Nice brutal start to the month by dropping £500 at HU PLO 1/2 in 20 minutes. I've decided just to post the three big pots up, from recollection the middle one is bad. Haven't reviewed them yet but I'm going to let everyone else pick the bones out of them for me. Feel free to swing away.
Just watched my widget thingy disappear down to zero. Felt like a kick in the wossits TBH. Certainly a moment you need to steal yourself for. So to the final score. Points - 40726 Profit/loss +£2664.91 Had a swong over the weekend so we end the month around 5k better off when we think of profit and C4P. Happy. As for the points, so much tougher than I thought. You need to really power through the month and as targets got lower my volume decreased as well. It's been pretty obvious for a week or so I could only get to the 40k point level so volume all tailed off to sneak over that line. Ticket booked for the freeroll, let's see what tomorrow brings.

Thats a lot of points!, how many tables do you play?
So Roy Hodgson is the new England Football manager then. I've been tipping him through hope rather than true expectation ever since Harry was made favourite. No where near shocked with the FA though, they've blown so much money on foreign managers they need someone who:
Won't cost much compo to employ
Won't command anything near Fabio's wages (The FA don't like paying English managers the same as those hugely sucessful Swedes or Italians).
Doesn't have any wiff of controversy
Is not going to be too much trouble or want to change the infrastructure/archaic way the FA and England is run at all
Safe Roy it is then. I'm delighted, he is a good manager although not as good as Harry despite what Twitter may tell you over the last month. And Spurs keep Harry which might in turn keep Bale and Modric etc if we can bink that champs league spot. Tight times but we do have chances.
As for England's chances at the Euros, it all depends if the manager is running the team or the players. We will see.
j634 hand has to be a fold pre? will flop so many non nut draws with big rio, only made 30k c4p myself got really tired towards end of the month. Posted by LOL_RAISE
Agree, there's a reason why that's the 3rd one, tilt chasing and hoping to catch a flop with far too big a range of hands. That was a mental mistake pre more than anything.
Spurs win 4-1 at Bolton and are now just one point behind them down the road. Everything is up in the air with Chelsea in the Champs League final. I feel the need to quote John Cleese from the film Clockwise. 'It's not the despair, Laura. I can take the despair. It's the hope I can't stand. ' Posted by TommyD
In Response to Re: Many Rivers To Cross. A Diary. : Should give Newcastle some confidence. Hopefully they will give Man City a game Posted by PiAnOpLaYa
I have to type this quietly because the GF is a big Toon fan, but I can't see Man City dropping any points between now and the end of the season. They have all of the momentum as well as a great squad.
True, that guy is on an unbelievable run of form. On that note, the missus has just told me that they (I assume his team mates) feed him goat before a game and when they feed him goat he scores. Has this any basis in reality or is she confusing dreams with real life again? If it's the later I'm scared she's having Shawn Goater related sex dreams.

hi tommy
i believe the newcastle canteen lady spoke to somebody at freiburg and they gave her the ingredidents to make the traditional sauce that cisse was used to in senegal/ germany.
It annoys me slightly the medias surprise at him scoring, he was top scorer in the bundesliga for a side second bottom. The german league is now very very strong and probeynak and siggurdson have both scored for fun in the premier league after rarely scoring over there earlier in the season...

Complete agree about the Bundesliga. I have a bad feeling I'm going to be hoping they are super dooper strong by the time the champs league final comes round.
In Response to Re: Many Rivers To Cross. A Diary. : anoying when that happens ive had it at the end on final tables before when its cut out. A good tip if you have nice neighbours and get on well with them is get there access code to log on to there wifi for emergencies that way if your router goes down you may get a week signal from next door but at least you have a chance to connect if something happens.

haha, the neighbours, where do I begin.....
I live in a maisonette (posh name for a flat). It's part of a block of four and if you are in the street looking at it myself and the missus are top left.
We have nicknames for most of our neighbours in the street. As far as our block goes:
Bottom Left - The German.
I like the guy, the missus hates him. His sneeze is loud and elongated that I now say bless you every time he does it, we hear it loud and clear. Regular as clockwork at 11:30 we hear him slam his windows shut and this is normally followed by a loud crash. This crash may or may not relate to the fourteen empty bottles of wine in his recycling every single week. He lives alone but during the holidays his huge haired sister visits. Well he said she's his sister, they walk down the road hand in hand and we once saw them in the pub getting pretty over familiar. I wonder, is there a Norfolk equivalent in Germany?
Top Right - Dot.
Full name Dorothy, she lives with her 6 year old daughter. She may or may not be an escort. She is Polish and registered disabled (registered enough for a blue parking badge) due to a really bad back. A back bad enough for a badge but not bad enough to totter down our very steep hill with ten inch stilettos on. The daughter is a delight, a very sunny child who is very quiet but we both feel sorry for her as she seems to be stuck indoors for much of the weekends/evenings. There are gardens here but not a garden where she can play. A few times I've seen her sat at her balcony door staring out and it gives me pains of sadness for her, a flat is not an ideal place for a child to grow up, and if that is the case then take your child to the parks and forests we have in abundance here a lot more often. Regarding the sex work, several claims have been made by bottom right, we'll get to her in a bit. Apparently Dot, who has told me she owns a cleaning company, has an abundance of overnight guests. She does leave the flat on occasion wearing clothes that would make Essex girls blush. Late at night we have heard her in a state of enjoyment, on the odd occasion with a gentleman's voice alongside. Once with a lady's voice alongside.
Bottom Right - Hyacinth.
Originally from Jamaica, Hyacinth lives with her son and her boyfriend. She is, in my opinion, nuttier than a fruitcake. If you are listening to a story from her it is guaranteed that the story will make less and less sense the longer you listen, to the point of breaking the laws of physics on the hour mark. Also, after calling me Tom for six months, she moved to calling me Peter for a year, which got awkward when she put it in the Christmas card and we were yet to write ours. All three are friendly but hate anyone knocking at the door, attempting to conduct full conversations through two inches of wood rather than open up the door. When the postie leaves a package at their place me and the GF flip a coin to see who goes, then I go anyway. When they do open up the door you may get a whiff of something not illegal in the Netherlands. She hates Dot with an unbelievable passion, I really think there is a two way dislike purely based by race by both parties. Hyacinth has told me before some deplorable opinions about the Polish, and she is adamant that Dot is trying to be noisy to keep them awake at all times. It started with 'constantly flicking a stone on the floor.' The latest is, and I am not exaggerating, 'She has an illegal banging machine and if I call the police she will be arrested.'
These are my neighbours, which one should I ask to piggy back my WiFi with?
You write very colourfully Tommy. Although I hope for your sake Dot, Hyacinth and Juergen the German aren't secretive SKY Poker players and spot you on television in your new found fame, and put 2 and 2 together. Although I would look forward to your posting of the confrontation that followed, really enjoying the non poker related diversions in the diary.

Thank you very much. In hindsight I should have introduced them too you before now. We'll be moving (with luck) in a month or two so not much more time, but I will let you know of their exploits. I omitted The German's name, mainly due to the fact I can't spell it. I think it's Deitlef.

You from Derby?
Won't cost much compo to employ
Won't command anything near Fabio's wages (The FA don't like paying English managers the same as those hugely sucessful Swedes or Italians).
Doesn't have any wiff of controversy
