Thank you TK. I was trying to promote the deepstacks and also have a bit of fun at the same time as the banter last night was 1st class with no dummies being chucked ( which makes a refreshing change.)

No worries Max, all sorted now. A minor misunderstanding, these things happen.
Haven't played properly for a while, so havent posted on here. Yesterday I had a 8/9 hour session, after going the club for the afternoon, sometimes these go t*ts up, but luckily yesterday went well.
Back to 1 tabling on my rubbish lappy, so decided to attack the HU sng's for some fast action. Just started at £5/10, and made £60 at them, think I won 9/13 or something. Wasnt really keeping score, was just enjoying them and was surprised to see how much I made, and how quickly I made it. (I love the re-match facility on these, finding someone I have the beating of, and talking to them in the chatbox, re-assuring them theyre playing well and Im getting lucky, lol Im so bad!)
Played half an hour cash with Mr.Orford and co, made bout a tenner I think, was a chillaxing game waiting for the main event to start.
Going well in the main event, up to 9k after half an hour. Blinds were 75/150, and there was a guy at my table with 10k. I raised up, 3 hands out of 6, to 400, just under 3xbb. The hands were ten ten, AJs and AT off, and each time, the guy behind me with 10k went ALL IN! ALL IN!!! He refused to play a flop with me. It really really wound me up. I went card dead, and ended up busting tamely, was sooo disappointed with myself, letting this guy get to me. My exit hand was 23 off suit, shoving the sb, BB called with ace 4 I think, fair doos, I was short and annoyed.
Went back to HU sng's, £20 ens this time, lost 3/4 to the same guy, I bet he couldnt believe his luck bumping into a tilted DOHHHH. The last game I played was a sick outdraw though, which made me feel alot better! NOT!
Resisted the temptation for a re-match, feeling pretty tilted now, but still up for the day.
Looking for a game, sat at a NL100 table, and doubled within half an hour, hit top set, and got paid off by second pair, happy days.
Feeling abit better about life, pick up AKhearts, how pretty does that look 200bbs deep! I flop the ace and turn the flush draw. Hes called me twice and the river is another ace. Hard to know how I'm gonna get paid here, make a V bet and he shoves. The board is pretty dry, and call without thinking. He shows AQ, and I take down my biggest pot on sky poker, £410! - what a river card!
I carried on for a while longer, won abit, then lost abit, then won abit then lost abit, then my head started to spin, and I called it a night. Always nice to wake up in a morning and see the balance has gone the right way!
Here endeth the first lesson ..........................
Thursday DEEPSTACK:
1. tikay1 - £34.802. elsadog - £23.20 + 12 League Points3. Robnbeth - £16.24 + 10 League Points4. Crassus - £11.60 + 8 League Points5. DeBuster - £9.28 + 6 League Points6. pokjedwick - £8.12 + 4 League Points7. JIMBO586 - £6.96 + 3 League Points8. Seagull158 - £5.80 + 2 League Points
A very, very enjoyable game, but I have to blame Barry for waking-up 'the man'. We were all sailing along nicely up to that point, then 'he' awoke, remembered where he was, and ripped the table to pieces.
Very well played sir, a lesson to us all. I just wish I could have made more of the H2H but the preceding 32 deuces ( I counted them in the HH afterwards ) left me rather short unfortunately. It would have been nice to have a protracted heads up with you.
ps. I have now moved all rag Aces up in my hole-card values. The mighty A6os is now firmly placed at the top. ;o).......... Oh! ..... and the Dolly Pardon (Parden, Pardan) move was outrageous.
Another good night, things running well at the moment. Skipped the main event sats when i realised it was a Bounty Hunter which i can't stand so just played cash last night. As i've said earlier in the thread im just spinning up my free TKO money at the mo and that progressed well. Started with the £25 2 days ago - got that to £73 for yesterday and then span it up to £150 last night. Ran well, Played OK with one or 2 lucky get out of jail cards but on the whole a very sucessful night.
Will play the sat tonight for the main event and then back to some micro and low level cash. Should be fun though im not expecting my good run to last
Fantastic, won my first £1000 velocity lastnight and i am improving faster than i can take imformation on board. Ive still got a long way to go but won three tourneys on 3 different sites this week. Tikay We met in Newcastle(on the hotel stairs). im one to watch for the future. Watch this space :0)
Stated at 3pm yest, bit later than usual due to the cricket. Entered the £250gtd, no luck AT s v KT off, n I lost to a flush! lol
Played 3 cash games at once, steady profit. The last hand I played, was the type of hand that happens alot, and maybe u guys can help me with it.
It was NL30, I ad a stack of 65, Raised with AJs and called behind. The flop is 3, 4, 8, - 2 diamonds. I like it, and bet out. I'm called. The turn is a blank, something like 10x. I ave 2 overs, and 9 cards to the nuts so still 15 outs, and the betting lead. I have to continue here, so I bet 3/4 pot and quickly called. The river is an ACE! What a confusing card that is. I now have showdown value, but the guy could be playing a monster behind. I dt really know where I am here, I'm trapped out of position, with a disguised hand. I check, and my opponent bets half the pot! Has he missed the same draw? Does he have a set? - How does he perceive me? - What would u guys do here?
The opponent is a good , solid player especially at those levels, one of the best, he will probably read this and laugh.
The ace, although it's helped my hand, its kinda stumped me!
Anyway, played the orfordable deepy again, I WILL win it 1 day. I was chip leader at the first break, and quickly increased the lead, before making a big mistake, again getting trapped OOP with 2nd pair. Tried using my stack to take the pot, the guy had 2 overs and a fd on the flop, and unfortunately hit his overcard on the turn, and picked me off.
