Well tonight is the final night. I must admit im very down about the week so far, I think iv played pretty well tbh, iv had a good few chats with Matt and he has come up with some good advise. Iv put his advise into practice a few times and its paid off so all good. But overall im running so bad! Its bad beat after bad beat. I haven't really got going and am the only person in the team who is in loss. Its very de-moralising, and as much as people say keep at it, dont worry keep getting it in ahead it still hurts (im sure you have all been there). I am going to play more cash tonight and hopefully then if I do get the bad beats, I can just reload and win it back. In terms of compulsary games left to play, obviously I have the open, I have 2 Sit N Go's to get through which I will try and get done 1st thing and 30 minutes of cash, which I will do far more than that tonight. I want to say a thankyou to the_gibb, Phil and Grimstar who have all wished me luck through the bad beats and told me to keep my chin up. 1 last effort to blitz the tables and hopefully get into contention. If I can finish in profit overall then ill be hapy, but the more the better. Posted by FlashFlush
Charles!
If you were next to me, I'd slap you round the chops!
It rained yesterday, too. Too bad - we can't change it now.
Sure, it's been tough, but looking back won't solve anything. Look forward, & forget yesterday.
Naomi had a rough ride on Monday, but she fought back yesterday, & finished on a high.
Part of MY Total Player would be strength of character in adversity, hanging in there when it's all a bit uphill, into the wind, with the rain in your face.
You can turn it round. I know you can, we know you can, you know you can. Now do it.
I have to be impartial, but you have been here for ever, & you have a huge bunch of followers all wanting you to do well. Don't disappoint them, show them - & Matt - what you are made of.
And think how proud your 17 kids will be if - when? - you turn this round.

Dont get me wrong im not giving up. NO NO NO... I never give up, you've played me enough times in the deepstack to know i never give up. When those tables load up tonight ill only be playing that game not last nights games but at the moment all I have is last nights memories. I am going into it with a nothing to lose. Nothing to lose BR wise (although I have treated this bankroll like my own personal one) and nothing to lose in terms of getting into Phase 2/3... This prize is too good to give up, its a once in a lifetime chance for me. Hope ill be posting all positive things by 11pm tonight.
The spirit of Total Player is still here, I am competing with James and Naomi and they are still spurring me on wishing everyone good luck. This is how it should be. Great stuff

I thought I had got away with this joke ffs lol. It was on facebook earlier too.. I'm so gulubble!
Just want to make another quick comment before the night starts....
I think my thread earlier may of been taken in the wrong way. I just want to say IM NOT GIVING UP AT ALL!!! If anything its spurring me on more to do well tonight (If thats at all possible) This is a once in a lifetime opportunity for me and the last thing I want Matt or Tikay to be thinking is when the going gets tough I crumble....
All I meant was I was a bit down as I didn't feel I had played badly, (possibly could of played a bit different in certain situations) yet I was still in negative figure, on another day I could be well into profit, but hey ho thats poker and iv been playing this stupid game for long enough to realise that ;-)
When I win the 8pm tonight along with turning my cash tables into 5x my buyins I cant be dropped ;-)

I and no1 else Im sure wud have u down as a quitter, or having given up. Just coz ur balance is lowest, u cud be first on Matt's list for performance/skill level. Who knows?
The point I wanna get accross, and which loadza people may miss, is, especially for the non-poker pros in this comp, that the emphasis should be on grabbing the amazing opportunity given to u, the chance to play, FOR FREE, with constant 1 on 1 coaching,mentoring and have ur play analysed.
Just want u to enjoy urself mate, and the others.
I know when I play, its all gonna be about enjoyment, thats why Ive turned down the interviews and other stuff offered to me, I want to play poker, and play it well, and enjoy playing it. I hope you do the same tonight, I was by no means suggesting you had given up, that isnt how your post came across to me!.

Have not been playing much this week as snowed under with work, but really enjoying the comp part of playing. dont think i am going to mass multi table tonight, espec with the tourney on as i would like to do well in it! This group has shown how strong it is, and I have really enjoy having a few extra tables open watching how other people have done.
Really well done so far to James and Naomi! shows how class they r with their tourney results!
As for u charles, hope it goes better tonight, just play ur game and fingers crossed u run better tonight!
Good Luck Team Swindon!! As James said Charles, remember its not about how much money u make. Its about how well u play. As long as u think your playing well, u will have a great chance!!
