Last night nothing went right until the very end. A couple of hands that happened simultaneously on different tables summed it up. KK v Liambois AK,Ace on river for a £60 pot and then QQ where I called a 4bet all in. He had KJ and flopped K K x. Turn Q River K .
I was in a £240 hole and was lucky to hit a few hands at the end and get £180 of it back.
Tonight played for 40 minutes and won £137. Won 5 out of 6 dyms and kept getting hands that held this time at cash
Hope they don't keep doing these quadruple points things at cash. Could be very bad for my bankroll
Double points Dyms again please!
Got my car serviced first thing this morning and the dealership was next to a Greggs. I'm not sure I've ever had anything from there before. Food was rubbish and latte was abysmal. Won't be going again.
Watched 5 minutes of the football. If Vardy is good enough for England then we're in a worse state than I thought we were.
Got blown out for pub for 2nd night running. Not amused. Don't drink at home ever and I'm thirsty. Meant to be going tomorrow night now instead. I will be proper grumpy if we don't go again.
Harry likes me (I think) but point blank refuses to let me pick him up and give him a bottle in the night. Just happened again. Just shouts for his Mum. Same first thing in the morning. Looks like Penny is up at 6 again tomorrow morning. I'll get over it
2 of the ones I lost were a £2.25 and a £3.30. Won the £20's I played
I should whisper this. I quite enjoyed the plo8 game I played. I'm still pretty clueless but I think my dym experience means I can be competitive. Didn't win this one but apart from one poor call I was happy with how I played. I've said before how important my notes are to me with Dyms and as I obviously don't know the plo8 players, it feels strange playing without them.
A known mischief maker tried to do a little stirring between Tikay and myself. Not going to get anywhere with that mate. Another player expressed concern when Tikay put "GP" into the chatbox
If I'm really bored I might watch a bit of the England game tonight
Played 6 Dyms last night Won 3 and lost 3 for a nice little profit! 2 of the ones I lost were a £2.25 and a £3.30. Won the £20's I played I should whisper this.

It did not seem that bad to me, & once you took a flop, you were stuck. Think you had Q flush bested by an A flush, & a nut low draw? Thing is, that (arguably) little error in calling pre so often leads to bigger problems. I'm not much of a caller personally, I much prefer to be the opener. Hands I would open with are often not good enough to call or re-raise with.
One - very popular & likeable - PLO8 regular has a big leak here, & I'd love to help him. When our cards are dealt, before it gets to us, we decide what we plan to do. Quite a few hands are good enough (with the blinds big) to open with, but once someone else opens, we have to revert to Plan B, & fold. And he can't do that, he sort of ignores the raiser in front of him & still goes with it. Must cost him a fortune. If he recognizes who he is, PM me, & I'll try to explain better.
Yeah, a bit of stirring last night, but I try to ignore all that. Was a fun game we had, & I hope you join us more often.
Incidentally, I get a fair bit of grief - hopefully good-natured - because I rarely plan any hands early doors.
"Is the old man still awake over there, will he ever play a hand?"
Then, when it gets 4 handed & 150-300 & 200-400, & I'm battering that Pot button - & I do - they get cross with me for being too aggro. Poker players, eh?

Do we have a new convert to the PLO8 DYM's GP - I think you played about half a dozen last night? Think you busted me in a couple, too. From what I saw you won them all - except the only £11 one you played. Been there, done that.

That was exactly what happened. Won 4 out of 5 for a £1.58 profit

I might just have to after last night - win 10 of my first 15 games, played 31 in all & ended up losing £18. Marv.
I got well & truly jod'd last night. Have you had the pleasure of Jod67 yet? He is awesome, abso awesome. There are no 4 cards he can pass. Love him to bits, but when he's hitting, it's a sight to behold.
Very first hand of one last night we both our our full stacks in. You know my hand - they were really good ones, too, DS with 3-2. His hand - obv - was Q-J-4-2. Love that boy to bits.

Enjoying the style and humour of your writing. And with a 15mnth old who is exactly the same, found this very amusing.
Gl at the tables, but more importantly sincerely hope you are not stood up again and your thirst is quenched.
I sometimes take for granted one of the perks of being a chef in a very good country free house pub, my thirst is satisfied, for free, before i return home. Being part of camara and on the good beer guide im spoilt for choice with 5 guest ales to accompany the 2 permanent fixtures.
Mind you has to be some perks to what is other wise a poor career choice : )
Are there any sayings that you hate? I got talking to someone earlier. I wasn't sure about them from the off. They then said this.. "Believe, you, me" Confirmation! I immediately dismissed them as an inferior and cut the conversation short. Posted by Jac35
At the end of the day, there are worse sayings than "Believe you, me"
