Thanks for all of the messages guys, nice to get this going again. Poker news. Not much to say really, nothing really went for me on Sunday night. The month has been decent. No massive hot streaks, no tragedies, just plodding on to be honest which is very much the way of things. Going to grind the DYMS and STTs hard over Double points week, let's see if we can get some interest back in them and maybe make a little paper as well homies. Yes I've been playing GTAV too much.

I know that feeling, even my gaming friends are questioning my life.
Still shooting random hookers for no reason is suprisingly fun, an long as its pixiated right?
Glad i could set you up for that specific Mr Chips video.
I notice that Kansas City are running as well as you at 6-0. (at the time of posting this) Will they top the the AFC West and can they be superbowl Champs?
The charity hasn't been confirmed yet but I have an idea so will try and confirm asap. The Arsenal community charity seems like a good idea but I don't know if I can do it to Tommy!
WP on the ME bink last night sir. Diary was lying dormant so thought I'd give it a bump Any side bets with Bates again this year? What charity was it in the end for last year, save a gooner? How's January been for you? Posted by Lambert180

So let's try to get the ol' diary back into action:
January? Well it's been swingy. Had one of my worst ever downswings in the middle of it. I managed to drop £7k in four days, the technical term for this sort of expenditure is a 'City Trader Weekender in Amsterdam.' Pre swong I had a purple patch, post swong I did a heck of a lot of grinding. Just like AC/DC we are now back in black for January. I'm probably going to cruise the last couple of days as well, I never have a winning January since the dawn of time, so booking a win would be sweet albeit a small one.
Ahhh, good reminding on the bet with Bates. Bet with Bates? Sounds like a channel 5 TV show, probably with a naked Keith Chegwin. Anyways, when Mr B decides upon the charity I will obv donate.
This year we're doing a good one so I have decided to keep track of it here. It is:
BINGO WITH BATESO
I know what you're thinking, how can anyone out bingo the man I will always call Bingo Bates. Well I like a challenge. The bingo card for the year is:
Every main of the week Every mini of the week Every 9pm £55 Bounty Hunter/The 9pm roller slot of UKOPS weeks etc of the week Every 10.30 £55 Speed Bounty Hunter (obviously called the Matt Bates Invitational) of the week
Four in a night, twenty eight spaces to fill on the card. You tick them off with a win, most spaces filled in a year wins (or first to house up and get the set, although this is unreal tough).
And we've both frankly gotten off to a slow start.
The current scoring:
Matt - 1 - Weds Mini Tommy 2 - Fri 9pm, Weds Main.
Obviously will get a lot more interesting closer to the end of the year or if we heater them. You will notice of course that Matt hasn't won the MBI this month to date. Might be time for a name change.....

I dont think its the gooners that need to be saved, when you go to scouse land the locals are soo hard up they need to nick your wheels, or at the very least charge you "insurance" for minding them !

WP tommy, I guess it softens the blow of last night if you get my drift .
In Response to Re: Many Rivers To Cross. A Diary. : It's not surprising really thingslike this would crop up. Afterall, she did some shocking things to this country, i wasnt even born when she came to power but i've never met anyone that had a good word to say about her. What she did to the miners and mining communities was criminal. I was speaking to a miner once who was telling me they had to rely on charity for a year just to survive during the strikes! Tight communities were blighted and split by her uncompromising stance. Unlike the guy who relied on charity to feed his family during the strike those who actually broke the strikes to feed their families were, and are still, "scabs" in their home towns. It would seem she had no compassion or empathy Posted by LARSON7
Replace Thatcher with Scargill and you may be right.
Hows Matts bingo card coming on, and your own? Posted by Lambert180
I have sent Matt off into the cavern or MTT history right now to check. When he comes back I'm sure I won't believe him and have to go through Gary's thread myself. Will keep you abreast.
Gonna kick start this dairy again by doing an inplay Sunday thread. Tomorrow will be the life stuff portion when I am completely whacked and mentally drained, but with a little glint as a new episode of Game of Thrones will only be a few hours away. Hopefully it will give an impression of the emotionally charged Sunday people who rely on poker as their source of income experience.
So I'm all regged up for the day. We're on three sites today. Sky, next door and ***. I have gone fairly heavy on Sky and ND, fairly light on *** but obviously in for the wing and a prayer big score finals. You never know, it might be my day. Just in the lows of the first two shovel events, plus oversized 11 and Bad Weather. (You may have picked up I've decided to over do the code for non Sky sites). As for Next Door, in for today's biggie there, a couple of the supports and will be grinding the Sats for the DTD live Deepstack and of course the UKPC. Here on Sky, basically regged everything a tenner and over up until 10:30pm. Really looking forward to the Roller tonight, I feel good and think I can break my barren spell in it. The UKPC final here should offer up a ton of seats (today is the day to take a shot at it if you are considering it imo) plus I've got he challenge final which will add a fun dynamic to my screen at a time I hope it will be chock-a-block.
Got a music mix on, it's ten hours in length. Let's hope I have to restart it today.
Happy gringing all, I hope to update every break
Oh yeah, numbers. In for £1.5k or so across the poker world today. Let's see if it was worth it.
The calm before the storm. Only been one tabling for the last hour, a £11 BHer on Sky. Pretty much in the field with one bounty. I haven't really focussed in just yet but nice a settled. I keep looking outside through my office door to the garden. Looks like a lovely day for a beer and to chill with friends. Sun is shining, life feels good. Then instead of feeling sorry for myself I remember two key points:
1) Sunday's is the biggest day of the week for Online Poker. It's one of the sacrifices, alongside giving up many Friday and Saturday nights.
2) Luckily I'm at the age where most of my good friends have mortgages and fleets of little 'uns. It's not like there's a party going on and I'm missing out.
Still, would be nice to chill in the garden with a cold one.
To give you an idea, here is my view. Please excuse the washing. It's washing day. I am obviously over 30 after saying that.
First Exit of the day, the first £11 BHer. Ended up with one bounty. Don't think I'd ever do much different. Obviously worried about KJ but sometimes they have it.

1 main win each
1 mini win each
3 £55bh wins for me, 2 for Mr D
2 £55bh speed wins v 4 for Mr D
This means its 8 v 7 in the favour of the old guy.

2 tabling Sky now, other sites begin from 4pm.
In other news, the Hound is running around in the garden without a care in the world, chewing stuff. Lucky girl
