The freerolls that sky are putting on are absolutely brilliant at the moment. Yep, you guessed right. i just won some money in one But they are good. The promotions this month are totally inclusive. Everyone can get 5 points a day and have a chance to play for some proper money. Anyone can win too. You only have to see the result from last night. Hendrik managed to snag a seat for the UKPC. Tonights billy freeroll was great. Around the bubble the players on my table were all counting down the numbers and telling each other that they just had to fold to make £20. I thought that it was only right that i helped them out and raised each hand to stop them getting into trouble in limped pots. Came 47th in the end for £80. Had a chiplead pot where the button shoved 15 bigs and i found KK in the sb. Against J5 i was looking good until he made trip 5s Just as that hand was dealt, Jdsallstar piped up with "gl Paul" Top bokking! Jimi would be proud of you Not the worst feeling ever but a bit disappointing. No complaints though. i had a bit of luck earlier on when i won a decent pot when i put the tight bb in for 10 bigs with 78. Him turning over 88 didn't leave me in great shape. He'd made a mistake though and not calculated that 78 has a much better chance of making a straight. ..... Derby are still crapp ..... Teeth are better ..... Harry birthday was good. He wanted presents again today though. Think that might be the case every day for some time ..... Leicester to win the league ..... As no one reads this i can safely admit that i don't mind watching The Voice. Thought i'd hate Boy George but actually, he's ok. This is the only bit worth watching as it is actually about how good someone sings at the moment. Once the auditions end then so should the programme, or they could change the name of it. ..... Not really had a proper go at getting into the UKPC up to now as i wasn't sure that i could make it. I can make it and a fair few friends have now qualified. Might see if i can get lucky and win a seat now. Posted by Jac35
Too good, I count at least 4 rubz in one post, and there may well be more that have whooshed me :-))

You were absolutely right to apply pressure at the time, 100% right. To some guys though, getting a £20 min cash in this is one of their biggest ever cashes, & a big thrill.
Lovely job.
What price will you give me that someone makes a complaint about Sky Poker Freerolls in the next week?

Most of my post was tongue in cheek rubs to some friends.
I maybe worded the bit about the the £20 badly. It really wasn't meant to come across as patronising. What I was trying to say was that it was lovely to be at a table where people were genuinely willing each other on to cash. One player on a big stack said he'd time down every hand to help them. Ok, maybe we shouldn't really be doing that but who cares.
When one of the players said it was his biggest ever win, I was really pleased for him.

No no, I got your meaning exactly & there was not a scintilla of criticism from me.
I just think it's wonderful that so many guys, many of them smallball players, got a shot at decent money tonight (£2k up top) & even a min cash was meaningful.
^^^^ Thanks Micky. WP Glenn, & good old Solly. As a matter of interest, how were you able to find the result? If I can't find a result in Gary's Thread or SS (& this was on neither) that's me done. Posted by Tikay10
You can search back through the lobby of mtts that you've played in the 'my sky poker' tab
awesome !!!! bigggest win when he prob struggled his butt off getting 50 poker points in 24 hours. tikay odds on mate i nearly bit on that comment tbh Posted by MICKYBLUE
Welcome to the thread Mickey
Tbf I can quite be quite rude but it certainly wouldn't be aimed at smaller bankroll players. Sometimes I word things badly. Actually, I very regularly word things badly.
I save my intentional rudeness for
Tikay
Hhyftdr
Hendrik
Cpfc
Samantha25 etc etc
Worryingly, I've just realised that I could mention about another dozen that I'm rude about

Ah, thanks, never knew that.
Does that work even if the player busts out first hand?

I was rather rude about the banter between team mates, friends etc a while ago in my little blog, I was wrong and take it back, I have come to realise that the history and friendship has grown over time and you are comfortable enough to be able to give and take rubz. I may even enter the banter bus myself sometime

I'm truly honoured.

I'm fare dodging on the banter bus.
Exactly what sort of bus is it? RT, RTL, RM?
