Well in shock news Paul Lambert finally enjoys some run-good and binks a win!
Blackburn had 4 shots in the first half, all in the space of 2 seconds. PNE had by far the best of the game up until Blackburn got the ball into the box from a set piece and then 1 post 1 great save and 2 goal line clearances later it finally goes in off the back of our keeper.
2nd half started ok then a bit of pace on the break and a player goes down running along the edge of the 18 yard box and it's a penalty and 2-0.
Nice to see Garner get off the mark, hopefully first of many. It's was pretty much all PNE with Blackburn having 11 men behind the ball and a cracking atmosphere under the lights on a cold crisp November afternoon. Clear 2 handed shove in the back of Adam Reach pen not given though and Blackburn hold for the win.
Did a mega update on phone this morning and lost it before posting.
So here is the shorter version...
Chatsworth house Christmas market was good, a lot of stalls with variety. House and grounds look spectacular so we plan to go back in the spring/summer for a proper looksee.
Watched SPECTRE with Mrs P - enjoyed it - no spoilers.
Burnley 0 - PNE 2 happy days
Not playing a lot but will complete the macacgirl plo8 challenge and my HUFA game.
Probably would not have hit 50 points this week but for the points boost on cash tonight and a go on the spinups, came out up too.
Bankroll since last update has been above 50 below 40 and now 53.81.
Terrible weather. Sons uni even shut a week early due to power cut. He isn't complaining due to the extensions to coursework. Easy enough for him to get home, not so much the overseas students or any from Scotland as the trains are not running.
Busy week coming up - including a day in Swindon on Wednesday so probably won't be on the tables much.
Elder son back in just over a week so it will be a Phantom Full House - don't see many of those lately and when I do it's typically an underhouse. IE it will cost me a lot of money!
In my haste to complete an update last night, I had forgotten the main point of the earlier post that didn't get loaded.
There was something in the news that scientists had proved there is no difference between the male and female brains. Well maybe not in size or materials, but in function then there has to be right?
Yesterday morning I was woken up by the sound of our dog barking. In a flash of brilliant insight I am thinking I suppose I had better get up and let the dog out. My wife turns to me and says do you remember when sam was born and you bought me flowers from such and such florists. I mumble something in the affirmative - but it was nearly 22 years ago, Of course I would have bought her flowers - but where from? Didn't have a Scooby.
I focus at the job in hand and get up and let the dog out, bladder emptied and no mess on the kitchen floor - job done. The dog was ok too.
I can't help feeling though that I am missing something Mrs P is hinting at, and I got whooshed.

Nudged back below the 60 mark, thanks to an attempt on the spinups. Thought I'd give it a whirl as with x2/3/4 points a good run would have been both a bankroll boost and a quick 50pts for the iphone FR. Not to be, got out with limited damage at £5.77 and about 25 points which would get me a ukpc fr seat if only I wasn't going to be on the m62 around then.
Started with the notion that I might be able to sneak into the top 100 SNG points earners.
Work and the M62 stopped that though.
The poker gods were telling me not to bother. In my adjusted dym games I try not to take risks in the first few levels, although if I get dealt AA and someone raises ahead of me in a turbo the chips are going in. Exactly that happened and I lost to 22 and 99, flopped sets, rivered flush and str8.
Tiksy probably wont believe I ran bad today, although I think pretty much all my run good was saved when defending my BB as the s/stack on a PLO8 dym bubble v Tikay in one game.
Ended the day very marginally in profit and just back over £60.
50 or 55 points depending on how midnight decides points tallied (regged and started before or finished before) will definitely not be enough. Either way I suspect a couple of hundred short.
given the promotion was on though it did mean there were plenty of games running and enjoyed a bit of chat on the PLO8 tables.
Heard hendo won an iphone WP sir and RLT was running well in the main.
Finished the evening with AA < QJs. I think I did actually win with them once though.
Totally lost track of PLO8 results so will try and dig those out tomorrow.
Busy day tomorrow and then driving back across the M62 and then picking my son up from the airport on Wednesday morning.
Edit:Already qualified for Tuesdays promotion and made a profit for the day

Hey Mark,
Thanks, I got a nice bit of run good at the right time, another sometime hi loller bbmike also mananged to manfully nurse a micro stack over the line, nice Xmas bonus.
In Response to Re: New Rewards - New Challenge (back to very basics) : Lol, it is a tricky one, H/J I am never sure whether I am N/J/H Posted by HENDRIK62
I was practically living on the M62 at that time while my wife was in hospital in Leeds, initially for 3 months and then on and off back in and then as an outpatient for another 3 months or so.
I set myself a little 100 game SnG challenge - I think it was that little diary that got me my seat at the "top of the posts" table.
