multi-tabled, usually 5 or 6, for at least 4 years. You know that, he knows that.
"Is that the real tikay?"
"Has someone hacked tikay's account? "
"Why won't you reply to my questions?"
Ha, good luck with that mate.
Now, bearing all that in mind, I have a question for you.
So here we have a player who used to play a LOT of poker here. Now, effectively none at all.
Seems reasonably articulate & bright.
So let's assume he has quit poker. Maybe gone busto, or just got tired of poker.
Could be playing on another site I guess, but then he'd not have time or inclination to troll here, would he?
And this recent trolling has taken place the last 2 weekends on, respectively, Saturday & Sunday evenings.
So here's my question.
If you had quit poker, or whatever, how far up your "I want to" list is trolling someone on the poker tables on Saturday & Sunday evenings?
I know some of us get bored easily, but he has internet access, & the internet is the gateway to a wondrous world of so many fascinating things.
We can spend a whole day - or days - just moving from Wikipedia page to Wikipidea page. It's endlessly fascinating.
Or read books. I have over 1,000 books, & I can't find enough time as I would like to read. Currently I manage about 90 minutes per day, which is not enough. I'm reading a fascinating book on the implosion of Lloyds Bank in the 2008/9 banking crisis, & next up I'm gonna read the story of Fred Goodwin & the RBS.
TV is good, too. Some of the nature docs on Eden & Nat Geo are breathtakingly good. I watch all the "Wild" series - Russia, Atlantic, Nordic, Mississippi, Scotland.
"The Eighties" is a fascinating doc, too, & there are countless others.
Some prefer "light entertainment", Ant & Dec, Mrs Brown's whatsits, or that dreadful Miranda woman. Not for me, but apparently very popular.
Or sport - Six Nations, F1, Premier League football, Moto GP etc.
And for youngsters, there are children's games such as Candy Crush, Mario the Plumber, Angry Birds, Pokemon, FIFA Manager etc. Even some grown ups like that sort of stuff.
So, bearing all that in mind.......
Given all that choice, you choose to spend weekends trolling boring old duffers playing lowball poker pretty badly but happily.
I believe Paw Patrol is popular with a fellow diary poster. It's pretty complex stuff by all accounts. PS congrats for getting ^^^ in the correct thread Posted by hhyftrftdr
Yes, nearly an epic faux-pas there.
Paw Patrol? Whooshed me there I'm afraid. Dogs, one assumes?
In Response to Re: Can an old dog learn new tricks? : oi oi I hope you are taking two nights break. How did you celebrate? Sticky bun? Posted by Donttelmum
No no, I just kept plodding on.

Sticky bun? Plural, please. Multi-plural in fact.
The big BIG pre-Vegas diet starts on Thursday. I was under 12-7 when I went to Vegas on May 29 last year. I'm currently 14-4. Ugh.
You & Team Degen all ready for Vegas? What date you going, where you staying?
I strongly recommend a visit to WalMart on West Charlston Bvld in Vegas. They sell cracking T-Shirts of assorted hues & pastel shades at knockdown prices. It's where I get my Vegas apparel, & there's no stronger recommendation than that.
The tale of my little troll gained momentum yesterday.
I ended my note with "don't you think that's fascinating question?" as to why someone would be so sad as to spend their weekends trolling some old duffer on the poker tables, & you flooded the diary with replies.
However, whilst playing last night, several others made me aware that he trolls them, too.

For now, though....

How very odd.
More news as & when it occurs.
Any news from Karen, aka MacacGirl1?
It's a little worrying that we have not heard further from her.
