    yo spike my m8s mum seems to be similiar to yours... he wins at poker but she disapproves because she thinks its just luck and he will end up losing it all. People that dont play poker dont understand how much skill it is and that it is not just gambling... maybe try explaining it to her? For example why do the same players always win etc... good luck with it dude.

    IGet back in and just play Richard Orford heads up you will soon be back!!!n Response to Leaving Poker:
    I am sorry to tell everyone who has got to know me and have helped me improve my game that I am leaving poker. I have total support from some and just moans off others its just the moans are off my mum cause I am having a bad week, which I know is just part of poker, I felt I weren't playing wrong or badly but, from someone who doesnt know how to play is telling me its only my fault i am losing so frankly i dont have much choice but to leave. I have enjoyed every moment playing poker and playing on sky and I am going to miss the experience the fun and the people I just wish everyone the best for the future. Spike2120

    lol if anyone has a problem with a post i make then just tell me, rather than using terms like 'one exception'.

    but yeah srs advice about the poker spike...don't play satellites, don't play MTTs.  if you wanna build a roll, which is crucial to poker as once you hvae a roll then losing a BI doesn't matter, then stick to Double your Money SnGs or cash games.

    If you want to build a roll avoid DYM like the plague, just get on a 2/4p cash table and play tight, raise big hands etc and you'll be good.

    yeah it wasnt yours scotty I aint mentioning names and this is an exception MTT other than perhaps a bounty hunter and my bankroll isnt that low tbf its just taken a little knock due to 'speculative' calls which normally u want but it seems every one of them lately against me hit on the river lol but nevermind it will play out in the end just gotta play this spell out, away from cash as its what costs the most when your on a bad run lol.

    As for this MTT its just my little release from cash for a night and a cheap little game as it was only a pound lol just so I can have a relaxation tonight before thinking about raising my bankroll a bit more perhaps tomorrow perhaps not even til sunday or monday.

    Oh as for your post again it made me laugh lol it was a lighter touch on a what can was a more darker discussion lol

    In your case Ryan, don't worry, I will, you know that!

    To clarify - it was not yours.

    Don't worry benny it turned into a nothing post in the end lol as it was me leaving but ended up staying lol so no worries lol one of them things where heat of moment said to do one thing then after discussion and deliberation and clear thinking another option approached itself lol.

    And after that much whiskey I doubt many of us would care lol although I am a proven lightweight these days, practically stopped drinking like 8/9 months ago and now I can't handle it at all, never been a real drinker anyways lol.

    Thats hardly starting "dude"
    I highlighted your post that i thought was harsh on your part imo
    Is there anyone in the forum that you don't want to have an argument with? (apart from Deadluck)

    Actually with my one exception it was not pointing at you blackfish, like I said I still aint naming names lol but it is obvious just read through and I will give you all a clue, which perhaps aint too nice but its still not name calling

    its in big writing and only about 6 words long ends with ........ if i remember rightly lol but didn't take much notice lol as for yours though blackfish I don't know why everyone is pointing yours out it was just a saying not so much an insulting post and as it turned out was only sarcasm, which I must say I didn't notice first time round but I didn't see it as insulting or the 'one exception' at all.

    anyways been nice to catch up on the forums today might still be on for a little bit yet anyone wants to chat well I will keep checking this or just pm me lol

    spike you seem like a really nice guy... sorry to get involved in an argument on your thread... just dont understand why someone randomly insults me lol. I think you should try and explain to your mum how much skill is involved but also just play tiny stakes and say to her if you are losing its just paying for entertainment.
    all the best buddy x