Couldn't believe 55 points was only 33 short of a £20 bonus on Monday. Hopefully be available to play a bit more next time there is a similar promotion on.
Fun evening at the tables. Bagged my 25 points so bring on tomorrow's FR and I don't think I lost money.
Sorry for mithering you all about my dishonest friend.
Making some steady progress with the B/R, 100 pts already in the bag and it's Strictly final so I don't expect to play much over the weekend unless mr GRINTLER shows up for our Heads Up game.
While we struggle with 3rd world problems like how to handle some delivery mix up run good, or how to game a guesstimating challenge, the world sadly continues to remind us of how harsh life can really be for some.
Some of those are well known to us in this community. Tomgoodun and ICE_Tiger are facing their challenges with bravery, humility and dignity and sharing their stories with us on this forum. Sadly we lost another community legend earlier this year in FlyingDagg and his family and friends will be feeling Dale's loss this holiday season.
For those suffering or caring for those who do, the very best of wishes to you for Christmas and for a positive new year.
As some of you know, my son has been away volunteering in Jordan working with refugees. The charity he works for Humanitarian Family Aid have a particularly close relationship with the Sudanese and Somalian community, although they do of course work with those greater numbers fleeing Syria and Iraq.
On the very day Sam came home for christmas, this story started to break.
Reports are coming in that sadly at least 2 children and an adult have died as a result of the tear gas attack. For those returning to Sudan, they are now being held by the regime from which they were fleeing and so their prospects are very bleak.
Here is some background to the original protest in my son's own words, written before their deportation was confirmed.
Around 800 Sudanese refugees in Amman, Jordan have been peacefully protesting and camping outside the UNHCR for over a month. They began the protest out of desperation and initially wore tape over their mouths to signify that they feel that they are neglected and ignored here. Today their camp was forcibly cleared by the police and the refugees were detained. The authorities are now preparing to deport them all back to Sudan where the many civil conflicts they fled from continue to rage.
The Sudanese have several legitimate grievances about their treatment here in Jordan. Sudanese refugees cannot work here legally and the limited employment opportunities available to them are dangerous and low paid. They often cannot afford to send their children to school and even where they can many schools refuse to register them. The distinct lack of opportunities here and the fact that they face almost no chance of resettlement has left the Sudanese community of around 3,500 in a permanent state of limbo with no end in sight. Their everyday lives here are difficult and the majority of the community live in dangerous neighbourhoods with families often too afraid to leave their homes. They are subjected to daily racism which manifests itself in the form of both verbal and physical abuse. Some individuals have had garbage thrown at them or have even been spat at or urinated on.
I have seen the desperate conditions that they are forced to live in. Very few charities allocate any of their resources to helping the Sudanese community and the amount of help they receive is simply inadequate. I’ve seen families devoid of hope, strong men cowed and too scared to leave their homes, and families with sick children who they cannot afford to help. In a recent article a UN spokesperson claimed that on average a Sudanese family received a monthly payment of 214 JD but from speaking to the refugees themselves and seeing the conditions in which they live this figure does not stand up to scrutiny.
Despite their desperate situation they conducted their protest in a dignified and non-confrontational manner despite challenging circumstances which saw them denied access to food and sanitation and having their heaters and cooking stoves confiscated. Well-wishers and many journalists were prevented from speaking to the families and offering their help by the security and the public toilets were chained up which forced the families to go to the bathroom in buckets. Everyday a small group of Sudanese women were forced to walk for miles to prepare what little food they could find for the rest of the families camping out.
There is not universal answer to the question: “what did they hope to achieve hope with their protest?”. The protest was a reflection of their dearth of options and their sheer desperation. What they require is a fairer chance of resettlement and greater support to allow them to survive whilst they remain in the country. What would have been a good start would have been simply to treat them with the respect they deserve and to listen to what they have to say.
The issue of resettlement is of course bigger than the UNHCR with individual countries still responsible for deciding how many refugees they take and from which countries. Most countries have only offered to fill meagre quotas of refugees and only from certain countries. The sad truth is that refugee policy is overwhelmingly shaped by media coverage which in turn reflects national interests and security issues which is why the discussion on accepting refugees has been virtually reduced to only Syrian, and to much a lesser extent, Iraqi refugees. One can only hope that the likes of the UK will wake up soon and realise that it should not matter whether or not the conflict a refugee is fleeing is politically relevant at that time. This should not determine whether they deserve to be resettled.
Negotiations are currently underway to try and allow the Sudanese to stay in Jordan for now but it is clear that even if this is successful they will continue to face desperate conditions here and they will face little chance of resettlement with the system as broken as it is.
I can bemoan a bad beat like anyone, perspective helps, not just knowing that 20% of the time your Aces will get cracked by an underpair. As Dohhh and Lambert have said recently we are all running good by virtue of which country we were born in.
