hi peps not sure how this is going to go never wrote a diary before. To put bluntly im dyslexic yes got a certificate and everything and struggle  with this sort of thing. first thing 1st lets tell u a bit about myself my name is chirs cunliffe live in Salford just outside Manchester and yes we are a separate city lol.  im 26 and been playing poker since I was 18. My diary wont be just results based will be about  experience I hd in the game. also mental game the swings etc. And any questions u have please post below and will try to answer them all. I will try to update at least twice a week. and think with ukops coming up could be gd time to start.

    Nice one Chris, look forward to this.

    If possible, try & give the Diary good balance. Reams & reams of Hand Histories interest very few, as do continual moans & groans, but "real life" stuff is generally appreciated.

    Sorry to hear about the dyslexia, but don't worry about it on here, several others have the same problem.

    You playing all the UKPC biggies?

    Do you play off your own roll, or are you staked?
     
    Do you have a job, if so, what sort of job?

    Favourite football team?

    Favourite food?

    Favourite type of concrete?

    Ha.

    No need to delete, Rob, but yeah, I meant UKOPS, not UKPC.
     
    Very kind of you to offer to delete though, thank you.

    hi chris,

    looking forward to reading your thread.

    rob.


    ps. i don't claim to be dyslexic but think i might recognise some things.  i have a thought that everyone is dyslexic to some degree but it's just a fledgling theory.  how do you do at countdown and the conundrum at the end?.

Oh and next time I go through Salford will you wave back please.  Don't forget about the rugby!

    ukops I will be playing all the events over 20 pound and probably a lot of smaller ones the 11 pound ones are tremendous

    im not staked but do sell action for comps manly of sky like the big Sunday ones etc.

    job - Im a dog trainer and love my job tbh I don't do as much now because I take poker as my main source of income.

    football team- man utd but big rugby fan Salford reds are my true love

    fav food - hmmmm so much choice but have to me mums Sunday roast.

    fav film - independence day

    yes aussie dyslexia I learnt to live with basically in simple terms it is if one expect of learning is not up with the other. and for me its spelling grammar etc so this diary ting it a bit scary :=). but also helps me in other things for example numbers I always get the numbers right on countdown will be some team.

    I'm an autistic person myself and have been doing a diary myself. The last year I've been getting far too negative and groany with my own posts. I've just came back from a long break and went into a SnG and MTT standard amd find it easier to avoid groaning when posting about them.

    Just do as TK says really and take a break during bad times before your diary gets too many consecutive groaning posts.

    best of luck

    Hi Chris,

    I'll also look forward to reading this. 

    I've always wondered if your name on Sky had something to do with your interests outside of poker, so it's interesting to hear that you're a dog trainer!

    Would be good to see you back in Priority!

    Best,
    JP.

    Awesome.

    If you had given me 1,000 guesses, I'd never have got that.

    How did you come to get involved in Dog Training?

    Do you "sell" lessons?

    To individuals, or groups of owners/dogs? Like a sort of mini Barbara Woodhouse, or more like Caesar Milan?

    Barbara Woodhouse famously talked about her technique of blowing up a dog's nose.  i recall Harvey Smith being asked whether he might train horses by using the same technique.  Harvey responded, "you might as well just blow up its a***."

    hi  yes my dog training is specialise to security dogs German sheps etc. I did a degree in animal behaviour/welfare at the uclan only did 2 years but there gave me the knowledge to purse a career in dog training. basically my job is to make sure there train dogs probably police/sercutiy services don't do that much know of this. I know do general behaviour of dogs for the public like Caesar milan. I will post a pic below of my German shep not a sercutiy dog big softy tbh.
