Perfect Saturday, not so much a 6am start on Sunday.
Better an early start than a late finish though, I've had 4 Midnight finishes this week, & I'm wrecked.

Thanks EVER, yeah, no moaning makes such a nice change. Folks do like a chunter.
In Response to Re: The weekend is here - enjoy! : Not had any bets on this weekend's race, no, I find F1 very hard to be profitable on, except for occasional "Safety Car - Yes/No" coups. I am on Vettel for the Drivers Championship at 8/5 though, placed last November, for a small sum. Think he is 1/33 now. Ooohhhh. I saved on Hamilton, too, so looking pretty good right now, fingers crossed. Good luck with the Vettel Hat Trick! Posted by Tikay10
I think you're cruising to victory with that one - best of luck! Gonna take a serious bad-beat for any other outcome I'd say. Alonso & co are going to need runner runner runner runner runner runner!
In Response to Re: The weekend is here - enjoy! : Hope to see you later then, I'll be back on this evening. Well done on that call with the bad flush, to chop the pot, we both booked a profit as we were three way to the turn. I LOVE 3 Way Pots in PLO8! I had the nut low ( unbreakable) & a bad High, so I am ALWAYS going to pile the pressure on there, as I can nick the lot if your hand cant stand a raise. Good call. I ran incredibly good & made 3 Buy-Ins, aided in great part by one monsta pot where I got a bit lucky, especially as one player was trying to win one end only so we were both freerolling him. Maybe see you later, & I'll doubtless lose today's profit! Posted by Tikay10
I think I played the hand pretty poorly as there was a good chance of the better flush being out there and I didn't have much of a low. I was playing a bit too loose as I only had a few minutes (honestly). Getting stacked, no stacking myself, with AA3x a few hands ealier didn't help. Why do my AA2x and AA3x hands always run into QQxx on a Q high flop or KKxx on a K high flop? I couldn't even save half with the low draw!
Still it was fun while it lasted, hopefully more Omaha H/L will get played on Sky, it is my biggest leak as I am addicted to it but not very good at it!
Just realised that my last post contains a bit that may be construed as a moan. It was not meant to be one and I profusely apologise for possibly tainting this 'moan free' thread.
I will now go and stand on the naughty step until forgiven.
In Response to Re: The weekend is here - enjoy! : I am left-handed but there's no way I could do that! Get well soon. Posted by NoseyBonk
Thanks for the good wishes. Trust me using the mouse left handed is nothing like as challenging as trying to play tennis left handed (for a right hander). I'm a bit a tennis nut which has so far resulted in knee, wrist, and shoulder surgery (twice), still at least it keeps me fit!!
So, did anyone tip the winner of the Ayr Gold Cup?
I saw a pretty dreadful match to be honest (Roche 1-0 Edgcumbe) but got some photos of the ground and put up them up at http://www.fchd.info/grounds/roche.htm - Tikay, you will love the dugouts, they're made out of concrete breeze blocks.

I think you are being harsh on yourself. Yes, a bigger flush COULD be out, but we were short-handed, & this is the WHOLE THING with PLO8, the Villain (me in this case) MIGHT be applying pressure because he has the other end locked up. In these cases, yes, a fold is better UNLESS you have a shot at both ends. The guy who gets the last big bet in is at a huge advantage, as the other player should not call if he has one end only - he's putting his own money in to get the same amount back, so he is on a loseroll. This is why Position is so important in PLO8.
The "IM" or "Skype" world must have been busy when word got out that I was sat there with a stack, as all sorts suddenly arrived, including EvilPingu (smashing lad), Hoggers & Dohhhh. As luck would have it, I escaped relatively unscathed.
I played Heads Up v a player, "8MINTED8" for a good hour, & we had a cracking session. Not a word was typed in the chat box until I typed "gotta go now bud, thanks for a great game", & he came on & said that he had really enjoyed the session & thanked me. We had just pushed the money back & forth for the most part, both of us have a reasonable technical understanding of PLO8, & he marginally finished to the good I think.
I'll be on & off the PLO8 Tables again today if you fancy a game again.
Im off to see the Ukulele Orchestra of Great Britain in Buxton tomorrow with Sky player Moon_River Seen them before, its going to be a great night Hope your weekend is good Tikay Cheers Posted by MacMonster
Incredible!
I'm sure there would be some sniggers when you say you are going to see The Ukelele Orchestra of Great Britain, but I think that's just wonderful.
The diversity of hobbies & recreations is such a lovely thing. We are all different.
That Ukelele Orchestra even has its own Wiki Page - look.....

Ouch! How on earth did you miss all those outs?!
Fair to say I got "a bit" lucky there.
On the face of it, a shocking play by me, but.......you do open a LOT of Pots, & almost always c-bet. You can't always have it, so I thought it was time to play back at you, & I did have a little bit of equity with which to do it. MUCH less than I thought, though.
It's only loaned, you'll get it back today. I'll be honest, I really don't like playing you, you are too good, & that's the truth. I saw you had a stack on several Tables last night, so I guess you ended up ahead on the day.

You reckon Stoke have any chance today against Wenger's Wonders, Stokey?
