This mtt lark is hard work. Just bust last game. Played for 4 hours 15 minutes.
Played 6 amd cashed in mini and mega.
Bust mini in 16th i think. Had 88 4 handed and Claytov who had been raising me constantly 3bet. i shipped and he had QQ. Think it's fine?
Played the Mega Stack for some bizarre reason. Got to 3handed and called an open shove for about 25 bigs with QQ. He had 54 and so i was always in trouble there
Made a 9p loss on the night and got very few points
How deep were you, and positions? A 3b is different from raising constantly. I'm often pretty aggro raising a lot but then my 3b are often fairly tight since most players don't open that loose and so when they do it's just not profitable to 3b a loose range against them.
It probably can't be too bad but I think folding might be better.
Can't have been 16th and 4 handed unless at least 4 of you went out on the same hand!
Sounds an interesting hand though. Unlike that mega one. Had a live table recently where someone was opening big with atc. Sure he went out after a few hours but until then it was very tedious having him on my left. Still won't make me start playing dyms though.
No poker yesterday at all. First total day off for ages. Massive signing for us right on the deadline getting Johnson in. Always rated him and we now have real strength in depth. Our squad is so strong but it's results that matter and we haven't been getting them. There are already plenty of calls for Clement to go which is ridiculous. I do fear for him though. I doubt the new chairman will be patient for too long after investing £20 million in transfer fees. A lot less poker this month. I'm going to play tonight though. There's a priority thing and I'll play a bunch of other mtts as well. No Dyms planned. Posted by Jac35
More solid signings, when things click for the new manager's style of play (which they will) you guys are going to be unstoppable
It must surely be promotion or bust now though? £20m in one window dwarfs anything we've chucked out while the prem league signings won't be getting paid peanuts so seems like they must be right on the edge of FFP rules... who'd have thought Candy Crush Saga could be so profitable.
Obviously incredibly jealous as we look forward to fighting to try and finish in 21st place this season lol
UL in the MTTs, think DYM/cash is definitely the better option to try and retain some sanity

Now this is a spot where I'd be looking at the lobby before shoving.

Would have loved to have been able too. Download has crashed on me and it took an age just to get the browser working. Should probably ask sky for a refund actually

Things should click but there's been little sign of it so far. I hate it when managers go early but I think he'll have a problem if we don't win soon. It's a little reminiscent of when Pickering came in and we spent huge sums of money. It was ridiculous, we were outbidding the biggest sides in the land for players. We had a team of stars but didn't go up.
With the amount of money the new chairman has spent, I doubt he'll be too patient. Surprisingly we have been inside FFP up until now. That I'm sure will have changed when we spent another 10 million on deadline day. With the new guy taking over I wondered at first if that was a way around it with cancelling the debt. However, I'm pretty sure that FFP is based solely on the accounts - income/expenditure.
Back to Dyms last night. Far simpler. Played for 30 minutes and won some money and shut the laptop down
Been off work all week. Absolutely knackered. Had Harry all week.
Mums going to look after him this afternoon and so its golf and then beer
Whilst playing some DYM's last night, your name came up, & a mutual friend immediately referred to you as "Grumpy Jac", & suggested you enjoy the occasional rant.
I was somewhat startled, where on earth does he get that idea from?

No idea
Must have been a bit of a weirdo the guy who came up with "Grumpy Jac"
It's funny how everybody perceives people differently, poker being no exception.
I was amused the other night. There's a group I'm in. I had just won a big pot against a very good player in there who was a bit short. He asked people's thoughts on me. (He knows I'm in group and was just jesting). Another very good player who must have been unaware I was in the group came back with "tight, mainly plays dyms".

Can't imagine Jac has ever been referred to as scrumpy before. Ever.

Meanwhile, we need to find this weirdo who gave you the nic "Grumpy Jac".
Do we have any clues?
