Ha! I could have written that the other week! Wonder if I should give those DYMs another go now? Posted by RICHORFORD Come play some PLO8 DYMs with Tikay and the gang
In Response to Re: The (even more imaginatively titled) sequel to The Orford Poker Journal 2015…The Orford Poker Journal 2016 : Lol, not a day goes by where I don't think to myself 'I only wish I was being ridiculed by Mr Nutter'. ;-) Posted by RICHORFORD
You may be in luck if you don't start playing more imaginative poker!
That's two big heads-up I've lost now in a week. Clearly this is an area I need to do some work on. Other than that- all looking good at the moment.
£605 profit for 2016 and overall lifetime profit of £225.
£775 to go for the year's target.
Of course, although I'd like to talk about how much skill I brought to the game tonight, I must confess it does help rather when you become an enormous chip leader three quarters the way through the tournament because another mammoth stack with pocket 9s calls your pre-flop raise.
And you're holding AJ hearts.
And the flop comes...
K Q 10.
All hearts.
It also helps when the other chip monster hits a set on the turn and a full house on the river. #GG #UL #RIP.
I've never had a royal flush before, let alone flopped it straight out the traps.
See? Total skill... ;-)
EDIT: A good night for the Sky Poker TV onscreen team. As Ryan came 4th in the main Super Roller!
I like to think your upturn started from your confidence boosting run in the HUFA Cup. Thanks for your help with the semi-final draw https://youtu.be/GOVRrj2FkGE Posted by Phantom66
No problem. Obviously I took one for the team and bowed out early in the competition so I could present the semi-final draw. Would have been a little weird if I was drawing myself out the hat.
That was my thinking anyway when I lost my heads-up battle earlier this year.
VWP Ric. Don't forget BRM tho. ;-) BTW.. when my Mrs. hears your voice on "Sky-linkage" she ALWAYS says "oh, that's that Mr.Tikay from Skypoker you used to watch! " I just agree as it's way too much effort to explain.............. Posted by Glenelg
Thanks Padraig.
BRM. The bane of my life. Yep, going to really try this time though.
As for your missus- seriously I've had my fair share of insults in the past, but I think that one might just top the lot.
She gets me confused with Tikay? Jeez, is there a lower blow known to man than that?
I just knew it..... RicOrford has finished 2nd and wins £963.80, and was awarded 600 Poker Points . Well played mate, GG. Posted by MAXALLY
Thanks Alan.
Yes, on a proper roll right now. Three major second place finishes in 3 back-to back sessions all inside a week.
Yes, clearly I suck at heads-up! Lol.
Well done to Macapapa, who as I write is incredibly gunning for the £5K jackpot. Won the main against me HU and is still hanging on 3rd/3 in the mini right now. Incredible stuff.
2nd/248 for me ain't bad though. Made a profit on the night of £697.50.
