Caption (long one)Little donkey, little donkey On a dusty road Got to keep on plodding onwards With the precious (little) load Been a long time little donkey Thro' many an SPT night Don't give up now little donkey The bar and rail are in sight
Shamelessly adapted from the Little Donkey song obv!
Caption competition:(Rich) "Hey Gringo ! Can you refil my Donkey please pronto." (Dealer) "Sorry Senor this is not a rebuy tournament, there are many cash games available!..... unless you have a 6 hour drive ahead of you senor.Thanks for coming have a niceday."
hi rich, I'd like to pick the brains of your two guests please re tournament poker, and what style they think is the best way to progress in the current climate. It seems like players like Elky & Thewy like to employ a hard hitting lag style as opposed to the tikay slowly slowly catch a monkey way of poker.
for example, I just had a quick read of Julian's sky blog and saw he was getting it in with 30 bb's ....quote hand :- "With starting stacks now at 20k in the ME I just played way too nitty in the early levels & as a consequence wasn't able to get much going ...lazy, autopilot poker; just about the worst combo. I went out to the eventual winner at the 200/400 level when I 4b jammed 12k with A-Js v into K-K"
There are a good number of these sort of hands Julian mentions, and Tikay would probably say well 12k stack is still a good playable stack, and maybe fold to a 3 bet, but I just get the impression that to win in the modern game one needs to employ a more lag style of play.
Would Jen and Kevin help me with this please, as I do tend to be more tikay than Julian, and hence never really get a super deep stack to play aggressively with (ie 3bet,4 bet etc stack).
Then maybe I can employ their advice in next weeks 12k bounty!
how can you comment that greg robbed the company, surely this is you, when they enter u into spt expecting some impossible task such as a return on their money.
Hi Folks I'd like to know how Kevin picked his online name and if he has picked an avatar to represent himself. I tried to pick out one for ,yself the other day which wasn't the regular ones around the tables. I picked a pic of a supernova which is of a very large object blowing up. how apt, i thought. You don't fancy borrowing it do you Rich(The sixty minute man as you can be referred to by Tikay etc from now on.
Sorry mate, but i know you can it. Maybe you'll be able to ride into Jerusalem on your donkey one day just after you win an spt event......

Well done Jen on last night, great show
On a dusty road

The donkey's saying, "Who's the as s now Orford? Hee-Haw Hee-Haw!"
Just want to say well done to Jen on her SPT 2nd and could i also say that she is looking gorgeous tonight.
Caption comp: No donkeys allowed in the poker room and could you also move that card protector off the table !
Have a good show guys.

Away in a cardiff bowl,
No chips for His hands
The little Lord tikay
Laid down His ace ten
The stars on the live stream
Looked down on hands He lay
The little Lord tikay
Asleep on the job
The cattle are prowling
The poor orford shakes
But little Lord tikay
No crying He makes
I love Thee, Lord tikay
Look down from the sky
And stay by my side,
'Til my chip stack is nigh. (ten minutes in)
"Hey mate, I see you've brought the donkey with you, What do you call him?"
"His name is Richard Orford."
"Not long now and I'll be able to record my pre-tournament interview."
'Nah mate....he's a donkey.'
