In Response to Re: A farewell to all. : A lot of what i wrote was tongue in cheek, like (a player of my calibre). Thanks for your kind words though fella. I'll miss you too. Posted by cowhead
No problem fella
Good luck in the backgammon lets just hope you will be able to see your pieces
In Response to Re: A farewell to all. : Correct. A shame that a downswing gets into people's minds in the strangest ways, though. What an awesome beast variance can be. Some may remember Dave from SPT Newcastle, many years ago, when he made the Final Table & finished, I think, 8th. The Final Table included GliterBabe (winner), the dreaded Daughter, (2nd) aka Jamie Louise Barrett ( the Daughter of the equally dreaded MOTHER), & a young lady - a really most impressive player - by the name of Rachel Costa, who finished 7th. There was one of those crash bang wallop hands, think it was The Daughter with A-K, & Rachel Costa with Aces, & the Board ran out A-Q-J-10-2, giving The Daughter an unlikely double up, & Rachel got busted. The Daughter won about £3,000 for that, & promptly ran away with a policeman. You probably think I make this stuff up, but every word is true. Posted by Tikay10
I hope that was a flush based double up, otherwise I suspect the deck was dodgy. Or your reporting of the HH is dodgy

In Response to Re: A farewell to all. : I had a lovely time, apart from when my top set was beaten by broadway. Broadway does beat top set yes? Or was I shafted? Posted by hhyftrftdr
Well, that time has come for me to say goodbye. I've had fun and good fortune at the tables here on Sky. I've been fortunate to have won both, the mini and main in my time on here. I was fortunate enough to have won a UKOP rebuy event last year too aswell as a few other notable tourneys for a nice little profit. It paid for my wedding and honeymoon in NYC. If I'm being totally honest I love the site because I love bounty hunters and I really like short handed play, but, I've just had enough. The software issues on here are a major gripe, the customer support when you report these issues just give you generic replies and don't give a chit. Even if I wanted to carry on playing here I couldn't as it seems I have been doomswitched and gone broke after I withdrew most of the roll I'd built. I did cash out almost my whole roll to go to NYC and left myself short but to lose over a 12 month period since then is a bit of a joke for someone of my calibre. I've taken my lumps though and have now switched my attention back to backgammon. I used to play as a kid and have just found out you can play online for money, so anyone waning to play just drop me a PM and we can get a game on sometime. GL and run good in future. Dave.

Must admit I did get one occassion where you would have thought the dealer was helping out a table player.
I did a bet this second guy raised then a short stack goes all in, I then min reraise and see the other player go all in. Having saw this player open raise then ch the flop I knew bottom set was beaten but before I had chance to fold the dealer decided to deal the river.
I got the manager over and he was on my side stating that as long as chips were outside the ring they are still not in play therefore I could keep them
I actually looked into playing backgammon online for money, the problem is it's a solved game, not much action at all and you'll likely play against someone cheating
I find these posts kinda sad. You've had a downswing for 7months. Why not focus on the fact your ROI is 35% in 3,369 games? thats decent. Thats the stats you should be focussing on. Tournament poker has soo much variance. Stay the course. Your move.
For some inexplicable reason, this thread bumped itself yesterday, there had not been a post since early March, & it was languishing many pages back.
It then bumped itself onto Page 1, & it was AFTER that when Craig posted, & somehow the thread re-started.
For the record, the OP returned to Sky Poker some time ago, & is still playing here, happily so as far as I know. He's a Sunderland fan, so maybe life is looking up for him.
Stand by your beds, carry on, as you were, nothing to see here & all that.

As you were boys, as you were.