Managed to hang in there, and battle int 4th/5th I think?
Had a great blind on blind battle ith HuFungPu lol - He beat me 3-1 in the end I think. wp sir.
I ignored the NL50 tables and went bak to NL100 again. Got a sik hand 4th hand, my AA all in pre v KK. So was playing £200. Lost abit, then had a huge hand, hit top set jacks, v a fd. The river paired the board, giving me the nut FH, but also gave my oppo te nut flush, it was a beauty.
Im running so hot here, but with poker, theres always a booby trap round the corner. Im so deep, like 360 bbs, so when I get 44 I'm more than happy to see a flop when the Big man Shann raises. The flop is 8 8 2. I get busy here, bet the flop, and the turn. I'm about ready to give up, Ive fired twice, and BIGSHANN doesn't call twice without the goods. Wen all of a sudden the river is a 4. Wow sick hit, I run soooo good! My hand is so disguised, Bigshann never gives me credit here, and I can overbet the pot and get paid! I do just that, and he moves all in. Im already typing my apology in the chatbox, when BOOOOM, He shows 88 for flopped quads.
Ouch! - Who runs good? lol
Anyway I finished the session about a buy in and half up.
Best result of the night was 'bubble boy' in the 8.15 deepy.
I entered the big one at 8pm and the Orfordable too, but we had surprise guests at 6.30 and I had to withdraw from the Orfordable. I left my entries for the later two thinking I might get in before my chips disappear. The blinds were too quick for me in the 8pm so got online with only 800 left and crashed out at the first opportunity.
Night started of badly with a 20£ dym going wrong on the bubble.
Still bought into the main event and looked forward to a good nights pokering. The girlfriend then said she wanted pizza so had to pop out to pick it up leaving her in charge of the first few hands. Came back to find i was allready 500 chips down. Picked off a couple of players and was happy to see at the start of the first break my name was top of the chip list.
The night wore on and after about 2 hours play I had made it to the money albeit in about 40th place the game carried on and I eeked out a few more hands and then another hour went by and we made it down to the last 10 still virtually bringing up the rear as it were.
Midnight comes and goes now 4 hours in and the final table looms out of the distance 1 or 2 big stacks and 4 mediocre ones play as few hands as possible and made them pay and we aare down to five and i think at this point I have the chip lead for the first time in the tourney since that one point pre the first break about 3.5 hours back.
I ship a few chips and player to my right makes some moves and clears the two bottom stacks skinnyribs and zzcop. We are now down to three and the cards are not treating me well until JA runs in front of me at which time i probably make my big mistake of the night there is always one just does not usually cost as much. Big stack raises me and i'm stuck in the hard position. The blinds are now 40k iirc so i probably have about 5bb left and should really push this but instead call him. Flop comes down rag five six so i push he calls with 78 and hits the eight on the river oh well my best nights poker on here and a nice 650£ into the bankroll.
Next hand big stack has his AA cracked and i believe went on to lose the heads up.
Only played the £7k DS last night and ended up cashing a bit (41st from memory). Lost half my stack early on with in a pot involving a frankly stupid river-raise by myself, but clawed it back with some good honest healthy aggression :-D I do really like the £4k and £7k DS tournies.
Managed to cash for 37th place of 663 in the £6k Saturday Open. I struggled all the way through this and was playing short stack poker throughout. I think I made more steals in this than I have all week. Not a pleasant way to have to play but all good practice.
Later I played in the £400 BH and again I was Mr Shortstack for almost the entire ride and scraped 3rd Place!!!!!! but with only one bounty to my name. Still, a healthy profit there then.
I also played the Orfordable earlier in the evening and only missed the bubble by a couple of places ..... **** it!! I was on target for two 'bubble boy's' in a row there! (my record for bubbling is 4 in a row btw). I found it difficult to give it my full attention as I was struggling in the Open, and had to prioritise. But as always a nice tournament to play in with friendly banter throughout.
I had a profitable night overall and 2 cashes from 3 played, so no complaints here.

Would you like a twist of Lemon with that Sir? )
You'll need to remind me as to what tournament that was. I suck-out on so many players in the course of a tournament that it's impossible to remember them all.
I started off in the orfordable, got rid of nearly half my chips fairly early with a couple of speculative plays and then scrabbled around at the back of the field until going allin on the flop with k high on an Ace high board when it was so obvious the OP (some dog with purple hair) had an Ace. I do that every now and again for some unexplainable reason; convince myself the OP has nothing when all the evidence points to the fact that he has me beat. I satellited into the Open and went through a similar process there, getting rid of a large percentage of my chips and surviving on scraps, until I attempted a double up with K 3 against J 9 after a 10 8 3 flop, was in great shape after K on the turn and then was crushed by the river 7 for his straight. I'm claiming a bad beat there. As I was out of the Open before 9 I entered the 1000GTD MTT at 9 with 249 runners and made 20th for 10 profit. I exited this tourny in gut wrenching fashion when my AI with 22 was called by A high and the board came K K 7 7 9 to counterfeit my deuces. One of those evenings where I struggled all the way through but came out with a small profit and, I hope, learned a few things along the way. Roll on tonight!!!!
played 1 game of poker yesterday, the offordable ds. played for 2hrs 58 mins and finished 7th(payed 5!!!!) not cashing put aside, played some very good players last nite dohhhh, elsa to name a few, and had a good entertaining evening in the chatbox with daffodil and here rabbit. all in all 3hrs good poker for £3.30.
