Thanks Tikay. I've been a long-term, infrequent reader of the forum but will try to post a bit more going forward! I think Sky have something special with regards to their community, which has always attracted me to the site.

Cinema was a shocker.Had to go there as the show times worked better. I’m really getting to that age unfortunately. I remember it being built. I went to see Thelma and Louise there with a girl. Well not quite. She didn’t show. It hasn’t changed a bit since. Although fortunately the girl showed this time ... Think i’ll play tonight in the faint hope that i can improve on my 2 streak.

Dym question
Blinds 50/100 We have 3400 on the button with 5 left and 10s
Cut off opens to 300. He’s playing 2200. He’s a busy player
I folded
Not quite sure about that one. Think i’m happy with it
Not mad keen on flatting here, & we could end up committing an awful lot of our stack without really knowing where we are, & there will be a whole lot of flops we don't like.

On the Button with your stack I'm calling. as I would always want to see the flop with 10's ........ but then I'm a Non-Nit Bingo Fish and probably why I play Turbo DYM's

I'm pretty sure jamming all-in is the optimal play in this spot, especially if you have the read that he's more active than population. It really depends what the other stacks look like but we can exert so much pressure on him because of ICM as we cover him. His calling range vs your jam should look something like JJ+ and AK if all stacks are quite equal so just think about the amount of hands we get to fold out by jamming if he's opening quite wide.

I’m not sure We’re in good shape as it is His calling range might well be those hands if he’s a decent reg but I see a lot worse call. But hands that still have decent equity against us
Against a decent reg i’m a fan of raising to 750/800ish Although not many good regs would raise to 300
If they make it 200 then i’m liking the 550 raise to put them in a difficult spot
Depends on stacks and how capable the other players are at the table.
If we think the openers calling range is as tight as JJ+ and AK and their opening 3x range is much wider we should potentially be shoving loads more hands that block, so Ax KJs+ are good candidates (possibly better than 10s), just depends on how much you need the extra chips and what this action might do to the game dynamic. Sometimes in these spots when there’s a crazy player you just need to wait for one of the shorter stacks to go to war with them and chips flying for you is a good result.

I'd jam here some times, flat call a lot of the time and fold sometimes. My decision will be based upon what range I think villain is opening and how likely he is to call a shove plus the general strength of the table. If it's an unknown player I'm more likely to flat, a reg I'd likely 3 bet/shove. Aggro fish and I'd probably fold.
Harry has been in the loft room since we moved in. I think it’s great but he’s been saying that he wants to use the bedroom on the same floor as me for a while. His Mum picked him up to go to a birthday party at 9,45 and by 1.30 when he came back he had a new bedroom with a few new bits added to it He was most impressed which makes it worth it 😊
Failed tonight, kind of. Did actually win some money Won £2 😊
Not playing Dyms well at the moment Any chance of carrying my 3 streak at £11s over Sky?
Got deep in the 2 9.30s Lost a flip in the £3.30 rebuy for a massive stack
Then had one which I’m sure misterpj would be fine about and just shrug his shoulders
18 left and the button playing avg stack 3xes A just above average stack aggro Sb goes all in I have QQ in bb
I have a just above average stack too. This is a good spot I think. So I go all in 😊 Button snaps and shows K6. Sb has 77
Gg me 😊 (well not quite as i won the side pot. i had a couple or so bbs left and got in a flip with Chrisdonkb. Then it was definitely gg)
Poker is jolly frustrating at times.
Got 490 points but can’t be bothered to get the extra 10 .... Week off work so I’m going aim to have a lot of sex and improve on my 3 streak at Dyms

Went to see The Gentlemen
It was ok. Standard Guy Ritchie fare

Pleased to see you have joined Team Nit.

It’ll be interesting to see how it pans out
It could have been worse
I won about 4 hands at Dyms in the first 2 hours. And they were walks in the big blind
My bankroll stood at 29p with 2 £5 Dyms left, the £5 rebuy and the 6.30 £5bh
Won the Dyms. Won a head for £9 when I had 2 bbs in the £5 rebuy
Then came 6th in the 6.30
Not disastrous in the end
Lost £30 on the night
Packing up now
Rubbish game
But it’s nice when you improve your bankroll by 334%
Played for a couple of hours and won £19
Bit annoying that i lost my last few dyms on the bubble but still ok
Can’t be arssed to play anymore tonight so i’m going pub
Gl all playing
