Glad my comment was taken in good humour. For what its worth pink ffloyds another brick in the wall is actually one of my favorite tunes. Probably due to my large hatred for some of my old school teachers lol.
Sorry guys I let you down! I was going nicely in my first primo but had some v unlucky connection problems at my end losing trip threes trip sixes and a straight in the end I had to shove on a pair of sevens before losing my connection again and lost to Andrew1947 Thanks for the opportunity I loved it and going out to the SPT winner has quite a bit of Kudos have a great show Richard
The weirdest thing I ever saw in poker was my first ever live tournament, it was held at a snookerhall which is very well known in th UK. We had to deal ourselvs and there was about 90 runners it was on the bubble and I was shorty. Two tables left and a player was caught cheating whilst dealing on the opposite table (Dealing from the bottom) However the very hand that he was caught the river busted a mid stack on the table conveniently the pot was won by this guys mate who was the biggest loud mouth ever. The people running this when it was brought to there attention allowed the bust to stnd but acknowledged that he may be cheating and said that he was no longer allowed to deal but could carry on playing as they could not prove he was cheating. I then bust expecting a min cash which was only like £20, so I go to the bar to collect my winnings and was told that as the other player who had busted had complained so much they had gven him the min cash prize as an apology and moved the bubble forward one so I technically bubbled. After laughing I asked for there manager and got a year membership and my min cash!! Kalie
firstly james have you ever seen the wrestling documentary beyond the mat? i am not a wrestling fan at all and saw it last week when bored was pleasantley surprised
re ladies events i dont have a strong view on them being around however i very much disagree with vicky coren naming the player involved. From what i can gather the man involved did not abuse anybody he just refused to discuss his reasoning behind it.
I cant see how a very expensive world series event attracts ladies to poker? how many players start off by playing such a high buy in event?
weirdest thing i have seen online was a few years ago on another site (before sky poker!)
the site which is no longer around ran a jackpot hand promotion which was $10k dollars for the winning hand and $1k for anybody who contributed to the pot and lost.
I was on the waiting list for the table as the hand was dealt and a massive pop up banner came up telling everybody this was the hand.....
On a ten handed table a player raised all in the next eight players FOLDED and the big blind called and they chopped the pot for a share of $10k.
I still have no idea how the others didnt notice the promotion and folded.
Hand ID #537167642 primo I'd very much like to know whether I played the hand correctly. My opponent had been aggro since gaining the chip lead on the table I raised to induce at least a call and had committed myself to shoving all in if he raised. Sadly my set up crashed before I made the shove but thats just poker but up to that point had I played the hand well or poorly? For the record I don't know why but I thought in my mind he had a pair of jacks
Great show as usual guys, played my first lucky 7s tonight for a nice 5th place finish, already looking forward to tuesdays one now. Also kinda cool seeing myself on the tv
it was at a snooker club (theme developing here james i was only playing there because poker in casinos was rarer then than a orford cash in an spt back is now
The story involves around a man known as "big dave" a heavy drinker who had heart problems and a **** of a gambler fearless to the extreme.... He somehow made a final table and continued to play despite suffering what later transpired to be a minor heart attack, he was nothing if not committed.
A few years later the same thing happened to him during a frame of league snooker he needed one colour to win and eventually won on the black before being carried away on a stretcher (he refused to conceed the frame) One of the funniest nights of my life with us his teamates imploring him to go in the waiting ambulance and him refusing in his drunken stupor determined to pot a colour despite barely being able to hold himself up let alone the cue.
Trouble with the £1 morning cinema, it makes the PicknMix seem even more expensive than normal! unless you smuggle in your own bag of wine gums of course !
