    Should have stayed in and grinded dyms :) Bust the rebuy in weird fashion. At 1/2k there are 2 limps and I raise on the button to 10k. Both call. On the 8 high flop it checks to me and I bet enough to put them both all in. First limper snaps with AJ for 30k and Ace on the turn leaves me on fumes. Out next hand 6's into 7's Played some cash and you can sit with 500 bigs so it plays a lot bigger than 50/1. Was in for £950 and so to cash out for £740 didn't seem so bad in the end.  Really fun splashy game where you really needed to have the best hand to win. Very excitable Chinese chap know as "two pair" is very good for the game. It can be tough sometimes to keep smiling when he's peeled a 3bet to £36 with 73 and flops straights v your Kings. To be fair he did let me have a slice of the pizza he's just ordered after that. He giggled and told me that it was only fair seeing as I'd paid for it. I've now learned how to say "big fish" in Chinese.

    Afternoons are tough!
    Got the week off and I thought i'd dig into the 1900 points required for priority. Some ridiculous line ups.
    My last game

    TimmyRaRa
    Nutter5932
    Jaquelyn
    PatWalshh
    DrewMcRobb

    Hard to make money in those games. I played really badly as well. Ran really well though and so £119 and from 22 games and 370 points is a nice start to the week.

    Had some connection problems early on. 4 games were running fine but 3 wouldn't load. Was around the bubble in all 4 and so I daren't shut it down and relaunch Sky. A quick thanks to kelly12507 who came to one of the games that was working and told me I was sitting out. There are nice people around.
    It's a problem that clearly needs sorting quickly. I'm sure Sky are tearing their hair out with it but it just seems strange that there's no fix yet. It's been going on for a while now.

    Gonna go and whack a little ball round a field now

    Another solid if unspectacular day.
    Played the one mtt as i'm dyming mostly. Just bust it in 12th for a few quid. Makes it £71 up on day and takes me to just over £1k profit for month on here. Will be chunky rakeback as well and so I'm pretty happy with that.

    Getting a little concerned wth mtts. I'm cashing on a regular basis but not getting the really deep runs. Need to look at that.

    Closing in on Priority. Got 8972 points now. Phils going to beat me there :).  Hopefully get close tomorrow as I'm planning on pub Thursday night. Don't want to have too much to do on Friday.
    ....
    I've had 2 rounds on the bounce under my handicap. New stick is working.
    ....
    Wanted to go to opening game of season but got to work. With a couple of games on tv i'll see the next 5 matches though. As a Derby fan i'm naturally pessimistic but.... We have got a **** good squad for this division. Can't wait for season to start.

    9654 points here, so probably.
    Think this is a make or break season for Derby-suspect they will either finish 1st or 20th....

    Unfortunately there is no chance they will get close to 20th. Should be nailed on for top 6.

    Those teams with ridiculous transfer embargos on the other hand.... :(

    They were nailed on top 6 for 8.5 of the 9 months last season. How McClaren didn't get manager of the season is beyond me.

    Probably the manager from a small club in Dorset was better.

    Actually it wasn't even sarcastic. Any manager who can take Derby from running away with the league to 8th place by May is MOTS in my eyes.

    Just had a quick session. Ran bad and then I ran good. Got super lucky in my last £33 to give me a £79 profit. Lost £14 at cash (will I ever learn?) I'm so bad at cash.

    Having a month where I must be running miles above ev and yet I've moaned more in the chatbox than ever before. Never abusive, just pathetic whining when Timmy wins again :)

    Not sure I'm cut out for this grinding to priority lark. I obviously should be carrying on right now. However I just got me a text suggesting I drink copious amounts of Peroni for the next couple of hours. I thought it would be rude to say "no" and  so I said "yes"

    If any Dym players read this and see me playing around Midnight, I'm not drunk ok? I'm playing my A game and it'll prob be best to just fold if I raise.

    ......

    Spme people prefer brunettes and some prefer ......... 
    Add the correct word and place it before poker and that's next door.

    cheers for that, been wondering for a while.

    PS If you want some quick points just give the spin up tables a try.

    blue driver? Is that the equivalent of white boots back in the day?

    Looking forward to PNE v Derby and might even get to the away match too. Dont suppose you have a player of the season up for sale do you? The last one we pinched did rather well here.
