Not long back from attending Dales funeral. It was one of the "best" funerals I've ever been to - Dale would have been proud of his family and friends today I think. It was definately a mixture of tears and laughter - and some lovely tales told of his poker exploits and 2nd family (i.e. Sky poker family). Members from various teams attended - TPT, Dragons, Outlaws, TKP, Team 51 and a few independents (apologies if I've missed any other teams but I always struggle to remember who is in which team lol). Was an enjoyable day (even if it was in sad circumstances) and I could almost hear Dale giving his approval to the whole thing. The flowers were fantastic (and yes Jonny I did see the noticable blue ones but can't seem to load the photo I took of them).
Now for the poker news - I am saddened to read that Misty is considering going AWOL for a bit. I completely understand your frustration Misty as I have been struggling to get the forum and the games to load since I got in tonight. I had a different chat operator though who was apologetic for the site not working - and so I'd decided to just have night off (as it happens I managed to get into the UKPC semi game just before end of late reg so I'm giving that a go). I hope you'll be back sooner rather than later as the place won't be the same without you xx
Its been a while since I have been on the forum and I am stunned, shocked and totally devastated to see the news about Dale. My thoughts and deepest sympathy to family, friends and all who knew Dale.
In B.h at min am 1/42 chip leader for quite a while.............just having fun, scaring the table...if I cash I cash, If I don't I've had fun playing.
I wish you all the best. Sometimes a break is for the best anyway if we are feeling frustrated, but hopefully you will be back playing again in the near future.
I was deffinately frustrated last night as I spent over 2 hrs trying to log on and eventually just gave up.
Been feeling a bit low recently and up to my eyeballs in it at work so my game is suffering because of it, so i'm having the night off tonight and will see how I feel tomorrow.
Although getting hammered by QPR on FIFA is a little frustrating too at times
Best of luck at the tables all. (as long as the site is a bit more stable tonight)
Made FT of 10.45 B.H am starting to like this tourney lol
went all in with AK and the chip leader went all in with AQ couldn't not call, flop came up with a aq so was out. Apologies from the chip leader for knocking me out. Said don't be, I'm happy enough, that's poker. They said didn't deserve to be knocked out like that in the final 4. Least I got to FT again! and I cashed again! so here's my results.............

Many thanks Trev, Angel, Roseeeee and MiliG for your kind words and offers of support too. It does mean a lot to have the support of such a great team......and to be fair SKY have given me a small goodwill gesture for the problems I, and many others experienced, though they still havent told me what they have done about the attitude of their tech. support staff which is what annoyed me more than anything.
I've managed to treble their goodwill gesture up with a few nice winners on the horses, which makes me feel a bit better too. I'm enjoying the break from Poker, and also watching the Golf from St. Andrews(I've backed Luke Donald e/w at 90/1, Matt Kuchar e/w at 55/1, and Louis Oosthuizen e/w at 25/1. Hopefully it will inspire me coz Golf is something I need to concentrate more on, and try and get back into.
Nice to see you doing well Angel, keep it up and GOOD LUCK to everyone else.........
Hi Misty, sorry to hear your having a tough time atm. Was the problems you encountered on Tues night? If so can understand your frustration, I had problems just getting the site to work and then once it was the games were almost unplayable.
I have not been in contact with cc yet, if I had of that night the way i was feeling and they were denying responsibility and claiming it was the customers computers fault, as i have heard from others was a common response, I would prob be fuming too.
Anyhow I hope you come back feeling refreshed after a (short) break : ) In the meantime good luck with the gigi's and golf and dont be a stranger.
Misty even of you don't play poker I need you to rail me when your b.f's on. Lmao �� who am I going to get up to mischief with now. Enjoy the break and come back more mischievous than ever lol missing you already my friend.
trip 10's came up against fh j's. I had fun as always and surprised wasn't out sooner. Surprising myself lately with the good run I seem to be having. Think I might be starting to understand this poker malarky lol
Run golden everyone and run deep. Hope to see some nice cashes from you all.