Week ended with a bit more play while trying to track GRINTLER down, successfully in the end. Game on for 8pm tonight.
I have been steadily grinding up my small b/r. Briefly nudged over £70 only to drop back to mid 60's losing 2 out of my last 3 games and punting at a spinup table when SNGs were drying up. Got coolered 4 times in a row with underpair v overpair and dominated aces and didn't get lucky. Stood within my stop loss margin.
Well apart from the HUFA cup exit it has been a decent start to the week.
Used my token towards a 3.30 PLO8 dym and cashed.
B/R back over £70.
10pts+ earned for cash to get into the iphone draw - hit and run on the spinups and a decent Omaha cash hand all-in on turn with nut str8 but board double suited and I only a redraw to 1 Q high flush. No sweat though as opponent had 2nd nut str8 and no flush draws.
Had a good Christmas - both sons back so a full and busy house.
Watched PNE absolutely batter Hull 1-0 (no really)
Thought I had got some brownie points on the florist front. Remember the subtle hint? Well eldest son wanted to buy Mrs P some flowers for crimbo so I directed him to the very shop where I had (apparently) bought flowers when he was born.
He came home with a christmas bouquet, Mrs P loved them and the connection back to when he was born. Did I get any brownie points? **** no - Why did you send him there - it's too expensive.
Enjoying our new toy - the Smart TV (2 tables of PLO8 regs know the full story which I cannot disclose for legal reasons). Never really been a gadget freak - always a late adopter - My b-in-law is complete opposite. The large analogue TV in draws 1-3 of the HUFA being his cast off from when he got an HD smart TV. Went to their house and they now have a 4k curve screen TV.
Been enjoying surfing Youtube on the TV - well searching on phone and linking to TV (ok so I'm about 3 years behind but it's cool to me).
If you haven't watched on Air with Channing I suggest you do - loved it. Also catching up with Car pool Karaoke - Stevie Wonder my favourite.
Poker wise had a terrible run between chrsitmas and new year - some run bad a bit of tilt and my b/r was halved.
So refocused in 2016 on Macacgirls challenge and my 1000 game PLO8 challenge and things started better in the new year.
Thought I would try an experiment today seeing as it is double points on SNGs.
I had previously grumbled on here about £5 turbo dyms - unbeatable etc (have caused me a couple of downswings in the past chasing points). However I had also reflected considerably on my play in them and thought it worthy of another stab.
I'll give it one session - totally focussed - lessons learned - go.
Won 9/10 - not even running like god. 1 game had AQs /> KK and 77 /> 88 and that was balanced by the loss game where KK < AT and A4 < KQ. Had x2 £2 and 1 £3 lost all of those though.
118 points earned and £28 profit so b/r now £66.
Obviously some hidden run-good in there too as never coolered when shoving and only outdrawn badly in 1 game - but generally felt confident and that could actually play these profitably. I'll stick to short sharp sessions 2-3 tables max and see if I can maintain it. I know B/R not big enough really so I'll have a stop loss in there too.
Main focus for the year is 1000 PLO8 games. The atmosphere on those tables especially mid-late evening is just great, most enjoyable games. Maybe not the most profitable, boy have those 3.30 games toughened up regularly see levels 8 and 9 - but fun and that's the most important thing.
Maybe I need a new diary title too. The New rewards is not so new anymore - I think I proved categorically that it was a better deal for low stakes recs, especially if you can get 100 points a week.
It's a big milestone birthday for me this year (no prizes for guessing) and for Mrs P in 2 years - so I really do need to get on with making some money for a poker holiday.
One advantage of playing a bit in the new year is I am now on sharkscope leaderboards - never been there before and I doubt it will last. Most of them are "count" but one was for profit - all sites micro under $2 dym profit. I'm on there in 8th with the princely sum of $2. Bit of a way to go to catch the leader though at $1906!

Blackburn had 4 shots in the first half, all in the space of 2 seconds. PNE had by far the best of the game up until Blackburn got the ball into the box from a set piece and then 1 post 1 great save and 2 goal line clearances later it finally goes in off the back of our keeper.
2nd half started ok then a bit of pace on the break and a player goes down running along the edge of the 18 yard box and it's a penalty and 2-0.
Nice to see Garner get off the mark, hopefully first of many. It's was pretty much all PNE with Blackburn having 11 men behind the ball and a cracking atmosphere under the lights on a cold crisp November afternoon. Clear 2 handed shove in the back of Adam Reach pen not given though and Blackburn hold for the win.
Well played Lambie
What football!
You're such a tease phantom
So here is the shorter version...
Chatsworth house Christmas market was good, a lot of stalls with variety. House and grounds look spectacular so we plan to go back in the spring/summer for a proper looksee.
