    Had a shocker, a right shocker!

    My Lappie failed mid-session, whilst I was playing 4 DYM's, & I'd pre-regged for 3 others. I eventually got back on, but I'd incurred a bit of serious damage by then.

    Could have been a lot worse, too, as I won the last three I playerd for a £25 dent in the losses. Yikes.

    Lost £2.20 in the afternoon £2.20 @ 2.20, too, though it was well worth it for the banter.

    Anyway, nobody wants to read moans & groans, suffice to say the wheels came off a bit.
     
    Had some fun with a keyboard warrior, though, who mocked EVERY player on the table, if he won a hand "lol @ the bad call you fish", & when he lost "lol, you are so lucky".
     
    He had over 5,000 chips (there are only 12k in play!) with 6 players left, but he somehow managed to bust out first. I was plum last with 900 chips, but I got lucky with nice cards, he never folded any hand, & he doubled me up twice, & then exited to me when I found really good two way Aces & they held.
     
    At which point, he chased me around on my other Tables (he was out by now, of course....) he called me something I've never been called before, definitely original. I've been called a few things, lol, but I loved the originality.
     
    U r  a putz, tekayy, a rite putz

    Putz! Love it.

    Sort it out, putz.
     
    Big session planned today, want to get as near to 4,000 Reward Points (£60) as possible. Hopefully, not lose as much as I did yesterday, too......

    Best regards,

    putz

    putz
    a stupid, ignorant person; someone who doesn't pay attention to anything going on; one who makes stupid remarks


    Just so you know what it is :) (I wasnt the abuser)

    Ha, thanks Julie. He summed me up perfectly, eh?

    I knew what it meant, but it's not a word I'd seen before on an online poker site, ever. Love a bit of originality. Quite flattered, actually, much more classy than "donk", fish", idiot" & the like.

    No no no!

    When Julie posted previously about the J word, that was spelt differently to my version. We must differentiate between "jobby" & "jobbie". Very different things. Oh yes.

    i had to look it up too - never heard that word in my life!

    lol @ him (or her) following you around to abuse you. funny stuff. are you ever tempted to provoke them one they start abusing TK? I have to say, I do enjoy doing it occasionally when I have been abused in the past after getting lucky and hitting a draw or something...

    something along the lines of

    abuser: "your such a lucky ****"
    abuser: "**** you, how can you shove there"
    abuser: "such a fish"

    me: "completely out skilled you mate" (obv it was all luck, but he doesn't need to know I know that)

    abuser: some other rant about how rubbish you are



    probably shouldnt do it, but I find it entertaining + quite often they will end up dpewing their stack to me. oh well. hehe.

    I'm tempted, yes, it's only natural, but in my position, it would be fatal (job-wise), I'd be reported in a shot, & I've learned to just bite my tongue, turn the other cheek, & say nothing. I get a ton of it on Social-Media, & I make a rule NEVER to respond. I get a lot of lovely warm comments, too, a great deal more than I deserve, so like everything, it cuts both ways.
     
    I must say, the warmth & friendliness on the PLO8 Tables is extraordinary. The fact I've mentioned only two or three examples of keyboard warriors in over 500 games this month proves the case.

    How did you get on last night? The games ware quite tough, I thought, though, of course, I ran pretty good most of the evening.

    Ha, good man!

    In PLO8, we can Blind down very kow, 3 Blinds is OK in these, it really is, though I can see the NLH Big Boys rolling their eyes, but it's fine.

    What is not fine, but we see every game, is limping in with 3 or 4 Bigs, which is absolutely NOT fine. Thry often fold to a bet, too. In some cases, of course, they do call the bet, but it begs the question, if you plan to call a bet, why not just pot it in the first place? Potting it gives us TWO ways to win, because more often than not, everyone folds. That means their stack increases by 50% without even seeing a flop. How good is that?

    Anyway, glad you've joined the growing band of PLO8-ers. 

    I'm pretty sure that regular PLO8 players are all a bit odd, like wicketkeepers in cricket, or goalkeepers in Football.

    Ahh, that'll be Rocky Creek, who I tipped in my Weekly UKPC Update!

    Bit disapointed we only got 2nd, he looked like he'd come to win his race 2 out, but he was run out of it by a better horse in the end. Still, 8/1, quarter odds, is not so bad.

    Will try & go one better this week. ;)
